The provided documentation details aspects of vehicle receiver and speaker installation when utilizing Crutchfield products. The materials primarily focus on identifying necessary modifications and potential challenges during installation, specifically noting the frequent need for wire splicing due to the unavailability of specific wiring adapters. The documentation emphasizes safety precautions and provides contact information for technical support.
Receiver Installation Adaptor
The Crutchfield receiver installation adaptor is designed to plug into the vehicle’s receiver harness. The documentation stresses the importance of verifying the adaptor’s compatibility before proceeding with installation. If the supplied adaptor is incorrect, users are directed to contact Crutchfield’s Technical Support Department at 1-800-955-9094. Installation of an aftermarket receiver will necessitate modifications to the vehicle’s dashboard.
Speaker Installation Considerations
Several pages of the documentation address speaker installation, repeatedly noting the lack of available speaker wiring adaptors and adaptor brackets for certain speaker locations. In these instances, splicing wires is required to connect aftermarket speakers. The documentation specifically mentions the absence of speaker wiring adaptors for both the midrange location and other unspecified locations. Additionally, no speaker adaptor bracket is currently available for certain locations, further necessitating modifications during installation.
Installation Procedures – Glove Box Area
The documentation outlines steps for accessing speakers in the glove box area. This involves prying off the glove box right trim panel to release three clips and then removing the panel. Figures 1 and 2 are referenced to illustrate this process. The documentation reiterates that no speaker wiring adaptor is available for this location, requiring wire splicing.
Installation Procedures – Rear Side Panels
Installation involving the rear side panels also requires attention to detail. The documentation references Figures 3 and 4, illustrating steps for accessing and securing speakers in this location. Similar to other locations, the documentation notes the absence of a speaker wiring adaptor, necessitating wire splicing. After securing the speaker/bracket assembly, testing speaker operation and reassembling the vehicle’s rear are crucial steps.
Safety Precautions
The documentation emphasizes safety throughout the installation process. It specifically warns users to exercise caution when drilling or cutting into a vehicle, recommending the use of eye protection. Awareness of surrounding components such as wiring, windows, fuel lines, and safety devices is also highlighted. The documentation advises checking the depth and location of any cuts or drills to avoid damaging the vehicle’s appearance. It also stresses the importance of ensuring that seats and seat belts are secured to the manufacturer’s specifications after installation.
