Installation

Choose a suitable location and surface for mounting the speaker. Keep in mind the cable will generally connect to the back of the radio and the supplied cable length is 6.5 feet.
CAUTION:
- Avoid mounting in direct sunlight or high-temperature areas.
- Avoid mounting in areas that block air vents, including air conditioning or heating vents.
- Avoid airbag deployment zones to ensure proper performance and to prevent injury.
Use the two to four supplied tapping screws to mount the speaker bracket to the mounting surface. The speaker weighs two lbs. and should be mounted securely. The supplied flat speed nuts can be used on the backside of the mounting surface to help secure the bracket.
Route the input cable from the bracket to the back of the radio and connect the SPK100 audio input plug to the radio’s 3.5mm external speaker jack.
Mount the speaker to the mounting bracket with the two supplied mounting knobs. Pivot the speaker to your desired angle before tightening the knobs.
Turn on the radio and test the speaker. The radio’s monitor function may be toggled on as a noise source.

Note: Connecting the external speaker will generally disconnect the internal radio speaker. Radios with multiple speaker selections such as the MXT275 and MXT575 need to have the base speaker enabled for the external speaker to function.
