INITIAL SETUP

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS:

  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 “WaterProor connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal
    or 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 installing 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, especially the tower.

  8. Make sure that the mounting clamp or “L” bracket are tight before leaving the dock.

  9. Decide eariy what type of LED lighting you want (if any) and wire accordingly
    ( NOTE : if you want “Dancing Lighr look to the WiFi or RF or BT remote controlled LED light box. The easy way to have lighting … YOUR way!)

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION:

  • An Electric Drill With Bits
  • Allen I Hex Key I Wrench Set
  • Philips Head And Standard Screw Drivers
  • Wire Strippers
  • Crimping Tool
  • Vom (Electronic Volt Ohm Meter)
  • Heat Shrink Tubing And Heat Gun
  • Soldering Iron
  • Electronic (Rosen Not Acid Core) solder

NOTE: The stainless steel hardware supplied with your speakers has been chosen to resist rust and corrosion. If the particular hardware supplied will not work for your installation purposes, please be sure to use only appropriate marine grade (stainless steel)mounting hardware.

INSTALLATION

BEGINNING MOUNTING (FLAT CLAMP INSTALL)

  • Step 1: Remove pod tower speakers from the packaging and ALL hardware.
  • Step 2: Packaging include two option clamps, choose Flat clamps install.
  • Step 3: 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 4: Using the supplied 2.Smm hex wrench spin out the 4-MS no head screw about 5mm, that hold the round flat rotary base.
  • Step 5: Take out the NBR PAD, use it as a template to mark the location of punching and installation.
  • Step 6: Use accessory screw, nut, washer to fix the round flat base with nbr pad .

FIG 6 BEGINNING MOUNTING

  • Step 7: Weld speaker wires to amplifier, RGB light wires to 12V battery or RGB controller
    connection (Attention should be paid to protect solder joints with heat shrinkable bushing or insulating adhesive tape).

FIG 7 BEGINNING MOUNTING

  • Step 8: Put tower pod speaker mounted on flat hook base, adjust speaker angle, Using the
    2.5mm hex wrench spin in (Clockwise rotation) lock four MS no head screw.

  • Step 9: Use the vacuum sucker to rotate the back logo to your preferred location

BEGINNING MOUNTING (MAST CLAMP INSTALL)

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