Installation
Preliminary Considerations:
• If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed by a qualified technician.
• 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.
CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
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 all functions (windows, locks, etc.) through their entire operating range to ensure there will be no
interference from the speaker.
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 1/8” 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 speaker to the cutout. Mount using the enclosed screws. Fit the grille into place and mount using the enclosed screws.
