When preparing to install any of the Dynaudio Mobile Fidelity component systems or separates, there are three main factors that require attention: the mounting location, the physical dimensions and space allowances, and the distance between the complimentary speakers themselves.
It may be possible to install the speakers into the vehicle's standard factory locations. This may be done with little or no modification necessary. If the loudspeakers are to be installed in the car doors, make sure that the power window mechanism will not interfere with speaker mounting and that the window lowers completely.
Door speakers may be protected from water damage by installing or fabricating a drip shield. If the loudspeakers are to be installed on the rear deck, verify that the trunk lid supports are far enough away from the speaker baskets. It is very important that the speakers are installed into solid, flat and well-damped baffles and that the air space behind the woofers is sealed completely from the vehicle interior.
It is recommended that the speakers be mounted to marine-grade plywood or moisture sealed medium density fibreboard (MDF) baffles, and that all surrounding metal or vibrating surfaces should be reinforced and damped with quality sound / vibration deadening materials. Also, make certain that metal does not come into contact with the speaker connection terminals.
Kick panel mounting also works well. Angled door mounting of the woofers and kick panel, or dashboard/door mounting of the tweeters will yield good results.
Extended experimentation and patience is recommended, as these speakers are extremely revealing of everything from the recording, to your system's associated electronics and cabling, to your vehicle's acoustics.
