Tools Needed

 

The following is a list of some of the tools necessary for the installation of your speakers:

• Power Drill with assorted bits

• #2 Phillips Screwdriver

• Tape Measure

• Voltmeter

General

1.For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.

2.Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehi- cle provides the best protection.

3.Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal.

4.Mount the speakers/crossovers away from electrical sources (other than the amplifier) i.e., power cables, electronic fuel pumps, vehicle computers, and other potential noise sources.

5.Mount the speakers/crossovers away from areas of extreme heat or moisture.

Speakers

1.Make sure there is an area large enough of the speaker to mount.

Warning! Failure to do this can cause damage to the speaker if the speaker frame is bent during installation.

2.Check to see that the location is deep enough for the speaker(s) and the location does not interfere with the normal operation of the vehicle.

3.When mounting the speaker(s) in the door of a vehicle, make sure the speaker(s) do not interfere with either the door or window operation.

4.When mounting the speaker(s) on the rear deck of the vehicle, check the operation of the rear hatch or trunk lid. Make sure the torsion bars and other moving parts are not obstructed by the speaker(s) installation.

•Please refer to the Specifications section of this manual for proper mounting diameter and depth of the speaker(s).

Crossovers

1.Make sure there is a flat area large enough for the crossover to mount.

2.For best results, mount the crossover(s) next to the amplifier for a deco- rative finish to the installation and provide an easy upgrade (no new wires to run) for a bi-amp Rockford Fosgate system in the future.
