CCX AND TCX MODELS •••
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
CCX models have woofers specifically designed
for infinite-baffle applications.
In plain english,
this means that they are designed to operate
without
an enclosure behind them. The bass
response
of the speaker will suffer significantly if
placed in a small enclosure.
TCX models are specifically engineered for
enclosed operation. This makes them ideal
for wakeboard tower systems
or other small
enclosure applications.
IJIWARNINGI
Do not attempt to remove the tweeter from
the grille or the grille from the speaker!
The tweeter is
permanently fixed to the grille
and its wiringis permanently attached to the
speakerframe. Attempting to remove the grille
or the tweeterwill damage the speaker and this
damage will
not be covered under warranty.

BEFORE
YOU
BEGIN
INSTALLING
• Turn offthe audio system.
It
is
also advisable
to disconnect your batterysystem 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 anyholes.
• Wear protective eyewear at all times
and
a dust
mask
and
gloves when drilling
or
cutting.
IJIWARNINGI
It
is absolutely
vital
that
your
coaxial
speaker
system is
connected
as
shown
in
this
manual.
Failure
to
connect
the
system
as
shown
will
result
in
damage
to
your
speakers which
is
NOT
covered
under
warranty.
Do
not
substitute
different
crossover networks!
Ill
cAUTION
I
Whilethese speakers
are
designed
to
bewater
and
spray resistant,
they
are
not
designed
to
be
submerged
or
to
withstandhigh-pressurewater
spray. Please exercise carewhen washingyour
boat
to
avoid damagingyourspeakers. Do
not
install
on
submersibles, personalwatercraft
or
any
othervessel likely
to
be
under
water
at
anytime.
Prolonged exposure
to
sound
pressurelevels
in
excess
of
1
OOdB
can cause
permanent
hearing
loss. This high-performance speaker can
exceed this level. Please exercise
restraint
in
its
operation
in
order
to
preserve
your
ability
to
enjoy its fidelity.
When
installing speakers
in
your
vessel,
it
is
extremely
important
to
secure
them
firmly. This
applies
not
only
to
the
speakers themselves,
but
also
any
structure
they
are
mounted
to.
If
not
firmly attached,
the
speakers
can
become
dangerous projectiles
in
a collision. Please
review
the
mounting
information
carefully
and
use
the
supplied marine-grade
hardware
to
mount
this product.

TWEETER
PROTECTION
The crossover networks are equippedwith
an advanced electronic tweeter protection circuit
designed to minimize the possibility
of
tweeter
failure. This electronic device monitors currentgoing
to the tweeter andwill disconnect the tweeter from
the signal when it senses overload. Should this occur
while listening to the audio system, simplyreduce the
volume
for
a
few
seconds
and
the protection circuit
will reset itselfautomatically.
INTERCHANGEABLE LOGO BADGE
(Sport-Grille
Models
Only)
Interchangeable Logo Badges for Sport
Grille model coaxial speakers are included to
further customize your installation. The design
of
the Sport Grille allows for the
JL
Audio logo
to be added
in
your choice
of
included colors
and
oriented
in
the
manner
that best suits
your installation.
NOTE: A left and a right badge
of
each
color
is
included. These two different
orientations ensure the
"JL
Audio, Logo will
read correctly wherever positioned (most
commonlythe 3:00 or 9:00 positioq).
Remove the adhesive backing from the badge
and
affix the badge to the grille using the small
positioning hole as a guide.
See
diagram below.

INSTALLING
THE
SPEAKERS
Once the mountinglocations have been
established,
run
speaker cables from the amplifier
outputs to the mounting locations.
If
you are
running
cables through bulkheads, drill 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.
If
you have any questions about the installation
or
setup
of
your coaxial speaker system not
covered in this manual, please contact your
dealer
or
technical support.

COAXIAL
INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
Diagrams A
&
B (page
7)
show typical
installation procedures into a fiberglass panel,
using the supplied hardware. Always follow proper
safety procedures. Use eye-protection at all times
and
a dust mask
and
gloves when cutting.
I) Choose a flat mounting surface that has
sufficient
depth
and
air space
behind
it to
accept the speaker.
2) Using a hole saw
or
jigsaw, cut a mounting
hole for your respective speaker model
(see
"Mounting Hole Diameter (Er' specifications,
page 2).
If
using a jigsaw, tracing the supplied
mounting template will provide you with
an
accurate line
on
which to cut.
3)
Run the speaker cable from the amplifier
output
to the mounting location.
4) Place the speaker in the hole (or use
the
mounting
template)
and
mark
the
screw
hole locations using a sharp, pointed tool.
5)
Remove the speaker
and
drill a pilot hole (see
Pilot Hole Recommendation chart,
page
7)
in each
of
the screw locations.
It
is also advisable to use a
hand
-driven
countersinktool
on
each hole to further
inhibit gel-coat cracking
of
fiberglass panels.
6) Connect the speaker wires from the
amplifier to the woofer connections.
See Wiring Diagram
on
page 5.
7) Place the speaker into
the
opening.
8) While holding the speaker firmly
in
its
mounting location, place the
#8
x
11/8-inch
Phillips pan-head
mounting
screws (with
washers)
and
snug in a criss-cross pattern,
then tighten with a
hand
screwdriver
in
a
criss-cross pattern.
Non-standard installations mayrequire different
hardware. Always use marine-grade, stainless-steel
fasteners to ensure a secure, reliable installation.
