Before installation, please follow the following rules

  1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install the product.
  2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
  3. For easier assembly, we recommend that if additional wiring is required, you run all wires prior to mounting your speaker in place.
  4. Use the highest quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.
  5. Use caution before you drill or cut! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vessel.
  6. Never run speaker wires underneath or on the exterior of your vessel. Running speaker wires inside provides the best protection from environmental elements.
  7. Avoid running wires over, near, or through sharp-edged surfaces. We suggest you also use rubber grommets to protect any wires routed through metal or fiberglass.
  8. When running the speaker cable from the receiver or amplifier, avoid running it near sources of high current (i.e. wiring harnesses, battery cables).
  9. The positive (+) speaker output from the receiver or amp connects to the red terminal of the enclosure, and the negative (-) connects to the black terminal.

Guidelines
We recommend that you will have the best results by consulting a professional installer, but If choosing to do your own installation, please note the following:

  • Make sure all moving parts and factory electrical wires are out of your way and will not interfere after installation.
  • Leave a little slack in the wire to prevent pulling or stretching.
  • Use adhesive-backed tie downs and wire clamps to prevent the wires from getting caught or shorted.
  • Correct speaker polarity must be observed. The polarity positive side is marked by a (+) sign or red. Speakers that are out-of-phase will have little bass output.
  • Speaker wire should be isolated from the vessel’s electrical system to avoid noise being picked up by the receiver or amplifier.
  • The speaker wire should be large enough to carry the full power of your amplifier. 14 gauge or larger sizes are adequate.
  • Be sure to give your ears consideration. Listening to loud music for extended periods can possibly damage your hearing!
