Your Optimus Three-Way Flush-
Mount Car Speakers provide clean
sound and each speaker can handle
up to 30 watts. The panel-mount de-
sign lets you easily mount the speak-
ers so that they are flush with the
mounting surface. To get the best
sound from your speakers, read this
entire manual carefully for the proper
wiring and mounting procedure.

We recommend that you wire the
speakers to your sound system before
you mount the speakers so that you
can test the speakers and the wire
connections. Then, disconnect the
wires, route the wires, and mount the
speakers.

Note: If you are unsure about wiring
or mounting, we suggest you have a
professional install the speakers.

All RadioShack autosound systems
come with four color coded speaker
wires. The following chart shows Ra-
dioShack’s standard color codes.

Connect your stereo’s speaker wires
to the speakers, using the color-code
chart as a guide. Then, turn on your
stereo to be sure that you properly
connected the speakers.

Note: Other autosound systems are
also equipped with four wires but the
wires might not use the same color
codes. If your autosound system is a
brand other than Radio Shack, check
the owner’s manual for the speaker
wire color codes.

Caution: Do not connect any of your
speaker wires to the chassis ground.
Use all four wires to connect the
speakers to your vehicle’s auto sound
system.
