lation. Please read the entire manual before you begin 

the installation. 

Features and benefits:

  and clear sound

Installation

Install the speakers in a solid and stable panel to get the best 

sound quality. Use the template to cut and drill. Fasten with 

stainless steel screws. Make sure to connect with the same pola-

rity on both speakers.

speaker magnets can influence the compass needle.

Safety Considerations:

Your speakers must be installed in a manner which does 
not interfere with your vessel’s factory installed electronic 
devices. You should also take the time to securely mount 
them so that they do not come loose in the event of a col-
lision or a sudden jolt to the vessel.

- Check before drilling any holes in your vessel to make 
sure that you will not be drilling through the hull, a fuel tank, 
fuel line, wiring harness or other vital vessel system. 

- Protect all wiring from sharp edges (metal, fibreglass, 
etc.) by carefully routing them, tying them down and using 
grommets and loom where appropriate.
