The placement of the speakers will vary from vehicle to vehicle. Most vehicles have  factory 
cut-outs on the rear window deck behind the rear seat, in the front doors, or front kick panels. 
Before  permanently  installing  the  RS400  speakers  in  your  car,  connect  the  wires  to  the 
speakers according to your audio systems installation manual in the approximate location 
you  will  install  them.  If  you  are  satisfied  with  the  location,  proceed  with  the  permanent 
installation.
Before  you  install  the  RS400  speakers,  you  must  make  sure 
you  have  enough  depth/space  behind  the  mounting  surface. 
You do not want the back of the speaker magnet to touch any 
part of your vehicle or interfere with the operation or function of 
any component in your vehicle. (i.e. windows or trunk lid)
What if there is no sound?
1. Your stereo may have a blown fuse. Replace fuse with the same amperage and style.
2. You may have improper wiring. Refer to the wiring guide that came with your stereo/amplifier. Check 
all wires for a secure connection.
What if the sound volume is low? 
Your stereo may not have enough power; you may have to install an amplifier to drive the speakers.
Why do I have a whining noise coming from the speakers?
You may have poor filtering of your alternator. If that is the case you may need to add an alternator filter 
to the power lead.
Why do I have odd sounding noises coming from the speakers?
You may have corroded battery terminals and/or a weak battery. If the terminals on the battery are 
corroded, clean them; then check the sound. If the sound system is still making noises, check battery 
strength. If it is low, recharge or replace the battery.
Why does the speaker have sound coming from one channel only?
First make sure the balance control is set correctly. If the balance is set correctly, your stereo may be 
defective  or  the  speaker  may  be  defective.  To  troubleshoot  this  problem  you  MUST  change  both 
positive  and  negative  leads  of  each  channel  with  the  positive  and  negative  leads  of  the  opposite 
channel. If the same speaker has no sound, then the speaker is no good. If the opposite speaker has 
no sound your stereo may be defective.
You  should  only  mount  your  speakers  in  factory  precut  holes.  We  DO  NOT 
recommend  that  you  cut  holes  for  mounting  the  speakers.  If  there  are  no 
factory precut holes consider having the speakers professionally installed.
1. Connect speaker wires.
2. Slip the spring nut(s) (provided) 
into place and align the holes.
3.  Place  the  speaker  grill  on  the 
speaker, lining up the hole for 
the screws .
4. Screw the speaker and grill into 
place with screws (provided).
The  RS400  may  be  installed  in  a  speaker 
enclosure.  Use  the  supplied  template  to 
check if the holes in the enclosure matches 
the speaker. 
All auto audio components must be securely mounted. Driving styles and 
road conditions such as sudden stops, sharp curves, and bumpy roads 
may cause unsecured items to move about the vehicle, causing physical 
injuries to vehicle occupants and/or vehicle damage.
When connecting the speaker wires to your speakers in a new installation, you should follow 
the wiring instructions from your audio system’s manufacturer. For most systems the positive 
wire attaches to the positive speaker terminal and the negative wire attaches to the negative 
terminal.
Use a knife or wire strippers to strip 
the insulation off of the last half inch 
of  the  individual  wires.  Twist  the 
strands of wire together.
Press  on  terminal  until  holes  line  up.  Insert  the  wires  as 
shown.  Maintain  proper  polarity  by  attaching  the  Positive 
Wire(
+
) to Positive Terminal(
+
). And attaching the Negative 
Wire(-) to Negative Terminal(-)
