“Installing a sound system is an awesome way to customize your car.
If you’re passionate about the project, it’s going to require a lot of time and materials, but it’s definitely possible!
First, you’ll need to gather these materials:
  • Screwdrivers
  • Torx drivers and bits
  • Drill
  • Allen wrench
  • Socket wrench set
  • Wirecutter
  • Solder/ Soldering iron
  • Crimping tools and connectors
  • Panel removal tool
  • Hobby knife
  • Electrical tape
  • Retaining clip remover
Then, follow these steps for installation:
  • Disconnect your car’s battery.
  • Consider where your tweeters and subwoofers will be.
  • Check the size and shape of your new and old speakers.
  • Pry the panels off with a trim removal tool.
  • Unplug the speaker and pull out the blade connectors. Gently remove the factory speaker. Your speaker connects to the main wiring via a plug attached to a wiring harness.
  • Connect your new speaker’s wiring harness.
  • Reconnect your battery.
  • Turn on the stereo and test your new speakers.
  • Secure your new speaker with screws.
Once you’re ready to rock out with your new speakers, be sure they’re protected from theft or damage. Check with your
car insurance company
to see if they offer
sound system coverage
.
If they don’t, request quotes from other companies or use the
