SUB-BASS CONSIDERATIONS
MOUNTING SUGGESTIONS
To achieve the best possible performance from your speakers, please follow these recommendations:
1. Mount the speakers as far forward as possible. This allows for correct staging to take place.
2. Locate the speakers as far apart as possible, (left & right). This applies to speakers being installed in
the rear of the vehicle as well.
3. If possible, flush all drivers into the mounting surface
INSTALLATION
1. Leave the speakers in their protective packaging box until final installation.
2. After determining the best location for the drivers make sure that you are not going to be cutting any
wires.
3. Do not install the speaker until the area is thoroughly cleaned, vacuumed and no other work is being
done that could cause metallic particles to be attracted to the driver.
4. Use the driver to mark the mounting holes.
5. Remove the driver and place it in a safe place.
6. Drill the mounting holes and CLEAN UP! Be sure to vacuum inside of the door, etc…
7. All mounting gaskets are glued to the back of the speaker so you do not need to apply one.
8. Connect the wires from the head unit/amplifier to the speaker/crossover and double check polarity.
9. Mount the driver to the baffle using the supplied hardware.
10. Check polarity again on the speaker!
