MOUNTING
1.
Determine where the speakers will
be
mounted. Ensure
an
area large enough for the speaker to
mount evenly. Be sure that the mounting location
is
deep enough for the speaker to fit; if mounting
in
a door, operate all functions (windows, locks, etc.) through their entire operating range to ensure
there
is
no obstruction.
2.
Refer to the specification chart to determine the proper diameter hole to cut for your speaker
model.
3.
Using the grille (not included
in
most models) as a template, mark the locations for the mounting screws.
Drill the holes with a 1/8" bit.
4.
Feed the speaker wires through the cutout and connect to the speaker terminals.
Be
sure to observe
proper polarity when connecting the wires.The speaker's positive terminal is indicated with a "+".
5.
Fit the speaker to the cutout. Fit the grille over the speaker (Where applicable). Mount them using the
enclosed screws.
6.
Tighten the screws until the speaker and
is
snug
in
place to prevent rattling. Do not
overtighten the screws.
