INSTALLATION

These installation instructions do not cover all possible installation issues. If you're not confident about installing your speakers, have a qualified audio technician install them.

1. Read and understand the instructions before attempting to install these speakers.
2. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery prior to starting the installation.
3. For easier installation run any extra speaker wire before starting the speaker installation.
4. For the best possible sound, use high-quality connectors and wiring.

5. Exercise caution before doing any drilling or cutting in your car. Be careful of fuel lines, electrical wiring, vacuum lines, or fuel tanks in your vehicle.

6. Never run speaker wires underneath your vehicle. Protect the wires by keeping them inside the vehicle.

7. Avoid running speaker wires over, near, or through sharp-edged surfaces. Use rubber grommets to protect wires running through openings in metal.
8. If running speaker wires from an amplifier, avoid placing them near sources of high current like wiring harnesses or battery cables.

FULL-RANGE AND WOOFER MOUNTING

1. Pick a location for mounting your speakers. Make sure the area is large enough and deep enough for the speaker to fit into.
2. Refer to the specifications chart to determine the proper diameter hole to cut for your speaker model.

3. If you'll be using the grille, use it as a template to mark the locations for the mounting screws. Drill the holes with a 3/32" drill bit.

4. Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the speaker wires to the speaker. The speaker's positive terminal is indicated with a "+" symbol.

5. Place the speaker into the cut-out and mount it in place with the supplied screws. If the speaker grille is to be used, insert screws into the grille ring holes and then mount the speaker.
