INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install these speakers.

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

3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your speakers in place.

4. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.

5. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle. If installation in a boat, take care not to cut or drill through the main hull.

6. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle or hull area provides the best protection.

7. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.

MOUNTING

1.Determine where the speakers will be mounted. Ensure an area large enough for the speaker to mount evenly. Be sure that the mounting location is deep enough for the speaker to fit; if mounting in a door, operate all functions (windows, locks, etc.) through their entire operating range to ensure there is no obstruction.

2.Refer to the specification chart to determine the proper diameter hole to cut for your speaker model.The template provided also gives the proper cutout size.

3.Using the template provided, mark the locations for the mounting screws. Drill the holes with a 1/8" bit.

4.Feed the speaker wires through the cutout and connect to the speaker terminals. Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the wires.The speaker's positive terminal is indicated with a "+".

5.Fit the trim ring over the speaker and mount into place using four (4) screws.

6.Tighten the screws until the speaker and trim ring are snug in place to prevent rattling. Do not over tighten the screws.
