Important Safety Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these warnings and cautions could result in
personal injury, damage to the vehicle or vessel, or poor product
performance.
This device must be installed according to these instructions.
Disconnect the vehicle's or vessel's power supply before
beginning to install this product.
CAUTION
Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100 dBA
may cause permanent hearing loss. The volume is typically too
loud if you cannot hear people speaking around you. Limit the
amount of time you listen at high volume. If you experience
ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have
your hearing checked.
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask
when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface.
It is strongly recommended that you have your audio system
installed by a professional installer to ensure optimum
performance.
You must read all installation instructions before beginning the
installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, go

Mounting Considerations
This component tweeter is designed to fill in high-frequency
music detail in your system when you install FUSION
®
Signature
Series speakers in a low area on the boat.
NOTICE
This product is compatible only with FUSION Signature Series
speakers and with specific DSP-enabled stereos rated at 2 Ohm
stable (per channel). You must confirm that this product is
compatible with your speakers and stereo before installing,
because installing this product with an incompatible speaker or
stereo may result in damage. Check with your local FUSION
for compatibility
information.
NOTE:
You should connect, configure, and listen to the tweeters
to confirm their ideal placement before cutting any mounting
holes in your vessel (
Configuring the Tweeter Speakers
).
Selecting the correct mounting location is critical to optimize the
performance of each tweeter.
• You should place the tweeters as close as possible to the
paired FUSION Signature Series speakers, and high enough
that the high-frequency sounds are heard and a sound stage
effect is achieved.
• You should select mounting locations that enable you to hear
sound from all speakers and tweeters at the same time to
achieve a sound stage effect. To achieve this effect, you
should not mount the speakers side-by-side.
• You must select mounting locations that provide sufficient
clearance for the mounting depth of the tweeters as specified
in the product specifications.
• You should select a flat mounting surface for the best seal.
• You should protect the speaker wires from sharp objects and
always use rubber grommets when wiring through panels.
• You should select mounting locations that avoid potential
obstacles, such as fuel and hydraulic lines and wiring.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, you should
not mount the tweeters closer to a compass than the
compass-safe distance value listed in the product
specifications.
•
NOTICE
You should protect all terminals and connections from
grounding and from each other. Failure to do so could result
in permanent damage to the audio system and void the
product warranty.
You must turn off the audio system before making any
connections to the source unit, amplifier, or speakers. Failure
to do so could result in permanent damage to the audio
system.
Speaker Connections
These component tweeters are designed for use with FUSION
Signature Series speakers.
The tweeter contains an internal passive crossover, and no
additional crossover module is required. You must connect the
speaker wire from the stereo to the FUSION Signature Series
speaker using the included piggy-back spade terminals, and
connect the tweeters using a length of speaker wire (not
included) appropriate for the installation location.
