I'm not sure who actually put this together but will offer thanks for the instructions. I believe that I found them posted somewhere on saabnet.

Give it a shot it should work.

Regards,

Theo




Run your own door wires. Here's how...

1. Remove the panel from the door

2. Pry the plug out of the inner door handle to access one retaining screw

3. Pry the door pull apart along its length on both sides to access two more retaining screws

4. Remove the circular clip on the doorjamb edge of the panel by pressing in the center about 3/16" then using your fingers to work the circular disc back and forth while pulling gently

5. Pry out and disconnect the trunk lock button on the driver's side door

6. Remove all retaining screws, including two on the bottom the door panel

7. Disconnect the elephant hose between the door and the doorframe by turning the connector counterclockwise and pulling it apart.

8. Remove the glove box and kick panels under the dash – you will get more practice removing circular clips.

9. Cut a length (about 15") of stiff wire, like bailing wire. Double about ¼" of one end over tight against itself. This will eliminate the sharp point when you push the wire through the rubber bellows. On the other end make a small loop and twist the wire around itself so that the loop will not pull apart. Tie a length (about 20") of heavy string to this loop.

10. Push the wire through one end of the rubber bellows inside the doorframe and pull through the string.

11. Tie one lead of your speaker wire to the other end of the string and pull it through the rubber bellows.

12. Untie the string from the speaker lead and push the lead through one of the unused, larger holes in the door connector from inside the doorframe, pushing toward the door side.

13. With the ends of both speaker leads flush with the surface of the door connector, reconnect this connector and push the leads on through the door half of the connector.

14. Cut out the perforated membrane for the door speaker. Reach through this hole and get hold of the speaker leads. Using one hand to feed and the other to pull, feed through sufficient speaker lead to reach the door speakers.

15. Use the wire/string tool push the wire through the rubber bellows inside of the door. Now here is where you will have to get both hands through the speaker hole in the door. Using the fingers on one hand, pinch and pull the end of the bellows that are tight against existing wires while pushing the fishing wire through this tight end of the bellows. Once you get the fishing wire through the bellows you are finished with the tough part of the job. Just pull the string through the bellows, tie it to the speaker leads, and pull the leads back through the bellows. Wash the blood off the back of your scraped up hands and apply Band-Aids as necessary. Also apologize for your language as necessary.

16. That's the hardest part of installing speakers in the NG900 doors. Simply run the other end of the leads to your amplifier, under the doorjambs and carpet.
