Safety considerations when installing

Please remember that these are heavy products, that will be installed in a boating environment. These vehicles can travel at high speeds and be unstable. So please consider this and use extreme caution.

Some safety considerations include:

1- Do not mount the speaker in a location were someone may either walk into or strike their head. During a turbulent ride please make sure that you do not lose footing and fall or hit the unit, it may cause injury.
2- Secure the wires to the speaker in multiple locations along their route to your audio source so there are no hanging loops of wire. Having unsecure wires in any lighting conditions can cause entanglement and injury.
3- Tighten the aluminum bands with rubber inserts using care. Do not over compress the rubber inserts. After installation is complete please recheck all bolts and tight further if needed before taking your boat or vessel out for an audio adventure.
4- Do not install these speakers where they may block the view of the pilot and prevent safe operation of the vessel or vehicle.

It is strongly recommended that you work with an assistant to install these speakers.
