CLICK HERE to view an instructional video on how to remove your door trims!

PHOTO 1 (Refer to the YouTube link above for more detailed instructions). Remove the door trim from the door. If you don't have plastic trim removal tools, you can use a scraper or similar. Make sure you cover the metal tool using some fabric or electrical tape so that you don't damage the paint or plastics.

PHOTO 2 (Refer to the YouTube link above for more detailed instructions). Use fabric or masking tape to protect your paint.

PHOTO 3 Remove the armrest, door pocket and white plastic clips from the door trim.

PHOTO 4 When installing a tweeter in the SDP, we secure the cable out of the way so that we don't risk drilling or screwing through the cable.

PHOTO 5 Position the SDP 30mm from the bottom edge of the door trim at the front......

PHOTO 6 .....and at the rear.

PHOTO 7 Position the rear of the SDP 15mm from the rear of the door trim. This is measured from the longest point of the SDP (toward the top).

PHOTO 8 The front should measure 25mm at the closest point.

PHOTO 9 Mark the speaker hole on the door trim.

PHOTO 10 This photo shows the speaker hole drawn on the door trim.

PHOTO 11 Cut the hole in the door trim using a jigsaw. The vinyl will not tear if you use a sharp jigsaw blade. TIP- use masking tape to cover around the hole you have marked to protect the upholstery on the door trim from the foot of the jigsaw blade.

PHOTO 13 Remove the top tape. Be careful- try not to tear the plastic sheet.

PHOTO 14 Remove the bottom tape. Be careful- try not to tear the plastic sheet.

PHOTO 15 Peel back the top left corner of the plastic sheet. Be careful- try not to tear the plastic sheet.

PHOTO 16 Reach down through the hole in the door frame to undo the plastic clip holding the top of the wiring loom in position.

PHOTO 17 Peel back the bottom left corner of the plastic sheet. Be careful- try not to tear the plastic sheet.

PHOTO 18 We tape the plastic sheet back to make the next step easier.

PHOTO 19 Reach down through the hole in the door frame to undo the plastic clip holding the bottom of the wiring loom in position.

PHOTO 20 Use cable ties to secure the wiring loom inside the door frame. Make sure the wires will not interfere with the window operation.

PHOTO 21 NOTE- this step is only required if the depth of your speaker magnet sits inside the door frame. You can check by holding the door trim, SDP and speaker in position and checking if the magnet is obstructed by the plastic sheet. Cutting the plastic sheet is not required for Focal ISU-165 or ICU-165 speakers. It is required for Focal speakers from the Flax and K2 ranges. If cutting the plastic sheet is required; cut it around the rectangular hole in door frame as shown in the photo.

PHOTO 22 (Skip this step if you did not need to cut the plastic sheet). Tape the plastic sheet to the door frame so that the plastic sheet is sealed.

PHOTO 23

PHOTO 24 (Skip this step if you did not need to cut the plastic sheet). This step is not compulsory, but is recommended for additional water proofing. We mark on the back of the door trim the approx. size of the hole in the steel door frame and apply a waterproof coating to the back of the door trim + the inside edge of the speaker hole. This is so that the area potentially exposed to rainwater inside the door frame is waterproofed.

PHOTO 25 (Skip this step if you did not need to cut the plastic sheet). Fit 4 white clips (one in each corner of the door trim). This photo also shows the door trim with the waterproof coating.

PHOTO 26 Please note, the 6mm Dynamat Dynaliner we use in the following two steps is not included with the fitting fit. These steps are not compulsory, but are recommended for additional water proofing.

PHOTO 27 (Skip this step if you did not need to cut the plastic sheet). Cut a square of the Dynaliner and stick it on around the speaker hole. This will create a seal between the back of the door trim and the door frame. Toyota have used the same concept with the hole for the rectangular door handle (you can see this in the photo above).

PHOTO 28 (Skip this step if you did not need to cut the plastic sheet). Cut a square of the Dynaliner and stick it on around the speaker hole. This will create a seal between the back of the door trim and the door frame.

PHOTO 29 Clip the door trim on the door frame using 4 clips (one in each corner of the door trim).

