Drop-ins are designed to fit correctly in the cutout spaces used by works speakers. This eliminates the essential to alternate the interior of your van (paragon for a leased vehicle). It very makes for an manifest do-it-yourself project. Many audio manufacturers design speakers in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit factory cutouts. Some retailers have a detailed listing of which drop-ins can be placed in which cars. Follow these steps to upgrade your speakers or replace broken ones.
Instructions
Selecting Drop-In Speakers
1. Check your existing speakers to determine if they are working. If you are planning to upgrade with new speakers, you can skip this step.
2. Determine where the new speakers will go.
3. Consult your local retailer about auto stereo speakers. Be sure to mention you will be using the factory harness to simplify the installation.
Good retailers ask for the year, make and model of your car so they can suggest suitable adapters. The adapters can be a little expensive, but the only other option is to cut the harness and splice in your new speaker.
Where to Put the Speakers
5.4. Decide what kind of speaker you need based on what you will be listening to. Good speakers have stiff, rigid design and makeup so they will last long and sound clear.Disconnect the positive feed on your battery. You will have to reset your clock, but this is a small price to pay for a do-it-yourself project.
6. Remove the old speaker by unscrewing it and removing the wires. Often special harnesses are used to make removal and replacement easy.
7. Put in the new speaker and screw it down.
8. Check that all the connections are secure and strong. This is especially important if you have spliced in your new speaker.
9. Reconnect the positive feed on your battery.
