Rear Metal Mesh Speaker Grilles Installation Instructions NOTE: KENWOOD CA-GRL14UT grilles fit 2014+ factory rear speaker pods, the KENWOOD CA-POD14AC and CA-POD14LC, and can also be used if installing speakers in factory lower speaker adaptors for air-cooled bikes. Installation procedure 1. Ensure your ignition switch stays in the "OFF" position. 2. Remove the factory rear speaker grilles by unscrewing the 4 "Torx" screws on the front of the grilles. With all 4 screws removed, the factory grilles will now come off the factory rear speaker "pod". 3. Set the new grilles in place, and using the factory screws removed earlier, secure the grille to the "pod" so the screws also go through the mounting holes in the speakers. NOTE: The factory rubber "nutserts" on the rear pod side can be finicky. It's a good idea to get all 4 grille screws "started" and then get each one snug. Gradually tighten each one down making sure all 4 screws holding the grille down are secure. NOTE: You can customize these grilles by carefully "breaking" the adhesive that holds the trim and mesh together on the back side of the grille. The trim is easily painted, and the metal mesh is thick enough that it should not warp during powder coating, polishing, chroming, or other similar processing.
