Mounting

When it is more convenient to mount the enclosure along a side wall, your best option is to put it on the right side of the vehicle. (Shown below) This orientation will point the vent toward the rear of the vehicle and will produce the most low bass output. Remember to leave at least four inches of room between the enclosure and the back of the vehicle.

After determining the best mounting position, check carefully in the areas where the mounting brackets will go. Make very sure that the mounting screws will not puncture the gas tank, brake lines, wire harnesses, etc., or interfere with any mechanical items on the underside of the chosen mount- ing surface. Turn the enclosure upside-down and attach the four mounting brackets to the bottom of the enclosure using the supplied smaller screws. Each bracket must be positioned so the rounded end protrudes approxi- mately 3/4" from under the cabinet to allow a screw to easily pass through it for attachment to the vehicle.(See Diagram on opposite page.)

Plug your subwoofer speaker wire into the terminals, using the red con- nector as positive and the black connector as negative. Hook the other end of this wire to your subwoofer amplifier in accordance with its owner's man- ual. This enclosure is wired internally to produce a 2 or 4 Ohm load at the terminals depending on the model.

With the enclosure right side up, securely attach it to the vehicle with the supplied larger screws. If the supplied hardware is not applicable to your installation, some other means of securely attaching the enclosure to the vehicle must be used.

To avoid potential injury from forward movement of the enclosure during abrupt stops or accidents, this enclosure must be properly installed and securely fastened to your vehicle.
