Installation Considerations

Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install these speakers.
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 speakers 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. If installation in a boat, take care not to cut or drill through the main hull.
6. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle or hull area provides the best protection.
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

Flush Mount Option

1. Determine where the tweeter will be mounted. Ensure an area large enough for the tweeter to mount evenly. Be sure that the mounting location is deep enough for the tweeter 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. Mark the location for the mounting hole. Drill the hole with a standard 1.75 inch (45mm) hole saw.
3. With a single center screw secure the inner cup from the front of the door panel to the outer cup from back of the door panel. Tighten the screw until balanced pressure is applied to both faces of the mounting surface.
4. Feed the speaker wires through the cutout. Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the wires. The speaker's lead wires are indicated with a WHITE wire "+" and a BLACK wire "-"
5. Simply snap the tweeter into place and secure with a snap-on trim ring. Removal is easy if needed. The protective grille on the tweeter is non-removable and an integral part of the design.

Optional Horn Loading Mounting

1. Determine where the tweeter 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. Mark the location for the mounting hole.

3. Cut or use a hole saw to drill a 3-5/8" (91mm) hole for the flange to fit.

4. Once you have the hole cut, insert the flange and mark the locations for the mounting screws. Predrill your mounting screw holes.

5. Assemble the horn flange, o-ring, tweeter and retaining ring together. Pay close attention to the alignment tab on both the tweeter and flange. These need to be lined up for proper tweeter orientation in the flange.
6. Feed the speaker wires through the cutout. Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the wires. The speaker's lead wires are indicated with a WHITE wire "+" and a BLACK wire "-"
7. Secure the flange with the included stainless steel mounting hardware.
