WARNING: BE VERY CARFUL WHEN USING POWER TOOLS.. if you are not confident with a router or trimer dont use it.. get someone who knows what there doing to do this.. only reason i did it myself is beacuse ive been using power tools since i was 5


Step 1: Remove coin pocket and handle surrounds. remove srew from top of door ( closest to body of car ), take of window handle, then take the door trim off so it looks like this

Step 4: grab your router/trimmer and remove the meat from the brace just enough to fit the speaker into.. u dont want to go to far or it will fall apart.

Step 5: Mark out where u want your tweeter to go on your door.. and use the guide to mark a hole... drill a small in the center then put the trimmer in a make it to size.. go a little to small first and see if it fits and make ajustments from there dont go to far... unless your after the DIY crap look. install the tweeter following the guide on the box.. pretty strate forward

Step 9: turn on the head unit and test it.. if it all works fine then you have done a good job.. if it dosent check wiring... and check that your head unit is not on mute :confused: if still not working contact someone who knows there shit

Step 10: put all the trim and trimmings back on and the only change you should notice is the new sweet looking tweeter


Step 11 : Repete on the other door




Other comments:

this is the first time i did a door install by myself.. so really anyone should be able to do a really neet job

Be sure to keep looking at DIY section for more Pioneer installs.

good stuff instead for the tweeter using the trimmer u can use a hole saw and stop before it hits the vinal and use a knife to take the plastic off but hey if it works!:P
good write up

Good work mate. I did something very similar to my car. Lools pretty stealth too appart from the tweeter showing, but hey we did buy them to show them off :). Nice and simple write up.
