Installation Considerations
Before beginning any installation,
follow
these simple rules:
1.
Be
sure
to
carefully read
and
understand the instructions before
attempting
to
install these speakers.
2.
For
safety, disconnect
the
negative lead
from
the
battery prior
to
beginning
the
installation.
3.
For
easier assembly,
we
suggest you run
all
wires prior
to
mounting
your speakers
in
place.
4.
Use
high quality connectors
for
a reliable instailation and
to
minimize
signal or
power
loss.
5.
Think
before you
drill!
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. If installation in a boat, take care
not
to
cut
or
drill through the main
hull.
6.
Never
run wires underneath
the
vehicle.
Running
the
wires inside the
vehicle
or
hull
area provides
the
best protection.
7.
Avoid
running wires over
or
through sharp edges.
Use
rubber
or
plastic
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;
if
mounting
in
a door,
operate
ail
functions
(windows,
locks,
etc
.) through their entire operating
range
to
ensure there is
no
obstruction.
2.
Refer
to
the specification chart
to
determine the proper diameter
hole
to
cut
for
your speaker
model.
3.
Mark the locations
for
the mounting screws.
Drill
the
holes
with
a 1/
B'
bit.
4.
Feed the speaker wires through the cutout and connect
to
the speaker
terminals.
Be
sure
to
observe proper polarity when connecting the
wires.
The
speaker's positive terminal is indicated
with
a'+'.
5.
Fit
the trim ring over the speaker and
mount
into
place using
four
(4
)
screws.
6. Tighten
the
screws until the speaker is snug
in
place
to
prevent rattling.
Do
not
over tighten the screws.
