If you want to complement your new car stereo with speakers that deliver excellent sound quality, then now is probably a good time to learn how to install those speakers. Having your car speakers installed by a professional can cost you money, but learning how to install speakers yourself can help save you money on those installation costs. In most cases, you can go on to add more custom items to your car’s sound system with the money you’ve saved.

Of course, you will need the proper tools in order to successfully install speakers. These include a variety of screwdrivers, including Phillips head and flat blade screwdrivers, a Torx driver with plenty of bits, a drill, Allen wrenches, wire cutters, electrical tape and a crimping tool. Most of these tools can make it much easier for you to install your new speakers.

Each car presents it’s own challenge in regards to installation. This is because many vehicles have different methods of mounting and securing speakers. Some speakers are able to fit into the factory speaker openings and use the factory grill and brackets, while other speakers need minor modifications, such as new holes being made for screws or a small amount of metal or cardboard being cut away in order for the new speakers to fit properly.

Speakers located in the dash are relatively simple to replace. All that is needed is to remove the grilles, which in most cases are held down by tabs, friction fittings or screws. If you need to remove screws, an offset screwdriver can aid you in doing so without risking damage to the windshield, especially if the screw is located close to it. Replacing door speakers can be an easy task in some cars, as all that is needed is a flat blade screwdriver to remove the grille. In many cars, the speakers are retained by brackets or screws. All that is needed is a Phillips head screwdriver in order to remove the speakers from their mounts.
