Installing Jensen Triaxial Series Car Audio Speakers can significantly upgrade your in-car audio experience. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
-
Preparation is Key:
- Before you start, always read the Jensen Triaxial Series speaker manual thoroughly. This will provide specific instructions tailored to your speaker model.
- Safety first: Disconnect the negative terminal of your car battery to prevent electrical shorts.
- Inspect your vehicle's door panels or speaker locations to ensure that there are no obstructions to the speaker installation like window mechanics, or door handles. Ensure there's enough depth for the new speakers.
- Avoid cutting or drilling into critical vehicle components such as gas tanks, fuel lines, or brake lines.
- Route speaker wires inside your vehicle for optimal protection. Use rubber grommets to safeguard wires when passing through metal.
- Keep speaker wires away from high-current sources.
- Always observe correct polarity when connecting the wires.
-
Installation Steps:
- Remove your existing speakers carefully.
- Position the new Jensen Triaxial Series speakers and align them with the mounting holes.
- Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) speaker terminals, ensuring correct polarity. The positive terminal on the speaker should connect to the positive wire from your car's stereo system or amplifier, and the negative terminal on the speaker should connect to the negative wire. If possible, use factory wiring harness adapters.
- If necessary, run new speaker wires, taking extra caution to avoid any potential hazards.
- Use quality connectors or solder connections securely to ensure reliable connections.
- Avoid wiring the speakers out-of-phase, as this can negatively impact sound quality.
-
Mounting the Speakers:
- Determine the best mounting locations, keeping in mind the available space and depth requirements.
- Consult the speaker's specifications chart for the appropriate hole size needed. Use the speaker grille as a template to mark mounting hole locations.
- Drill pilot holes using a 3/32" drill bit.
- Mount the speakers using the screws provided, or use the grilles if applicable.
