INSTALLATION
Preparation/Installation
Please read entire manual before installation.
Before You Start
• Disconnect negative battery terminal.
(consult a qualified technician for instructions)
Getting Started
• Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install
the product.
• For easier assembly, we recommend that if additional wiring is required, that you run
all wires prior to mounting your speaker in place.
• Use the highest quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or
power loss.
• 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.
• Never run speaker wires underneath your vehicle. Running speaker wires inside the
vehicle provides the best protection from exhaust heat and environmental elements.
• 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.
Mounting
1.Determine where the speakers will be mounted. Ensure an area large enough for the
speaker to mount evenly. Be sure that the mounting location is deep enough for the
speaker to fit. Using an appropriate tool, cut a 4.9" diameter mounting hole.
2.If supplied, use the plastic mounting ring as a template to mark the locations for the
mounting screws. Drill the holes with a 3/32" bit.
3.Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the wires. The speaker's positive
terminal is indicated with a "+".
4.Fit the ring and speaker to the cutout. Mount them using the enclosed screws. If supplied,
fit the grille inside the ring and press gently, but firmly, into place.
