Speaker Depth
If you are installing the RS460 speakers to upgrade/replace your existing speakers, re-
move the existing speakers from your vehicle, disconnect the speaker wires and mark
the polarity. Place the RS460 speakers in the location you selected in your vehicle and
connect the existing speaker wires. Make sure to keep the polarity of the speakers and
wires correct (positive wire to positive speaker terminal and negative or ground wire to
negative terminal)
Before you install your speakers you must make sure you
have enough depth/space behind the mounting surface.
You do not want the back of the speaker magnet to touch any part
of your vehicle, or interfere with the operation or function of any
component in your vehicle. (ie. windows or trunk lid)
Before mounting the speakers in a precut hole, use the template to check
that the holes for the speaker and the screws will line up correctly.
Location
You should only mount your speakers in factory precut holes. We
DO NOT recommend that you cut holes for mounting the speakers. If
there are no factory precut holes consider having the speakers pro-
fessionally installed.
Mounting
1. Connect the speaker wires to
the speaker. Maintain polarity by
connecting the positive wire to the
positive speaker terminal, and the
negative wire to negative speaker
terminal.
2. Slip the supplied spring nuts into
place and align the holes.
3. Screw the speaker into
place with screws (provided).
4. Firmly attach the speaker
grill cover.
What if there is no sound?
1. Your stereo may have a blown fuse. Replace fuse with the same amperage and
style.
2. You may have improper wiring. Refer to the wiring guide that came with your stereo/
amplifier. Check all wires for a secure connection.
What if the sound volume is low?
Your stereo may not have enough power, you may have to install an amplifier to
drive the speakers
Why do I have a whining noise coming from the speakers?
You may have poor filtering of your alternator. If that is the case then you
may need to add an alternator filter to the power lead.
Why do I have odd sounding noises coming from the speakers?
You may have corroded battery terminals and/or a weak battery. If the terminals on
the battery are corroded clean them, then check the sound. If the sound system is still
making noises check battery strength. If it is low, recharge or replace the battery.
Why does the speaker have sound coming from one channel only?
First make sure the balance control is set correctly. If the balance is set correctly
your stereo may be defective or the speaker may be defective. To troubleshoot
this problem you MUST change both positive and negative leads of each channel with
the positive and negative leads of the opposite channel, if the same speaker has no
sound then the speaker is no good, if the opposite speaker has no sound then your
stereo may be defective.
