SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

While we have designed the mounting system to provide a safe and stable installation, it is important to remember these are objects that will be used in an environment that is extremely bumpy and turbulent. Please consider all possible scenarios where these will be placed and secured.

INSTALLATION

  1. Unpack and disassemble the clamps from the speaker. Make sure you account for all hardware when removing it from the clamps. There are lock washers that must be re-installed on the clamp.
  2. Determine the location of the speaker.
  3. Determine the correct rubber clamp adapters that are needed for your application.
  4. The rubber adapters will need to be cut to length, so they fit the enclosure and clamp.
  5. After the rubber clamp has been cut, remove the white protective layer and stick them to the clamp and enclosure.
  6. Place the speaker on the tower and have the top clamp ready to place on top.
  7. Screw the two bolts evenly, until snug. Once the position is verified, tighten the bolts another half-turn. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
  8. The speaker accepts up to 16 GA wires, it is recommended you use a high-quality marine-grade speaker cable for your installation.
