简介
I upgraded the factory Harman Kardon speakers to the Kicker KS60 2-way speakers in the rear doors of the vehicle — but you can use this guide to install any aftermarket speakers you'd like.
你所需要的
-
-
Lift the hood of your Subaru so you can access the battery.
-
Use a 10 mm hex wrench to loosen the black Ground terminal screw.
-
Lift the terminal up and off the battery lead, taking care not to touch the Positive terminal.
-
Move the ground terminal out of the way so that it has no chance of accidentally reconnecting, or touching the Positive terminal.
-
-
-
Use a spudger or a flat-blade screwdriver to unlatch the plastic screw cover residing within the door pull handle.
-
Move the plastic cover out of the way so that the Phillips screw is fully revealed.
-
Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the screw residing underneath the plastic cover.
-
-
-
There are several retaining clips holding the door panel in place. Their locations are roughly outlined by the red circles.
-
You’ll find a notch in the door panel on the bottom of the door. This is where you should insert your door panel pry tool. You can also use a couple of flat-blade screwdrivers or a paint scraper in lieu of of a door panel pry tool, but you may accidentally damage your door panel’s paint.
-
-
-
Insert the door panel pry tool into the notch found on the bottom of the door panel.
-
Once fully inserted, pull towards you in order to disconnect the first retaining clip.
-
The door panel should now be slightly looser on the bottom. Re-insert the pry tool on the bottom-right of the panel, and pull toward you to disconnect the second retaining clip.
-

-
-
Two cables operate the door lock and door pull handle — a blue cable for the door lock, and a black one for the door pull handle. Each cable has a plastic sleeve that needs to be disconnected, as well as a metal cable ball that has to be de-routed from the door handle.
-
Firmly grip the plastic blue sleeve and disconnect it by pulling it perpendicularly away from the plastic bracket.
-
Lift the sleeve upwards so that the metal ball at the end of the cable is removed from its housing.
-
Pull the entire cable away from the door panel.
-
-
-
The speaker is connected on the back with speaker wire, so do not yank it out of its housing once you remove the screws.
-
Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the three Phillips retaining screws.
-
Gently pull the speaker an inch or two from the door in order to expose the wire and connector on the back of the speaker.
-
-
-
I also knew I would not ever return to the factory speakers, so this was a simple choice for me.
-
Use a pair of wire cutters to cut the factory speaker connector from the rest of the speaker wiring. Leave a bit of wire on the connector side, should you ever need to put it back onto the wires.
-
-
-
Trim the new speaker wire (that should've come with the speakers) to appropriate length. I usually leave about six inches of wire from the spade terminals so that they can be easily stripped.
-
Strip the new speaker wire ends in the same fashion as the door speaker wire.
-
Connect the other side of each butt connector to the new speaker wire:
-
Red to black-gray
-
White to gray
-
-
-
A low-cost alternative is either rubber or foam weather stripping tape.
-
Cut an approximately 1" wide strip of Dynamat and press it into both sides of the speaker opening.
-
Work your way around with more strips up until all of the speaker opening is covered in Dynamat or weather stripping tape.
