Installation Specifications
ADP TC3-F | Fixed Clamp (tube diameter 1 7/8” to 3”)
- Step : Attach Male Connector (6) from clamp base to Female Connector (7)
- Step : Remove the plastic insert (3) from the clamp base (5).
- Step : (Optional Step) If you use the RGB lighting function on a fixed clamp application, drill a small hole in the seal point of the clamp base (5) to run the RGB wires from the pod to the tower. Take care not do damage the speaker wires when you drill through the seal. Seal this point with silicon after running the wires through. (This will require removing the four-pin connector end from the RGB wires as this will not be used in this application.)
- Step: Push all wires and connectors into the pod’s center hole as you place the clamp base (5) onto the speaker pod.
- Step: Attach two M8 x 30 bolts (4) through the clamp base (5) and tighten them into the pod. Please make sure these are tight. We recommend using threadlocker on these bolts.
- Step: Place the plastic insert (3) back onto the clamp base (5).
- Step: Find a mounting location for the speaker and clamp, and mark the pipe where the speaker wire will pass through.
- Step: Drill a small hole in the pipe where marked and deburr the hole, so there are no sharp edges. We recommend installing a rubber grommet in this hole to protect the wire.
- Step: (Recommended to be done by two people) Butt connect the speaker wire from the tower to the speaker wire from the clamp base (5). Red is positive, and black is negative. If using the RGB Lighting Function, reference the RGB wiring diagram for RGB color options.
- Step: Push wires into the center hole back into the tower and Attach the clamp top (2) to the clamp base (5) using two M8 x 45 or M8 x 60 bolts (1) depending on pipe diameter. Tighten the Allen bolts until there is no movement.
ADP TC3-S | Swivel Clamp (tube diameter 1 7/8” to 3”)
-
Step: Attach Male Connector (6) from clamp base to Female Connector (7)
-
Step: (Optional Step) If you use the RGB Lighting function, you will need to add the optional six-pin female speaker plug (1) (Part# ADP TC3-S 6-PIN) to the clamp. Once installed, connect the male four-pin RGB connector (10) to the female four-pin RGB connector (11).
-
Step: Push all wires and connectors into the pod’s center hole as you place the clamp base onto the speaker pod.
-
Step: Attach two M8x30 bolts (3) through the clamp base and tighten them into the pod. Please make sure these are tight. We recommend using threadlocker on these bolts.
-
Step: Separate the clamp base (9) and the detachment plate (2) by removing the M8 x 45 bolt (5) and the detachment fork (4) to make the install easier. Now you can mount the detachment plate to the tower without holding the entire speaker in place.
-
Step: The detachmenat plate (2) will be hard mounted to a cast tower.Butt connect speaker wires from the female speaker plug (1) to the speaker wires from the tower. Red is speaker positive, and Black is speaker negative. If using the RGB Lighting Function, reference the RGB wiring diagram for RGB color options.
-
Step: Push wires into the center hole back into the tower and attach the
detachment plate to the tower. -
Step: (Recommended to be done by two people) Insert clamp base (9) with pod onto detachment plate(2). Please make sure the male and female speaker plugs line up properly. The male speaker plug (8) inside the clamp base can rotate. Please rotate this so that it is facing the proper direction. A U-shaped groove on the female connector (7) lines up with a boss of the male connector (6).
-
Step: The swivel clamp allows the speaker to rotate in any direction. Slide detachment fork (4) and M8 x 45 bolt (5) onto the clamp base (9). Tighten the Allen bolt, so the speaker does not move.
Quick Release: (Recommended to be done by two people) Loosen the M8 x 45 bolt (5) and remove the detachment fork (4) for quick speaker pod release. Once removed, the clamp base (9) and pod will disconnect from the detachment plate (2). To reinstall, make sure the male and female speaker plugs line up correctly and insert the speaker. Once connected, reinstall the detachment fork. ADP
REV HD X | X Mount kit
-
Step: Start by removing the four screws holding the grille in place on the speaker pod. Remove the four screws holding the RGB ring in place. Lastly, remove the four screws holding the speaker onto the housing, and disconnect the speaker wires from the pod to remove the speaker.
-
Step: Remove two M5 screws (7) from the top of the pod next to grommet. Removing the screws will loosen the threaded plate inside the pod.
-
Step: Slide out the threaded plate inside the pod and replace it with the non-threaded plate (13) provided in the X Mount kit. Install it in the same direction as the threaded plate, so the screw holes line up.
-
Step: Push all wires and connectors from the X Mount (4) into the pod’s center hole, and attach it onto the pod using two M5 x 25 screws (3) provided in the X mount kit.
-
Step: (Recommended to be done by two people) Butt connect the speaker wire from the tower to the speaker wire (1) from the X Mount (4). Red is positive, and black is negative. If using the RGB Lighting Function, reference the RGB wiring diagram for RGB color options.
-
Step: Push wires into the center hole back into the tower.
-
Step: Take two M8 x 50 bolts (12) using a washer (10) and lock washer (11) and bolt the pod up to the tower. Please make sure that these bolts are tight. We recommend using threadlocker on these bolts. Some applications only need a single lock washer and a single regular washer. If the bolt bottoms out, extras are provided in the X Mount kit to help tighten the pod.
-
Step: Some tower adapters do not have a seal. Apply silicon around the wires to prevent water from entering the tower speaker. (If the holes on the
X Mount do not line up with the factory threaded inserts, please contact Wet Sounds at (877)-938-7757 for advice.) -
Step: Connect the male four-pin RGB connector (8) to the female four-pin RGB connector (9).
-
Step: (Recommended to be done by two people) Reconnect the speaker by attaching the male speaker connector (5) from the X mount to the female speaker connector (6), and reinsert the speaker to the pod (ensure the notch on the speaker aligns with the RGB wire going into the pod).
-
Step: Fasten the speaker with the screws set aside earlier. Place screws in the same location they were in prior.
-
Step: Reattach the RGB ring and grille using the screws that were set aside. Please make sure these are tight but do not over tighten.
Grille/Badge Alignment
Each LED ring on each pod has an arrangement of screw holes around the ring to be able to “Clock” the Grille’s position once POD orientation is determined. The same goes with the rear LED badge.
RGB Wiring
For sound response and multi-color control, an optional RGB controller will be needed. For single-color wiring with an external switch see the diagram below.
