WARNING
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO DAMP OR MOISTURE - doing so may result in fire,
shock or damage to the product.
BEFORE WIRING DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
- failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury.
ENSURE GOOD AND CORRECT CONNECTIONS - failure to make the correct connections
may result in fire or damage to the product.
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL SO YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISE - failure
to do this may result in an accident. VIBE equipment is capable of producing sound levels
that can permanently damage your hearing. VIBE recommends caution when listening at high
volume. For safe and enjoyable listening the sound should be comfortable and clear without
distortion.
CAUTION
• Never connect any speaker lead to the car chassis. This can cause severe damage to your
speaker / car radio / amplifier.
• Before drilling or cutting any holes, investigate the layout of your vehicle thoroughly.
• Use caution when working near the fuel / hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.
• Observe the correct polarity when wiring, improper phasing may cause a loss of bass
response.
• Ensure that no moving parts catch on the speaker or grill (e.g. window or door handles, or
window glass inside the door)
INSTALLATION
• The quality of the installation will affect the system performance and reliability.
• Contact your nearest authorised VIBE dealer if you are unsure about the installation of this
product.
• Please mount this unit away from any potential hazards.
• Minimising the length of wires will provide higher audio output from the system.
• The speaker should be securely fastened to the mounting position using the screws pro-
vided.
• Pre drill your mounting holes using a drill and position with the template provided.
• Be sure to investigate your mounting area thoroughly for electrical wires, brake or fuel lines
or fuel tank to prevent causing any damage.
