- Do not touch the diaphragms and/or speaker cones by hand or with tools.
- Do not put your fingers through the holes of the frame.
- Do not drop foreign objects in the units.

Caution
When using the speakers with an amplifier or power booster employing the BTL (balanced transformerless) system, be sure to connect the speaker system cords directly to the amplifier speaker cords.

Mounting

Before mounting
A depth of at least 46.3 mm (1 7/8 in) is required to mount the woofer. Measure the depth of the area where you are to mount the speaker and ensure that the speaker is not obstructing any other components of the car. Keep the following in mind when choosing a mounting location:

Make sure that nothing is obstructing the mounting location of the door (front or rear) where you are to mount the speaker.
A hole for mounting may already be cut out of the inner panel of the door (front or rear). In this case, you need to modify the board only.
If you are to mount this speaker system in the door (front or rear), make sure that the speaker terminals, frame or magnet do not interfere with any inner parts, such as the window mechanism in the door (when you open or close the window), etc. Also make sure that the speaker grille does not touch any inner fittings, such as the window cranks, door handles, armrests, door pockets, lamps or seats, etc.
The suitable mounting location for the tweeters varies depending on the type of car. Choose a location that suits your car.
