Safety considerations when installing

Please remember that these are heavy products that will be installed in a boating environment. These vehicles can travel at high speeds and be unstable. So please consider this and use extreme caution.

Some safety considerations include

Do not mount the speakers in a location where someone may either walk into or strike their head. During a turbulent ride, please make sure that you do not loosen footing and fall or hit the unit, or it may cause injury.
Secure the wires to the speakers in multiple locations along their route to your audio source, so that there are no hanging loops of wire. Having unsecure wires in any hanging conditions can cause entanglement and injury.
Tighten the aluminum bands with rubber inserts using care. Do not over compress the rubber inserts. After installation is complete, please recheck all bolts and tighten them further if needed before taking your boat or vessel out for an audio adventure.
Do not install these speakers where they may block the view of the pilot and prevent safe operation of the vessel or vehicle.

It is strongly recommended that you work with an assistant to install these speakers.

Installation instructions

STEP 1

To adjust the mounting angle, loosen the metal base of the mounting band by unbolting the two screws.
Make sure to put all components of the mounting hardware in a safe location.

STEP 2

Twist the metal base to determine the optimal mounting angle for the speaker on the cage bar.
Then secure the metal base by tightening the two screws.

STEP 3

Place a supplied rubber (49 x 40 mm) pad on the metal base of the mounting band to prevent abrasion and secure clamping.

STEP 4

Place a supplied rubber strip around the cage bar to prevent abrasion and secure clamping.
Then push two supplied aluminum bands over the cage bar, and align the aluminum bands with the metal base on the speakers.

STEP 5

As illustrated, secure the aluminum bands to the metal base using a pair of M6 x 75mm screws, M6 flat washers, and M6 locknuts.
The locknuts must be installed into the hex shaped recess on one end of each aluminum band.
Hand-tighten the screws to the degree which allows just enough freedom to rotate the speaker around the cage bar.

STEP 6

Speaker installation now completes.

Speaker wiring

Speaker wire connection

Using speaker wires (not included), connect the two speakers to the audio outputs on your 12VDC amplifier. Make sure to observe polarity.

Warning

For safety, disconnect the negative terminal from the source battery prior to wiring.
Note your amplifier impedance stability prior to wiring.
Use only high quality marine-grade speaker wires. Make sure wires are not squeezed or damaged by sharp edges.
