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 signalor 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 instaling 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, especialy 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.

INSTALLATION
BEGINNING MOUNTING

1. Step: Remove tower speakers from the packaging and ALL hardware.

2. Step: Find a G0OD location that allows for easy wiring of the speaker (and LED lights)- PLUS does NOT impair your movement around the location.

3. Step: Using the supplied 6mm hex wrench spin out the 4-M8 screw that hold the top clamp

4. Step: Drill an e15-020 mm hole on the mounting tube bottom align the clamp wire out hole.

5. Step: Connect the speaker wire AMP out and LED controller, Insulated lock the clamp to the tube.

6. Step: Cut the length of the rubber pad and wires oudet according to the diameter of the installation pipe.

7. Step: Wrap the rubber pad around the pipe and align the wire out hole According to the diagram.

8. Step: Push the wire into the tube, press on the rubber pad.and lock the top clamp.

9. Step: 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.

10. Step: 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 angel, once there … locking the screws tight , Avoid vibration,clamp loose!!!

11. Step 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)

12. Step Remove Wire NBR Plug and Slide the wire threw 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. Solder or butt connect the speaker wire coming from the tower to the speaker wire to the system. Then heat-shrink it for added protection from water/ moisture.

13. StepWhen you want to install by flat mounting, remove the clamp and take out the 6 core through it into flat mounting bracket, then assemble it , see depiction below.
