NOTE: The stainless steel hardware supplied with your speakers has been chosen to resist rust and corrosion. If the particular hardware supplied will not work for your installation purposes, please be sure to use only appropriate marine-grade (stainless steel) mounting hardware.

READ BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install these speakers.

2.  For safety, disconnect the negative battery terminal from the battery prior to beginning the installation.

3. For easier assembly, we suggest you have all your tools in hand-Drill, Allen set, Crimp, Soldering iron, Wire Strippers, Heat-shrink, etc.

4. Use high-quality “Waterproof’ connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.

5. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tank, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle. If
   installing in a boat, make sure not cut or drill through the main hull.

6. Never run wires near fuel lines or power (if possible). Running the wires inside the hull or car area provides the best protection.

7. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the tower.

8. Make sure that the mounting clamp or “L” bracket are tight before leaving the dock.

9. Decide early what type of LED lighting you want (if any) and wire accordingly (NOTE :if you want “Dancing Light” look to the WiFi or RF or BT remote-controlled LED light box. The easy way to have lighting … YOUR way!)

INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT

• An Electric Drill With Bits
• Allen / Hex Key / Wrench Set
• Philips Head And Standard Screw Drivers
• Wire Strippers
• Crimping Tool
• Vom (Electronic Volt Ohm Meter)
• Heat Shrink Tubing And Heat Gun
• Soldering Iron
• Electronic (Rosen Not Acid Core) solder

STARTING TO MOUNT
Step 1: Remove tower speakers from the packaging and ALL hardware.
Step 2: Find a GOOD location that allows for easy wiring of the speaker (and LED lights) -PLUS, does NOT impair your movement around the location.
Step 3: Using the supplied 6mm hex wrench spin out the 4-M8 screw that holds the top clamp.
Step 4: Drill 015 – 020 mm hole on the mounting tube bottom aligns the clamp wire out hole.
Step 5: Connect the speaker wire AMP out and LED controller, Insulated lock the clamp to the tube.
Step 6: Cut the length of the rubber pad and wires outlet according to the diameter of the installation pipe.

INSTALLATION
Step 7: Wrap the rubber pad around the pipe and align wire out hole According to the diagram. Step 8: Push the wire into the tube, press on the rubber pad, and lock the top clamp.
Step 9: Take down the safety rope and hang it on the pipe, lock the screw gasket safety rope lifting ring on the clamp base, and apply screw fastening glue on the screw before locking. Step 10: If need be, rotate the speakers for best dispersion, this easily done by locating the 6mm & 4mm hex wrench set screw on the side of the clamp base, rotate the speaker/enclosure to the desired angle, once there… locking the screws tight. Avoid vibration, clamp loose!!!
Step 11: During the mounting process, you should have located the spot to drill your tower bar for the 6 conductor wire (Speaker and RGB lightning wiring) insertion. Or NOT
(see Tie-wrap solution below). 

Step 12: Remove Wire NBR Plug and Slide the wire through the hole Snake the wire down to the bottom of the tower tube in a location that the wires can be attached to the audio (And lighting) system. The solder or butt connects the speaker wire coming from the tower to the speaker wire to the system. Then heat-shrink it for added protection from water/moisture.

INSTALLATION
Step 13: When you want to install a flat mounting, remove the clamp and take out the 6 core through it into the flat mounting bracket, then assemble it, see depiction below.
