MOUNTING
Amplifier
The amplifier is waterproof and may be located under hood in the engine compartment or other areas. Allow clearance for wiring. Inspect behind mounting area for clearance. Use #8 screws (supplied loose) for mounting.
Speaker
The speaker is weather resistant and is intended to be mounted on the outside of the vehicle or under front hood. Mount the speaker facing forward and as far forward on the vehicle as possible to minimize sound exposure to occupants. Choose a location that minimizes obstructions in front of the speaker to maximize forward sound. Attach the speaker to a sturdy part of the vehicle to prevent vibration and possible damage. Attach the speaker angled slightly toward the road so the front openings will drain off any fluids. Cover openings of speaker while drilling any holes.
DO NOT get metal shavings inside the speaker.
Switch Panel
Mount the switch panel underneath the vehicle dash board using #8 screws (supplied loose). Locate the panel away from the driver’s or passenger’s legs. Allow clearance for wiring. Inspect behind mounting area for clearance. Make all electrical connections before final mounting.
