INSTALLATION

Installation

The following installation instructions are very basic. If you feel
unsure about personally installing this speaker system, Dual
recommends aquiring the services of a professional car audio 
installation center.

Before installation, please 

review

 the following rules:

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

attempting to install this product.

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

the installation.

3.  For easier assembly: If additional wiring is required, we recommend

running 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. When running the speaker cable from the amplifier, avoid running it near

sources of high current (i.e. wiring harnesses, battery cables).

9. Amp connection: The positive (+) speaker output from the bass amp 

connects to the positive (+) terminal, and the negative output (-) connects
to the negative (-) input terminal on the input cup located on the rear of 
the subwoofer enclosure. DO NOT CONNECT AMP OR ANY AUDIO SOURCE TO 
ILLUMINATION INPUTS AS DAMAGE TO LIGHTS WILL OCCUR.

10. Illumination connection: The positive (+) output from your 12V system 

connects to the positive (+) input, and the negative (ground) connects to 
the negative (-) input on the input cup located on the rear of the subwoofer 
enclosure. Improper 12V polarity will not cause damage to the lights, but they
will not illuminate.
