General
1. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to
beginning the installation.
2. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside
the vehicle provides the best protection.
3. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or
plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal.
4. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from electrical sources (other
than the amplifier) i.e.., power cables, electronic fuel pumps,
vehicle computers, and other potential noise sources.
5. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from areas of extreme heat or
moisture.
6. Make sure there is an area large enough of the speaker to mount.
Warning! Failure to do this can cause damage to the speaker if the
speaker frame is bent during installation.
7. Check to see that the location is deep enough for the speaker(s) and
the location does not interfere with the normal operation of the
vehicle.
8. When mounting the speaker(s) in the door of a vehicle, make sure
the speaker(s) do not interfere with either the door or window
operation.
9. When mounting the speaker(s) on the rear deck of the vehicle, check
the operation of the rear hatch or trunk lid. Make sure the torsion bars
and other moving parts are not obstructed by the speaker(s) instal-
lation.
• Please refer to the Specifications section of this manual for proper
mounting diameter and depth of the speaker(s).
