  • Xmax specifications are derived via the one-way voice coil overhang method with no correction factors applied.
    • Efficiency (1W/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer’s output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other subwoofers to determine which one is “louder”!

Due to ongoing product development, all specifications are subject to change without notice.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLING

  • Check with your local waterway authority for any regulations regarding the use of accent/speaker lighting on your vessel.
  • Turn off the audio system. It is also advisable to disconnect your battery system whenever performing installation work.
  • Before cutting, drilling, or inserting any screw, check clearances on both sides of the planned mounting surface. Also check for any potential obstacles, such as wiring harnesses, fuel lines, hydraulic lines, etc. Check both sides of the vessel before cutting any holes.
  • If you are running cables through bulkheads, drill holes for the cable and use a urethane or plastic grommet to protect the wire from chafing in the hole. Make sure that the cables will clear any mechanical devices in the boat and secure them with wire ties.
  • Wear protective eyewear at all times and a dust mask and gloves when drilling or cutting.

CAUTION
When installing speakers in your vessel, it is extremely important to secure them firmly. This applies not only to the speakers themselves but also to any structure they are mounted to. If not firmly attached, the speakers can become dangerous projectiles in a collision. Please review the mounting information carefully and use the supplied marine-grade hardware to mount this product.

WARNING
While these speakers are designed to be water and spray-resistant, they are not designed to be submerged or to
withstand high-pressure water spray. Do not install on submersibles, personal watercraft, or any other vessel likely to be underwater at any time. Please exercise care when washing your boat to avoid damaging your speaker. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or cleaning agents to prevent damage to the speaker’s finish that will not be covered under warranty. Wash with mild soap and rinse with fresh water only.

CAUTION
Prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels in excess of 100dB can cause permanent hearing loss. This high-performance speaker can exceed this level. Please exercise restraint in its operation in order to preserve your ability to enjoy its fidelity.

WARNING
It is absolutely vital that your coaxial speaker system is connected as shown in this manual. Failure to connect the system as shown will result in damage to your speakers which is NOT covered under warranty. Do not substitute different crossover networks.
