Disclaimer: The following is provided as a GUIDE ONLY, and neither myself nor Ozhonda take any responsibility for the outcomes of someone else doing the following. You follow these steps at your own risk!


Aim: To fit new Pioneer 6" splits to the doors of the EG


Required: Pioneer splits, Drill, router / Trimmer, safty googles , resporator good tool box ( screw drivers, spanners shifters etc etc ) tape measure, speacker cable, stick on velcro, zip ties





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 2: Un-screw origonal speacker and remove from car from car and remove plastic speacker brace.. prepare it for a extreame wieght reduction





Step 3: unpack your 6" splits


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 6: Stick some Velcro to the back off the crossover and stick to the underside of the door where it will not hit support for the door




Step 7: Wire the woofer to the crossover, the tweeter to the crossover and the amp to the crossover




Step 8: re-install the plastic speaker brace and screw the woofer to the modified brace



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 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

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 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.
