INSTALLATION TIPS
Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
•
Turn off all audio components and other electrical devices before you
•
start. Disconnect the negative (–) lead from your vehicle’s battery.
Check clearances on both sides of a planned mounting surface. Be
•
sure that screws or wires will not puncture brake lines, fuel lines or
wiring harnesses, and that wire routing will not interfere with the safe
operation of the vehicle.
When making electrical connections, make sure they are secure and
•
properly insulated.
Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility knife to remove unwanted
•
fabric or vinyl to keep it from snagging in a drill bit or saw.
Do not mount speakers where they will get wet.

CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION FOR THE SUBWOOFER TUBE
Choose a mounting location that doesn’t interfere with cargo, the fold-
down rear seat or the trunk lid. The best location is usually a corner of
the trunk or cargo area.
CONNECTIONS
Connect the “+” and “–” terminals on the subwoofer tube to the
amplifier’s outputs, observing proper polarity. Use at least 0.5mm
2
speaker wire for the connections to the subwoofer tube.
