I took off the window crank, popped the clips at the top front of the door
panel, reached behind and screwed the interior receptor shell on without
rotating the speaker assembly.

Subject: Remounting door speakers

I'll be remounting my stock door speaker shells soon. (Using the recently
discussed Blaupunkt 3.5" speakers mounted inside).  It looks like the two
speaker wires need to be hooked up prior to screwing the exterior faceplate
into the interior receptor shell. Since it takes a number of turns to cinch
up the unit wouldn't that put too many excess twist turns into the speaker
wires which would also be revolving?  My plan is to manually counter turn
the wire leads prior to attachment and hope that will sufficiently cancel
out all or most of the final mounting rotation turns. Am I worrying too
much?  We anal retentive types just never seem to know. :-)
