Select Increments Quad-Pods 业主指南
INSTALLATION
1) Put the units in their ‘installed’ position and check for full use of fold & Tumble rear seat and
soft top hardware. CJ & YJ owners have more space to work with and can move the units to the
front and the rear for positioning. TJ owners have a more “snug” fit.
front and the rear for positioning. TJ owners have a more “snug” fit.
2) With the Quad-Pods in their ‘to be installed’ positions, figure out where you want to cut small slits in
the carpet near the grommet holes for your speaker wires, one for the 6 1/2” and one for the sub-
woofer on each pod, for a total of four slits. Note: you may be able to run the wires for the sub-
woofers between the wheel well and tailgate area carpet pieces, negating cutting a slit.

3) Run the wires. Bring them up through the grommet holes and into the pods, no speakers yet!
4) Make sure the units are in their actual “to be installed” position and check the backside of your wheel wells

for general areas the self-tapping screws can come through, without hitting any of your vehicle’s
components. You’ll use one screw in the 6 1/2” cavity, behind the speaker, to go through the bottom
of the Quad-Pod and into the wheel-well. TJ owners have a ‘rolling’ wheel well and will want to run
this screw in on a slight angle, as far to the rear as possible, to catch the metal of the wheel-well.

You’ll use two screws behind the subwoofer to go through the Quad-Pod and into the wheel-well.
It is recommended that the screw behind the subwoofer is NOT drilled into the floor because the
pods may rest slightly off the floor. Having someone hold the pods firmly in place while affixing
them to the vehicle so they don’t move is highly recommended.

5) With a pod in place and wires run, and without allowing the pod to move or slide, run the screws behind
the subwoofer cavities through the plastic and into the wheel well. Next, do the same for the screw in the
bottom of the 6 1/2” speaker cavity. Repeat process for the other pod.
bottom of the 6 1/2” speaker cavity. Repeat process for the other pod.
6) Connect the speaker wires to the speakers, making sure the positive and negative leads are connected
to their respective speaker tabs and perform a sound check.
Next, replace the fiber-fill in the 6 1/2” cavity and screw the 6 1/2” speaker in place. Next are the subs.
There is a specific method for installing the subs and the grilles:
First, center the subwoofer in the pod and mount it using only (4) of the shorter phillips-head screws for
each subwoofer at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions.
Now, one pod at a time, place the grille back plates on top of the subwoofers, lining up the screw holes
to the unused screw holes in the subs. The back plate screw holes rest on top of the sub’s rubber gasket,
and the edge of the back plate faces upward. Use the remaining longer phillips screws
(4 screws for each sub) and screw the plate to the top of the subwoofer. Then you just push the mesh
grille cover over the back plate. The reason the back plate doesn’t go on first is that, when the subs hit a
bass note, the cone excursion will have the rubber surround hit the mesh cover and ruin the sound.

7) Now that the units are fully installed, a true sound check can be made. Adjust the controls on your
amplifier and/or radio until you like what you hear overall, listening to a variety or music. Remember
to check sound quality on both FM and CD / tape, since signal will vary (see #5 on first page).
