General instructions for connecting HELIX
speaker systems
We strongly recommend that you operate the com-
plete audio system at low volume before final in
-
stallation. This will allow a trial listening test before
securing the loudspeakers into their mounting loca-
tions.
Make sure that all speaker wiring is fully protected
from cutting or wear at sharp edges. This can lead
into a short circuit which might damage your head
unit, amplifier and/or speaker system.
Make sure that all speaker wires have sufficient
length in order to reach the speaker terminals with-
out stress on the wire or connectors.
General instructions for mounting HELIX speak-
er systems
Once you have tested the complete speaker system
and have confirmed correct operation, turn off the
audio system and prepare the loudspeaker for final
mounting.
1. Place the loudspeaker in the mounting posi-
tion as shown in the illustration “Mounting the
woofer”.
2. Fix the speaker with its mounting ring in its in-
stallation place and check if all screws are in
the right position to the fixing holes. Use the
included screw clips to secure the screws.
Tighten all screws evenly.
3. Attach the mesh to the mounting ring.
