The Right Tools For The Job
What
tools should I have in order to do a good installation?
*Multiple size screwdrivers, both flathead and Phillips.*
Phillips screws are most common; be sure to have #0, 1, and 2 sizes.
Magnetic screwdrivers are especially useful when trying to get screws
into (and out of) tight places.
*Soldering
Iron*
Makes the best connections if done with care. Use 60/40 rosin core
electrical solder. The soldering tool should use power of between
50 to 75 watts for most purposes
.*Electrical
tape*
Use quality tape that has long lasting adhesion at extreme temperatures.
*Wire
cutters/strippers and crimpers*
For stripping insulation easily, use a pair with stripper holes precut
for common wire sizes and a smaller clipper for finer wire.
*Angled
screwdrivers*
Often makes removing dash and rear deck speakers a lot easier, when
windows limit maneuvering space.
*Various
wrenches, pliers, and socket sets*
The specific types and sizes you need will depend on your vehicle.
*Multimeter
(VOM)*
Essential to diagnose and understand installation problems.
*Metal
drill and saw*
You'll need these if you need to modify your vehicle for new
speaker cutouts or to accommodate a new head unit.
*Hot
glue gun*
Good for installing carpeting or putting door panel trim back in place
after modifications.
*Razor
knife*
Helps for cutting carpet and keeping cut out holes neat on door panels
or interior walls, especially when installing speakers.
*Hammer*
For working out frustrations and occasionally delivering needed force
to start holes for screws etc.
*Flex
tubing & shrink wrap insulation*
Good for protecting wire and insulating connections, especially in the
engine compartment.
*Extra
hardware*
Nuts, bolts, screws, crimp-on connectors, wire rolls, tie-downs, etc.
*Fuse
puller and extra fuses.*
In addition to the fuses for your system, check your car's
fusebox to find the various sizes you'll need. Also, while you can use
needle-nosed pliers to pull fuses, always disconnect the battery before
doing so.
*Wire
ties*
Keeps the wiring neat and secure..
*Small
light source*
A flashlight or other light source will let you know what surprises
linger in the dark spots.
*Tape
measure*
Keep your wires as long as necessary, and as short as possible.
