SPEAKER LOCATION
The sound produced by woofers is non-directional. Find the best location in your vehicle. If using an
enclosure, it is important that the enclosure is properly mounted. After determining the best mounting
location(s), carefully check the areas where the mounting hardware will be placed. The installation surface
must be level and the installation must be “watertight”. No moisture or dampness should be allowed to get
behind the speaker. Use caution to make sure there are no objects behind the installation surface that may
become damaged during drilling.
WARNING: These speakers must be installed at least 3 feet (1-meter) away from any nautical equipment
(ie., compass, sonar, etc).
WIRING PROCEDURES
Once the mounting holes have been cut, run the speaker wire from the speaker mounting locations back
to the amp. If you are running wires through, drill holes for the cable and use a marine grade grommet to
properly insulate any rough edges from the wire insulation. Make sure the wires will clear any mechanical
devices and secure them with wire ties.
Carefully place the speaker wire (not included) in a location that is free of standing water and moving com-
ponents. Be sure to observe proper polarity—most speaker wire is marked (ie, colored wires, ribbed wire,
etc). Connect the other end of the speaker wire to the amplifier in accordance with its owner’s manual.
After connecting your new PowerBass XL PowerSports speakers to the sound system you are ready to carry
out a listening test. Please listen the first time at a low volume setting and check to make sure everything
is operating properly.
GENERAL CARE
The woofers may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use any cleaners or solvents on the grills or
speaker cones, otherwise the UV inhibitors maybe affected and/or the plastics may discolor.
