BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLING

• Check with your local waterway authority for any regulations regarding the

use of accent/speaker lighting on your vessel.

• Turn off the audio system. It is also advisable to disconnect your battery

system whenever performing installation work.

• Before cutting, drilling or inserting any screw, check clearances on both

sides of the planned mounting surface. Also check for any potential

obstacles, such as wiring harnesses, fuel lines, hydraulic lines, etc. Check

both sides of the vessel before cutting any holes.

• If you are running cables through bulkheads, drills holes for the cable and

use a urethane or plastic grommet to protect the wire from chafing in the

hole. Make sure that the cables will clear any mechanical devices in the boat

and secure them with wire ties.

• Wear protective eyewear at all times and a dust mask and gloves when

drilling or cutting.

ENCLOSURE SPECIFICATIONS

The MX10IB3 subwoofer is designed for infinite-baffle operation with a large volume of air behind it (at least 2 cu. ft. / 56.6 l).

For best performance, the installation location/compartment must remain unoccupied and free of boating equipment

(safety gear, life jackets, etc.). If you decide to build a dedicated enclosure, you may refer to the suggested design below.

NOTE: The MX10IB3 Marine Subwoofer is not recommended for use in Ported Enclosures.

The enclosure recommendations listed are external dimensions which assume the use of 3/4" (19mm) thick material. If you are using 5/8" (16mm) thick material, subtract 1/4"

(6.5mm) from each dimension. Do not use any material with a thickness of less than 5/8" (16mm) as this may compromise the rigidity of the enclosure.

All enclosure volumes listed are net internal volumes! Box volume displacement, port displacement and brace displacement must be added to obtain the final gross internal

volume. All enclosure dimensions listed have already taken this into account.
