SETUP

READ BEFORE INSTALLATION
  1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install these speakers.
  2. For safety, disconnect the negative battery terminal from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
  3. For easier assembly, we suggest you have all your tools in hand- Drill, Allen set, Crimp, Soldering iron, Wire Strippers, Heat-shrink, etc.
  4. Use high quality “Waterproof’ 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 tank, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle. If installing in a boat, make sure not cut or drill through the main hull.
  6. Never run wires near fuel lines or power (if possible). Running the wires inside the hull or car 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 tower.
  8. Make sure that the mounting clamp or “L” bracket are tight before leaving the dock.
  9. Decide early what type of LED lighting you want (if any) and wire accordingly (NOTE :if you want “Dancing Light” look to the WiFi or RF or BT remote controlled LED light box. The easv wav to have lighting … YOUR way!)
