Initial Setup

Installation Considerations:

Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install these speakers.
For safety, disconnect the negative battery terminal from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
For easier assembly, we suggest you have all your tools handy- Drill, Allen set, Crimps, Soldering iron, wire strippers, heat-shrink, etc.
Use high-quality “Water Proof” connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.
Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines, or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle. If installation in a boat, take care not to cut or drill through the main hull.
Never run wires near fuel lines or power (if possible). Running the wires inside the hull area provides the best protection.
Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic Grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the tower.
Make sure that the mounting clamps are tight before leaving dock.
Decide early what type of LED lighting you want (if any) and wire accordingly (NOTE: if you want “Dancing lights” look to the RPMDLED – RF remote-controlled LED lightbox. The easy way to have lighting …YOUR way!)

Installation

MOUNTING
Step 1: Remove tower speakers from the packaging and ALL hardware.
Step 2: Find a GOOD location that allows for easy wiring of the speakers (and LED lights) – PLUS does NOT impair you move around the location.
Step 3: Using the supplied M6 Allen wrench remove the 2 – M6/50mm bolts that hold the clamp tops onto the clamp bottoms of the tower speakers.
Step 4: These speakers are not too heavy but we recommend that you have a friend help you by holding the speaker/enclosure up while you insert and screw down the large M6 bolts. Or alternatively use a large tie-wrap to”hang”the tower speaker while you insert and screw down the large 5mm bolts.
Step 5: Tighten the M6 clamp bolts down, but DO NOT over tighten as this will -strip the clamps making them useless.

Step 6: If need be,.. rotate the speakers for best dispersion. This is easily done by locating the 3mm Allen set screw on the side of the mounting clamp. Once located release it using the included M3 Allen wrench so that you may rotate the speaker/enclosure to the desired angle. Once there…lock the Allen down.
NOTE: Blue Loctite is recommended for ALL Allen head bolts/hardware.
Step 7: During the mounting process, you should have located the spot to drill your tower bar for the 6 conductor wire (Speaker and RGB lighting wiring) insertion. Or .. NOT (See Tie-wrap solution below)
Step 8: Drill a 3/8″ hole in the pipe and de-burr the hole so there is no sharp edges. It is also recommended to install a rubber grommet in this hole to protect the wire.

Step 9: Slide the wire jacket down thru the hole with grommet and wire. Snake the wire down to the bottom of the tower tube in a location where 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.
