are rated for protection from the front of the speaker. Water
exposure and damage to the rear of the speaker voids the
warranty.
You must turn off the audio system before making any
connections to the stereo, amplifier, or speakers. Failure to do
so could result in permanent damage to the audio system.
You should protect all terminals and connections from grounding
and from each other. Failure to do so could result in permanent
damage to the audio system and void the product warranty.
When selecting a mounting location for the speakers, observe
these considerations:

clearance for the mounting depth of the speakers as
specified in the product specifications.
• You must select a mounting location where the panel
thickness is not thinner or thicker than specified in the
product specifications.
• You should select a flat mounting surface for the best seal.
• You should protect the speaker wires from sharp objects and
always use rubber grommets when wiring through panels.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, you should
not mount the speakers closer to a compass than the
compass-safe distance value listed in the product
specifications.
Selecting the correct mounting location optimizes the
performance of each speaker. FUSION
