DS SERIES INSTALLATION

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).
