SETUP
READ BEFORE INSTALLATION
- 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 in hand- Drill, Allen set, Crimp, Soldering iron, Wire Strippers, Heat-shrink, etc.
- Use high quality “Waterproof’ 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 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.
- Never run wires near fuel lines or power (if possible). Running the wires inside the hull or car 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 clamp or “L” bracket are tight before leaving the dock.
- 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
BEGINNING 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 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 mounting tube bottom align 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. 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. 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.

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.
