MOUNTING AND AIMING THE SPEAKERS
Mounting the front and rear speakers
Recommended mounting location:
roll cage support bars in UTVs and
golf carts; handlebars/horizontal bars
in ATVs and motorcycles.
1. Insert the ball of the mounting
bracket into the threaded cup
on the back of the speaker pod.
Lock in place by turning the large
plastic nut clockwise.
2. Place the clamp over the desired
mounting bar.
3. Thread the clamp into the speaker-
mounting bracket, making sure
that the clamp-tightening nut is in
the desired position.
4. Tighten the clamp by turning the
nut clockwise with a 7mm nut
driver or a flat-blade screwdriver.
NOTE:
Use caution when tightening the clamp not to push the
nut into the mounting bracket housing.
TIP:
For a neat installation, once the clamp is tight, you can cut
off the excess length of strap. Do not cut too much of the excess
length off; some slack will be required if you need to loosen the
clamp to adjust the mounting bracket position. After cutting off
the excess length, slide one of the included protective covers
over the remaining strap and ensure it will remain secure with
glue or other material, as the resulting edges will be sharp.
Aiming the speakers
The Cruise X speaker pod is capable of 22 degrees of articulation
and 360 degrees of swivel. To adjust the position:
1. Loosen the large plastic nut on the ball joint by turning
counter-clockwise.
2. Aim the speakers for optimum sound dispersion.
3. Tighten the large plastic nut by turning clockwise.
Note:
The nut on the ball joint is made of plastic; hand tightening
is highly recommended to keep from overtightening and
damaging the ring. If you would prefer to tighten using a tool, be
sure to cover the ring with a cloth to protect it from damage.
Do not overtighten.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS TO THE AMP
To speaker
To amplifier
Cable tie
Speaker wire
1. Connect the plug on the speaker cable marked "To Speaker"
to the plug coming from the speaker. Insert the male plug
into the female plug. Then, tighten the ring lock by turning
clockwise.
2. Route wires through the vehicle along a path that is protected
from debris, and the elements, which does not interfere with
vehicle operation.
3. Insert the speaker cable connector marked "To Amplifier" into
the appropriate connector at the amplifier's speaker output
connector.
4. Remove the "To Speaker" and "To Amplifier" labels when
connection is complete for a clean installation.
5. Repeat the process for remaining speakers.
Tip 1:
Connect the speaker cable to the speaker first and route
the cable to the amplifier mounting location to ensure that it is
long enough. If you need to lengthen your cable, splice new
speaker wire 6 inches from the end of the speaker cable marked
"To Amplifier." Be sure to wrap the new speaker wire in insulating
material, such as heat-shrink tubing, to protect the new wire
connection from debris and other elements.
Tip 2:
For a clean installation, secure the speaker wire from each
speaker pod using a cable tie attached to the channel at the base
of the mounting bracket. Use the remaining cable ties to secure
the rest of the speaker wires to the vehicle as necessary.
