Installation
The following installation instructions are very basic. If you feel unsure about personally installing this speaker system, Dual recommends acquiring the services of a professional car audio installation center.
Before installation, please follow these guidelines:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install this product.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
3. For easier assembly: If additional wiring is required, we recommend running all wires prior to mounting your speaker in place.
4. Use the highest quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.
5. Use caution before you drill or cut! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.
6. Never run speaker wires underneath your vehicle. Running speaker wires inside the vehicle provides the best protection from exhaust heat and environmental elements.
7. Avoid running wires over, near, or through sharp edged surfaces. We suggest you also use rubber grommets to protect any wires routed through metal.
8. When running the speaker cable from the amplifier, avoid running it near sources of high current (i.e. wiring harnesses, battery cables).

Mounting
1. Determine where the speakers will
be mounted. Make sure the area is large enough for the speaker to mount evenly. Also ensure the mounting location is deep enough for the speaker to fit.
2. Refer to the specification chart to
determine the proper diameter hole to cut for your speaker model.
3. If needed, use the grille as a
template to mark the locations for the mounting screws. Drill the holes with a 3/32" bit.
4. Be sure to observe proper polarity
when connecting the wires. The speaker's positive terminal is indicated with a "+" symbol.
5. Fit the speaker to the hole cut-out.
Mount the speaker using the supplied screws. If the speaker grill is to be used, insert 4 screws into the grill holes and then mount the speaker.
