Important Safety Information
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
This device must be installed according to these instructions.
Disconnect the vehicle's or vessel's power supply before
beginning to install this device.
Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100 dBA
may cause permanent hearing loss. The volume is typically too
loud if you cannot hear people speaking around you. Limit the
amount of time you listen at high volume. If you experience
ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have
your hearing checked.
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles,
ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or
sanding.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
It is strongly recommended that you have your audio system
installed by a professional installer to ensure optimum
performance.
You must read all installation instructions before beginning the
installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, go

Speaker Wiring
When connecting the speakers to your stereo, observe these
considerations.
• Speaker wire is not included with the speakers. You should
use the recommended speaker wire to connect the speakers
to the stereo or amplifier
page 1).
• You should make all wiring connections using solder and
heat-shrink tubing (not included). You should not use crimp
connectors because of the small hole needed to route the
speaker and RGB wires.
• You can use this table to identify the polarity of the leads on
the speaker.

Speaker Wire Gauge Guide
You should use 16 AWG (1.31 mm
installations. You can use this table to determine if you need to
use a larger gauge of wire. This table accounts for terminal
connection resistance.
NOTE: If you are using aluminum or tinned wire, you should use
a wire two gauges larger than the gauge listed below to
compensate for a potential voltage drop due to the wire material.
