mount the RetroPod onto does not have any electrical, fuel, brake or other critical areas that may
be
damaged
when installing the unit.

Modifying the RetroPods
_.
__
Once you've chosen the optimium location for installing your RetroPods,
as
well
as
your speakers,
now it's time to modify the RetroPods using a combination
of
specialized tools outlined earlier in this manual
After
choosing
which
speaker
size
channel
to
modify,
use
a
hole
saw
or
a
drill
to
start
cutting
out
the
hole
to
allow
the
air
saw
blade
enough
room
to
cut
out
the
remainder.
Now
use
a
file
to
trim
off
and
smooth
out
the
excess
plastic.
It's
important
to
test
fit
the
speaker
in
the
hole
you
'
ve
cut
at
several
points
at
this
stage
to
make
sure
that
you
get
the
best
Using
the
air
saw
tool,
carefully
cut
material
close
to
the
cut
out
channel.
Do
not
cut
along
the
channel
line
with
the
saw.
It
is
important
to
allow
for
some
extra
material
to
ensure
a
tight
fit.
