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 does not come loose in the event of a 
collision 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.
