 INSTALLATION

Installation

Please Note: Some Full Range Speakers are most often used as direct
replacements for stock speakers and are shipped without grilles or grilles 
may not be required. Parts of the following instructions may not apply to your 
installation. 

The installation instructions included here are basic. If you feel 
unsure about installing the speaker system, Dual recommends 
that you seek installation by a qualified auto  

 

sound technician.

Before installation, please follow these rules:

1.   Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before 

attempting to install the product.

2.   For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning 

the installation.

3.   For easier assembly, we recommend that if additional wiring is required, 

that you run all wires prior to mounting your speaker in place.

4.   Use the highest quality connectors for a reliable installation and to 

minimize signal or power loss.

5.   Use caution before you drill or cut! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas 

tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical 
wiring when working on any vehicle.

6.   Never run speaker wires underneath your vehicle. Running speaker wires 

inside the vehicle provides the best protection from exhaust heat and 
environmental elements.

7.   Avoid running wires over, near, or through sharp edged surfaces. We 

suggest you also use rubber grommets to protect any wires routed 
through metal, especially the firewall.

8.   Do not connect audio outputs from your amp or receiver to the Illuminite  
  inputs of the speakers.  This WILL DAMAGE the LED bulbs and WILL void  
  your warranty.
