CAUTION Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury. Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install the unit.

2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.

3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your unit in place.

4. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.

5. 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.

6. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the best

7. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any

wires routed through metal, especially the firewall. 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; if mounting in a door, operate all functions (windows, locks, etc.) through their entire operating range to ensure there is no obstruction.

2. Refer to the specification chart to determine the proper diameter hole to cut for your speaker

3. Using the grille (not included in all models) as a template, 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. Fit the grille over the speaker. Mount them using the enclosed screws

6. Tighten the screws until the speaker and grille are snug in place to prevent rattling. Do not

overtighten the screws.
