Remove the three screws along the bottom of the front door opening and the small screw at the top of the factory kick panel.  Rotate upwards and pull the
panel away from the metal bulkhead.

  Always check the fit of the Q-Forms panel in the vehicle BEFORE any cutting or modifications are done!

Cut the speaker holes in the Q-Forms before installing the panels in the vehicle.  Using a hole saw of the correct size, position the pilot drill on the dimple at
the center of the speaker mounting surface.  Be careful as the hole saw exits the rear of the panel.  Install speaker wiring and crossover network as per
manufacture’s instructions.  Install tweeters as per manufacture’s instructions.  Install midrange drivers after Q-Forms panels have been installed in the
vehicle.

The threshold portion of the factory kick panel will be cut and saved for re-installation into the car later.  With the factory kick panels on a workbench measure
from back edge of threshold panel 36 7/8” (two door models), 22 1/2” (four door models) and make a mark.  Using a square draw a straight line across the
threshold panel.  Cut the panel at the line.  Remove the ribbing on the underside of the panel 1 1/4” back from the edge just cut to allow the threshold panel to
set flat against the kick panel.  Clean and straighten the edge with a file.  Use some 400-grit sandpaper or a plastic deburring tool to give the cut edge a nice
finished look. Repeat process on both factory kick panels.

DRIVER’S Side:
Lay the Q-Forms kick panel into place in the approximate location and connect the speaker wiring.  Install the kick panel into the permanent position previ-
ously held by the original kick panel.  Be sure that the front edge of the panel fits tightly against the rubber door seal.  Using the predrilled hole in the panel
behind the hood release lever as a guide pre-drill a 1/8” hole into the plastic behind the panel.  Be careful when drilling to
avoid wiring behind panel.  Secure the panel into the car by installing the supplied #8 x 1 1/2” pan head sheet metal screw
behind the hood release lever. Re-install the factory threshold panel that was cut from the factory kickpanel along the
bottom of the door opening.  Slide the threshold panel tightly against the bottom edge of the Q-forms panel and replace
the factory screws.  

Note: It may be neccesary to trim the length of the threshold panel to ensure the best possible fit.

Replace the small factory screw at the top of the panel through the pre-drilled hole. Lay the supplied polyfill in and around
the opening for the midrange driver.  Install the midrange driver as per manufacture’s instructions.  Be sure to center
driver in opening to allow clearance for the speaker grill.

PASSENGER’S Side:
Lay the Q-Forms kick panel into place in the approximate location and connect the speaker wiring.  Install the kick
panel into the permanent position previously held by the original kick panel.  Be sure that the front edge of the panel
fits tightly against the rubber door seal.   Make sure that Q-forms panel is as far back as possible and fits tightly
against the carpet. Re-install the factory threshold panel that was cut from the factory kickpanel along the bottom of
the door opening.  Slide the threshold panel tightly against the bottom edge of the Q-forms panel and replace the
factory screws.  

Note: It may be neccesary to trim the length of the threshold panel to ensure the best possible fit.
