Mounting the car audio speakers
3
Before installation, follow these guidelines:
1
Carefully read and understand the instructions before installing this product.
2
Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery before installing this product.
3
If additional wiring is needed, we recommend running all wires prior to mounting
your speaker in place.
4
Use the highest quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or
power loss.
5
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.
6
Never run speaker wires underneath your vehicle. Running speaker wires inside the
vehicle provides the best protection from exhaust heat and environmental elements.
7
Avoid running wires over, near, or through sharp edged surfaces. Use rubber grommets
to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.
8
When running the speaker cable from the amplifier, avoid running it near sources of
high current (i.e. wiring harnesses, battery cables).
Mounting the car audio speakers
To mount the car audio speakers:
1
Determine where the speakers will be mounted. Make sure the area is large enough
for the speaker to mount evenly and deep enough for the speaker to fit.
2
Refer to the specification chart on the following page to determine the proper
diameter hole to cut for your speaker model.
3
If supplied, use the plastic mounting ring as a template to mark the locations for the
mounting screws.
4
Drill the holes with a 1/8" bit.
5
Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the wires. The speaker's positive
terminal is indicated with a "+".
