· Please read the User Guide before installation and use.
· SoundExtreme Speakers have integrated addressable LEDs.
The LEDs must be controlled by a SoundExtreme, LEDCast-
enabled controller or radio (ExtremeControllers and Marine
Radios sold separately).
· Important: Do NOT make modifications to the speaker LED
cable connectors. Do NOT connect this product to any other
manufacturers’ LED controller. Connecting this product to any
other manufacturer’s product may cause permanent damage
to the product and shall VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
· BEFORE installation, disconnect any and all negative leads
from the battery’s negative (-) terminal. Disconnect the stereo’s
lead to prevent damage to the unit, fire, and/or possible injury.
· BEFORE wiring and completing connections, you MUST turn
o the Audio System and the LED Lighting Controller BEFORE
making any connections to the source units. Failure to do so
could result in permanent damage to the Audio System, the
controller, or the 8″ Wired Speakers.
· When using the Extension Cable and/or connecting two wires,
make sure to seal the connection either by using electrical
tape or heat shrink tubing (not included). Failing to do this may
result in long-term corrosion on the connection and cause a
premature malfunction.
CAUTION: After taking the product out of the polyethylene bag,
be sure to dispose of the polyethylene bag out of the reach of
children. Children may play with the bag, which could result in
the child’s suffocation.
Recommendation: If you are not familiar with all of the vehicle’s
battery or ignition switch connections, consult your vehicle’s
manual or a technician. Incorrect connections to your vehicle’s
battery or ignition signal terminal may cause damage to your
speaker and your vehicle.

Audio and LED Control Connectors and Cables
Speaker Audio and LED Lighting Control Connection Jacks
The 8″ Wired Speaker has 2 input Connection Jacks on the back.
1. 2-pin Audio Input (Positive + and Negative -) to connect to an
external Audio Source (audio power amplifier or radio).
2. 3-pin LED Lighting Control Input to connect to an external LED
Lighting Controller.
Cables
Your package includes two connector cables and LED
extension cables.
1. Audio Connector Cable
· A 2-pin connector is on one end, and on the other end are two bare
wires for speaker audio input (Positive + and Negative -).
2. LED Lighting Control Connector Cable
· A 3-pin, round Aviation Connector is on one end, and on the other
end is a 3-pin LED connector.
3. LED Extension Cables — Depending on the distances between
your speakers and the LED Lighting Controller, you may need to
use the provided LED Extension Cables.
Note: Speaker audio extension cables are NOT included in the
package. Obtain high-quality, marine speaker cables with your
required length to minimize signal or power loss. 16 AWG speaker
cable is recommended. When you connect the cables, make sure
the connections are sealed (e.g., with electrical tape or heat-
shrink tubing) to prevent potential wire corrosion due to water or
moisture penetration.
· Two LED Extension Cables and one Y Splitter Cable are
included. The two LED Extension Cables are used to extend the

connection from your speakers’ LED inputs to an LED Lighting
Controller (such as the ExtremeController, sold separately). You
have two wiring options:
i. Connect each speaker’s LED Cable directly to an output
jack on the ExtremeController with an Extension Cable.
This will allow you to change the Light Modes on the two
speakers independently.
ii. Connect each speaker’s LED Cable to an Extension Cable,
then connect the two extension cables to the Y Splitter and
then connect the Splitter to ONE control output jack on the
ExtremeController. This will allow you to change the Light
Modes on both speakers simultaneously.
· For the LED Extension Cable, connect the 3-pin male connector
on the LED Lighting Control Connector Cable to the 3-pin female
connector on the included LED Extension Cable. Align the
arrow on both connectors, push-in, and screw the nut cap on the
female connector.
· Make sure the cable does NOT touch any moving parts on the
vehicle. If the cable is longer than required, do NOT cut the cable
and reconnect. Instead, wrap the extra length on your vehicle and
fasten the cable with zip ties. Please ensure the cable does NOT
touch or drag on the ground AND is safely secured to prevent it
from coming into contact with any moving parts.

Installation and Wiring
Before Installation
1. Speaker Grill Color Selection
· Your package includes 2 sets of grill covers: one white set and one
black set. Choose your favorite set for the installation.
· Fit the selected grills over each speaker. Use the 4 included
screws (3x10mm) to fasten the grills onto each speaker. Do NOT
over tighten the screws.
2. Mounting considerations
· When you plan the speaker installation, please ensure that the
mounting surface is flat for best sealing and has sucient depth
and air space behind the speaker.
· Refer to the speaker dimensions in the Specifications to determine
the proper diameter hole to cut out and ensure that the correct and
appropriate opening is provided for the speakers.
· A mounting template for each speaker is included with
the packaging.

Installation and Wiring
CAUTION: Be sure to use the stainless-steel screws that are
provided. The stainless-steel screws are intended to assist in
preventing corrosion.
3. Wiring considerations
· For safety, disconnect any and all negative leads from the battery
prior to beginning the installation.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that you run all wires
prior to putting your speakers in place.
Mounting and Wirings
RECOMMENDATIONS:
· If you are not familiar with all of the vehicle’s battery or ignition
switch connections, consult your vehicle’s manual or a technician.
Incorrect connections to your vehicle’s battery or ignition signal
terminal may cause damage to your speaker and your vehicle.
· If you are not familiar with cutting mounting holes into your vehicle,
consult a technician.
1. When cutting a mounting hole for your speaker, you may use
the included template. Secure it to the selected location. When
placing the template on the mounting surface, orient the template
so the “Top” mark on the template is on the top. This is to ensure
that the SoundExtreme logo on the front of the speaker is
orientated properly.
2. Draw the cutting line along the inner circle of the template. Mark
the screw hole locations.
3. Drill a pilot hole in each of the 6-screw-hole locations and cut the
hole for mounting the speaker.

6. While holding the speaker firmly in its mounting location, mount the
speaker with the included 6 screws.
7. Tighten the screws until the speaker is snugly in place to prevent
rattling. Do NOT over tighten the screws.
Connecting your Speakers to an Audio Source
and LED Light Controller
You MUST turn o the Audio System and LED Lighting Controller
before making any connections to these Source Units. Failure to
do so could result in permanent damage to the Audio System, the
controller, or the wired speakers.
Speaker Audio Connections
1. For stereo sound output, connect the speaker on your left to the
left channel audio output, and the speaker on your right to the right
channel audio output on your audio power amplifier.

2. For each speaker, connect the Speaker + (positive) and
Speaker – (negative) leads on your audio extension cable to the
corresponding terminals on your audio power amplifier.
LED Lighting Control Connections
1. Connect the 3-pin male connector on your LED Extension Cable
to the 3-pin female connector on the LEDCast enabled controller.
Align the arrow on both connectors, push-in, and screw the nut
cap on the female connector.
2. Make sure the cable does NOT touch any moving parts on the
vehicle. If the cable is longer than required, do NOT cut the cable
and reconnect. Instead, wrap the extra length on your vehicle and
fasten the cable with zip ties. Please ensure the cable does NOT
touch or drag on the ground AND is safely secured to prevent it
from coming into contact with any moving parts.
Installation and Wiring
Optional: If you want the LED Party Lights on both Wired Speakers
controlled by one ExtremeController LED lighting output, you can
attach the LED Extension Cables to each speaker and connect both
cables to the LED Extension Cable Splitter. Then connect the Splitter
to one ExtremeController LED lighting output.
