Setting Up
Select the locations for your speakers
In selecting locations for your speakers, understand that there are two possible mounting options. It is easiest to mount the speakers from behind the mounting surface. However, if you cannot reach behind the mounting surface, you may cut a larger hole that allows you to insert the speaker enclosure from the front of the mounting surface. See Figure 2. With this in mind, find a location that:
•Allows sufficient room to snap on the grille. Use the template to be sure there is enough area around the holes you will cut in the bulkhead.
•Allows sufficient room for the speaker enclosure behind the bulkhead. During installation, the enclosure requires 41⁄2 inches (11 cm) of mounting depth. However, once installed the enclosure requires only 31⁄2 inches (9 cm) of mounting depth and 12 inches (31 cm) of extension. The enclosure may be rotated in a complete circle, but attaches to the mounting flange in only one position.
•Accommodates the speaker wire provided. Lay out lengths of wire that comfortably reach from the receiver to each speaker. Be sure the wires are secure and protected from being pinched, pulled, or damaged in any way.
•Is not close enough to adversely affect any compass.
Note: The magnets in the speakers will affect a boat compass. Avoid mounting the speakers closer than three feet from the compass. If necessary, a marine installer can help correct any deviation.

A.Mount from the rear if you can insert the speaker enclo- sure behind the bulkhead mounting surface.
B.Mount from the front if you cannot reach behind the mounting surface. If you are uncertain about the depth and clearance behind your mount- ing surface, consult your boat manufacturer or dealer.
