Installing Speakers in Factory Cutouts 1. Make sure the mounting surface pr ovides a complete air seal between the front and the back of the speaker . If the surface is uneven, or if air can leak directly from the back of the speaker to the fr ont, seal the air leaks with silicon sealant or weather stripping.
6 RX67/RX67DIN Mounting Screw Locations Factory speaker locations for 6-inch (160mm & 165mm) speakers provide various scr ew holes for mounting the speaker . The RX67 and RX67DIN include several different sets of holes. Rotate the speaker until the corr ect holes line up.
7 RX87 and RX97 Installation Option The RX87 and RX97 can also be installed from underneath the r ear deck to reduce the installed height of the tweeter module. A spacer is sup- plied with these speakers to protect the rubber surr ound. The spacer is installed between the speaker and the mounting surface as shown in the diagram.

12 Professional Tips • Some installers construct mounting surfaces from MDF . This dense material dampens resonances and pr ovides a rigid mounting surface.
13 Adding Subwoofers and Electronic Cr ossovers The best way to combine a subwoofer with your Boston Rally Series speaker system is with an electronic cr ossover . Level matching (making the subwoofer play at the same level as the coaxial system) and precise frequency division ar e much easier to get right with an electronic crossover .
