INSTALLATION

Installation Guidelines

The following installation instructions are very basic. If you feel
unsure about personally installing this speaker system, We
recommend aquiring the services of a professional car audio
installation center.

Before installation, please follow the following rules:

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, especially the
firewall.

Enclosure Guidelines

To achieve the best possible sound from this subwoofer enclosure, We recommend
aquiring the services of a professional car audio installation center.

If you feel confident in your ability to install this product without the assistance of a
professional, please read this section thoroughly. We have provided a number of
placement recommendations and installation tips to assist you. Keep in mind these
are provided as a guideline and you may find that other placements specific to your
vehicle may provide better results.

• Make sure all moving parts and factory electrical wires are out of the way and will not

interfere after installation.

• Ensure the wire is of sufficient length to avoid pulling or stretching. This is even more

important if the wires will be run under or through the factory interior.

• Use electrical tape and wire ties to ensure all wires are properly secured.

• Avoid installing speakers or electronics where they can be subject to moisture.

• Ensure the speaker wires are connected using correct polarity. The positive polarity is

marked by a (+) sign. Incorrectly connected subwoofers will result in limited bass
output.

• Speaker wire should be isolated from the vehicle’s electrical system to avoid noise

being picked up by the amplifiers.

• We recommend using 14 gauge or larger sized speaker wire to ensure your subwoofer

receives the full power output of your amplifier.

• Remember to listen responsibly and respect your ears. Being exposed to sounds over

125dB for even short periods of time can create permanent hearing loss!
