INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLING THE SUBWOOFER

1. Determine where the subwoofer will be mounted. Make sure there is a flat area large enough for the

2. Check to make sure the space you have selected for the subwoofer will not interfere with vehicle  operation.

3. If a template is included in the packaging, use the template and mark the hole with a pen.

4. Cut the hole for the subwoofer. A hole can be cut either with a pair of metal tin snips, a saber or jig saw.

5. Run speaker wire (not included) to the subwoofer. Make sure to keep wires away from sharp metal or other rough edges. When passing through metal, use a grommet to protect the wires from sharp edges.

6. Pre drill the mounting holes using a 1/8” (3mm) drill bit.

7. Pull the wire through the subwoofer opening and connect the subwoofer. Be sure to observe proper polarity.
