INSTALLATION
Mounting: Make sure the stainless steel mounting screws and U-type speed clips will not puncture the
fuel cell, wiring, or interfere with any mechanical parts on the underside of the mounting surface. Pre-drill
the mounting screw holes using a 7/64” (2.5mm) bit, and attach the KM coaxial speakers to the boat
by fastening the supplied stainless steel coarse-threaded screws to the boat’s structure. If applicable,
use the enclosed stainless steel U-type speed clips. If the supplied hardware is not applicable to your
installation, some other means of securely attaching the speakers to the boat must be used.

Wiring: Carefully place the speaker wire in a location that is clear of standing water and moving
components of the boat. For reference, the Blue wire is Positive and the Grey wire is Negative. The
locking terminal cover with water resistant gasket is removable for wiring installation; it helps prevent
terminal corrosion and electrical shorting. Connect the gold-plated male quick-disconnect on the end of
the 18 inch (46cm) speaker wire leads coming out of the sealed speaker basket to the wires from your
amplifi er or source unit. Place the connected wires into the locking terminal, making sure the divider
separates the blue and silver wire quick disconnects, and snap the locking terminal cover into place.
Connect the other end of the wire to your amplifi er in accordance with its owner’s manual. Mount the
locking terminal cover in a location free and clear of standing water by utilizing the supplied zip ties
through the integrated loops in the locking terminal cover.
