Installing Your Speakers
Test the speakers
It is a good idea to test your system before installation. With the power turned off, connect the receiver to the speakers.
The provided speaker cord consists of two insulated wires; one is marked or ribbed, and is always positive (+). The plain wire is always negative
Be sure to connect each wire to the proper terminal (positive to positive, negative to nega- tive). For this test, just twist the wire ends together. You will use the supplied wire nuts for the permanent connections.
When you are satisfied that everything works, disconnect the speakers and continue with the installation.
Mounting the speakers
CAUTION: Be sure to mount your 131TM marine speakers on a bulkhead only. Do not cut holes in the hull. We recommend you consult a marine installer before drilling or cutting any holes. Choose a safe spot for drilling. Do not mount the speakers on surfaces with concealed hazards, such as electrical conduits or plumbing.
The cutting and drilling template
Locate the cutting and drilling template. It is perforated into the inner carton that contained your grilles and mounting flanges. The template has four functions.
1.It helps you position the speaker enclosure by showing how much room to provide for the extension of the enclosure behind the bulkhead.
2.It shows you how much room to allow for the snap on grille.
3.It assists you in cutting the appropriate hole size in the bulkhead wall.
4.It helps you drill the mounting screw holes in the bulkhead.
