3.1.3 External Speaker
The external speaker kit includes a trunnion bracket that allows the speaker to be mounted in a
variety of ways. With the trunnion bracket, the external speaker can mount permanently on the
dashboard or in accessible firewall areas. The trunnion allows the external speaker to tilt for best
operation. Mount the external speaker out of the way so that it will not be kicked or knocked around
by the vehicle occupants. Mount the external speaker as follows:
1. Use the external 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 external 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.
Figure 3-6 External Speaker Mounting
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.
