VW Speaker Panel Installation Instructions

Fits up to 7" diameter speakers (or 5 ½" with 1" tweeters, etc.) Depending on which car you have, there will be 4" to 5" of space behind the Speaker Panel.

Really Easy Instructions

You'll need:

VW Kick Panel Installation
  1. 40 grit sandpaper
  2. Jigsaw with a fine blade
  3. Electric drill with 1/8" bit
  4. Phillips screwdriver (or drill with phillips screwdriver bit)
  5. Template for your speaker (usually comes with your system)
  6. Pieces of cardboard to practice on
  7. 8 Sheet metal screws.

 

1) Decide whether you will mount Speaker Panels over or under existing or new carpet, then;

2) Pre-fit the Speaker Panel up against your kick panel area above the heater channel. Some trimming may be required simply by using sandpaper. We recommend putting insulation, carpet or some type of pad behind the speaker, up against the metal kick panel area of your car. This makes your system "sound" better.

3) Once you are satisfied with the fitting of the speaker panel and its ready to install, you can now insert your speakers:

First, cut out the hole using the template, or practice on cardboard. If you drill the hole too big, then you'll have to buy another set and start over again. It is best to cut out the hole with the jigsaw, smaller than the template shows, them use sandpaper to make your speaker fit perfectly.

Mount your speakers, tweeter, etc. into the Speaker Panel.

4) Now, drill 4 holes, one at each comer using a drill with 1/8" bit. Hold the panel exactly where you previously pre-fit, and drill thru the panel and the metal kick panel of your car. Then screw the 4 screws into both, with a screwdriver (or drill with phillips screwdriver bit). Note: Bonding or attaching the speaker panel to your kick panel area without screws, will not allow access to your speaker, if you ever need to get to it. Carpet over if you choose.
