4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Pre-Installation Considerations

• Vehicle Compatibility: Confirm that the 6.5-inch speaker size is compatible with your vehicle's factory speaker openings. Adapter plates may be required for some vehicles.

2. Position the new Infinity REF6532EX speaker in the opening. Use the provided mounting screws to secure the speaker firmly. Ensure there is no interference with window mechanisms or other components.
3. If using adapter plates, attach the speaker to the adapter plate first, then secure the plate to the vehicle.
