Getting Started

Thanks for choosing Dual. This manual is designed to provide information for the purchaser of Dual car audio products. Dual has attempted to make sure all the information in this manual is current. But, this information is subject to change without notice.

Safety

CAUTION

This symbol with "CAUTION" is intended to alert the user to the presence of important instructions. Failure to heed the instructions can result in injury or unit damage.

CAUTION To prevent injury and damage to the unit, please read and follow the instructions in this manual.
CAUTION If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed by a qualified audio technician.
CAUTION Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
⚠️ CAUTION Do not connect Amplifier or any audio source to illumination inputs. Inputs are designed for 12 volt power source only. More then 3Vrms connected to illumination inputs may cause permanent damage to the lighting elements.

Installation

Please Note: Some Full Range Speakers are most often used as direct replacements for stock speakers and are shipped without grilles or grilles may not be required. Parts of the following instructions may not apply to your installation.

CAUTION

The installation instructions included here are basic. If you feel unsure about installing the speaker system, Dual recommends that you seek installation by a qualified auto sound technician.

Before installation, please follow these rules:

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install the product.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
3. For easier assembly, we recommend that if additional wiring is required, that you run all wires prior to mounting your speaker in place.
4. Use the highest quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.
5. Use caution before you drill or cut! 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.
6. Never run speaker wires underneath your vehicle. Running speaker wires inside the vehicle provides the best protection from exhaust heat and environmental elements.
7. Avoid running wires over, near, or through sharp edged surfaces. We suggest you also use rubber grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.
8. Do not connect audio outputs from your amp or receiver to the Illuminite inputs of the speakers. This WILL DAMAGE the LED bulbs and WILL void your warranty.

illuminite™ Lighting Hook-Up Recommendations

The illuminite lighting elements of your XiN series products provide you with a unique custom touch to your vehicle. Dual's patent pending illuminite bulb system and control circuitry provides an extraordinary lighted-Hue illumination which allows great creative opportunities for the beginner and seasoned custom installer alike. The interior of your vehicle will never sound or look ordinary again. Let your imagination take you there.

The lighting features of all illuminite products require a 12 volt power source to operate. The speaker has two distinct sets of input terminals. The first is labeled audio input terminals and the second is labeled illuminite lighting inputs. The inputs are clearly marked with a label positioned directly above the terminal housing. The polarity (+ and -) indicators for each set of inputs also appear on these labels.

1. Do not connect Amplifier or any audio source to illuminite lighting inputs. Inputs are designed for switched 12 volt power source only. More then 3V rms connected to illumination inputs can cause permanent damage to the lighting elements.
2. See fig. 1a, (illustrates wiring diagram) be sure to maintain polarity. Be sure to connect to a constant switched 12 volt source. Correct connection would be the positive (+) 12 volt wire to the Positive (+) illuminite Lighting input terminal and connect the Negative (-) illuminite lighting input terminal to a good chassis ground.

Notice: The Illuminite™ series LED illumination elements are not removable. There are no serviceable parts inside or attached to the speaker assembly. The Illuminite™ series products are sensitive electronic devices. Removal or tampering with any part or portion of the speaker and/or its assemblies will damage the product and void the limited warranty.

s Mounting

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.
2. Refer to the specification chart to determine the proper diameter hole to cut for your speaker model.
3. If supplied, use the plastic mounting ring as a template to mark the locations for the mounting screws. Drill the holes with a 1/8" bit.
4. Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the wires. The speaker's positive terminal is indicated with the "+" symbol.
5. Fit the ring and speaker to the cut-out. Mount them using the enclosed screws. If supplied, fit the grille inside the ring and press gently, but firmly, into place and attach with screws.