PHOTO 30 An extra pair of hands would be useful for the next couple of steps. Hold the SDP in position on the door trim. Measure from the bottom of the door trim and at each end

PHOTO 31 Hold your speaker in position and check the speaker magnet does not touch the door frame. If it does, you may need to shift the SDP a couple of millimetres toward the rear of the door trim. Important note- once you have the SDP in position, check that it does not touch on the plastic cover at the bottom of the B-pillar.

PHOTO 32 Clamp the SDP in position.

PHOTO 33 Secure the front end of the SDP using two 25mm countersunk head self tapping screws. Position one at the top and one at the bottom of the front end. These will hold the SDP in place until you install the mounting screws later on.

PHOTO 34 This photo shows the two 25mm countersunk head self tapping screws at the front and the clamp holding the rear in position.

PHOTO 35 Position the mounting washer 130mm from the bottom of the door trim.

PHOTO 36 Position the mounting washer 80mm from the back of the door trim.

PHOTO 37 Install the eight 12mm pan head screws. To achieve a secure fit, put one hand on the opposite side of the SDP to push pressure against the drill.

PHOTO 38 Remove the rear clamp. This photo shows the mounting washer installed.

PHOTO 39 The following 5 steps will be useful if you are installing tweeters in the SDP. The mounting washer is an ideal place to mount the crossover. This position lines up with a large hole in the door frame, so there is plenty of depth available. This position is also waterproof as it is protected by the plastic sheet.

PHOTO 40 We use a waterproof, exterior grade double sided tape to secure the crossover.

PHOTO 41 This photo shows the crossover secured to the mounting washer.

PHOTO 42 We use Dynamat Xtreme to secure the wiring to the door trim.

PHOTO 43 Re-fit the armrest and all of the plastic clips.

PHOTO 44 This photo shows the door trim ready to be installed.

PHOTO 45 Remove the plastic sill plate.

PHOTO 46 Remove the plastic kick panel.

PHOTO 47 This photo shows the sill plate and kick panel removed.

PHOTO 48 Unplug these two wiring looms.

PHOTO 49 Pull the wiring loom into the door frame.

PHOTO 50 Pull the wiring loom into the door frame.

PHOTO 51 Pull the wiring loom into the door frame.

PHOTO 52 Remove the black electrical tape.

PHOTO 53 This photo shows the wiring loom with the electrical tape removed.

PHOTO 54 Cut your speaker cable to length and run it through the two rubber grommets.

PHOTO 55 This photo shows the speaker cable run through the grommets.

PHOTO 56 Apply new electrical tape.

PHOTO 57 Run the wiring loom back into the cabin.

PHOTO 58 Click these two plugs back in.

PHOTO 59 This photo shows the speaker cable in position.

PHOTO 60 Click the door trim back on.

PHOTO 61 This photo shows the speaker cable and tweeter cable in position.

PHOTO 62 Top front hole- using a 3.5mm drill bit, drill through the door trim and through the door frame.

PHOTO 63 Bottom front hole- using a 3.5mm drill bit, drill through the door trim and through the door frame.

PHOTO 64 Using a 3.5mm drill bit, drill the rear screw hole through the SDP, through the door trim and into the door frame. This hole should be in line with the line in the door trim, and centred between the pocket and the edge of the SDP. This rear mounting point secures the SDP to the steel door frame.

PHOTO 65

PHOTO 66 Thoroughly vacuum the inside of the door frame. Once you have vacuumed, blow the inside of the door frame out with compressed air if you have access to a compressor.

PHOTO 67 This is a great time to apply some rust proofing oil or paint. the 70 Series model commonly has rust issues in the bottom of the door frame, which is easily preventable.

PHOTO 68 Re-fit armrest screws.

PHOTO 69 Drill the front two holes in the speaker grill out with a 6mm drill bit.

PHOTO 70 Secure the front end of the SDP with the 65mm stainless steel self tapping screws (use these for the front two screw holes). Use the screws supplied with your speakers in the two rear screw holes.

PHOTO 71 This photo shows all screws installed.

PHOTO 72 Fit the speaker grille.

PHOTO 73 Install the 25mm pan head self tapping screw + white snap cap washer. Then, click the grey snap cap over the top.
