Installation

Location

If you are installing the RS525 speakers to upgrade/replace your existing speakers, re- move the existing speakers from your vehicle, disconnect the speaker wires and mark the polarity. Place the RS525 speakers in the location you selected in your vehicle and connect the existing speaker wires. Make sure to keep the polarity of the speakers and wires correct (positive wire to positive speaker terminal and negative or ground wire

to negative terminal)

Speaker Depth

Before you install your speakers you must make sure you	2.0 in or 5.1 cm.
have enough depth/space behind the mounting surface.
You do not want the back of the speaker magnet to touch any part
of your vehicle, or interfere with the operation or function of any
component in your vehicle. (ie. windows or trunk lid)

Mounting

You should only mount your speakers in factory precut holes. We DO NOT recommend that you cut holes for mounting the speakers. If there are no factory precut holes consider having the speakers pro- fessionally installed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if there is no sound?

1.Your stereo may have a blown fuse. Replace fuse with the same amperage and style.

2.You may have improper wiring. Refer to the wiring guide that came with your stereo/ amplifier. Check all wires for a secure connection.

What if the sound volume is low?

Your stereo may not have enough power, you may have to install an amplifier to drive the speakers

Why do I have a whining noise coming from the speakers?

You may have poor filtering of your alternator. If that is the case then you may need to add an alternator filter to the power lead.

Why do I have odd sounding noises coming from the speakers?

You may have corroded battery terminals and/or a weak battery. If the terminals on the battery are corroded clean them, then check the sound. If the sound system is still making noises check battery strength. If it is low, recharge or replace the battery.

Why does the speaker have sound coming from one channel only?

First make sure the balance control is set correctly. If the balance is set correctly your stereo may be defective or the speaker may be defective. To troubleshoot

this problem you MUST change both positive and negative leads of each channel with the positive and negative leads of the opposite channel, if the same speaker has no sound then the speaker is no good, if the opposite speaker has no sound then your stereo may be defective.
