2-16 Standard Configurations: Speaker
6. Finger-tighten the antenna cable plug’s collar onto the radio’s jack.
7. Give a final tug, by hand, to the collar, and retighten by hand as firmly as possible.
8. Slip the mini-UHF connector tool over the coaxial cable, using the gap between the tool’s legs
(see
Figure 2-24). Then, slide the tool up onto the plug’s knurled collar. Squeeze the two
straight legs of the tool firmly together between your thumb and index finger and turn
clockwise (as shown) to tighten the collar. It should take 1/4 turn or less. When you feel the
tool slipping on the collar, the connection has been properly tightened. The tool can also be
used to loosen a tight collar.
NOTE: DO NOT use pliers or any other device to grip the tightening tool. It has been designed to
allow you to achieve the proper torque on the collar without overtightening. Overtightening the
collar can damage the connector and the radio.

2.6 Speaker
The speaker kit includes a trunnion bracket that allows the speaker to be mounted in a variety of
ways. With the trunnion bracket, the speaker can mount permanently on the dashboard or in
accessible firewall areas. The trunnion allows the speaker to tilt for best operation. Mount the
speaker out of the way so that it will not be kicked or knocked around by the vehicle occupants.
Mount the speaker as follows:
1. Use the speaker mounting bracket as a template to mark the mounting hole locations.
2. Use the self-drilling screws provided to fasten the trunnion.
3. Attach the speaker and fasten to the trunnion with two wing screws.
4. Route the speaker wires under the carpet or floor covering, or behind the kick panels. Be sure
the wires are out of the way and will not be snagged and broken by the occupants of the
vehicle.
CAUTION: DO NOT ground the radio’s speaker leads. This system
has a floating speaker output (dc voltage on both leads); damage
to the audio circuit will result if either lead is grounded or if they are
shorted together.
