INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE
Installation of PowerBass Xtreme speakers requires experience with a variety of mechanical procedures
including enclosure construction. This manual only provides general installation and operation instruc-
tions. If you have any reservations about your installation skills, please contact your local Authorized
PowerBass Xtreme dealer for assistance.
CHOOSING SPEAKER MOUNTING LOCATIONS
Choosing the correct speaker mounting location will have the greatest effect of the sound quality of the
system. There are many different considerations needed when choosing the location(s) that best meet
your needs. The locations must be large enough for the speakers to fit. Care is needed to ensure that the
desired location will not affect either the mechanical or electrical operation of the vehicle.
WARNING! The use of silicone rubber to seal in a speaker will void the Warranty! If any sealing is needed
in addition to the speaker’s gasket, use caulking cord or vinyl weather strip.
