XNP - SBX SERIES INSTALLATION

Installation

Please Note: Some Full Range Speakers are most often used as direct
replacements for stock speakers and are shipped without grilles or grilles
may not be required. Parts of the following instructions may not apply to your
installation.

The installation instructions included here are basic. If you feel
unsure about installing the speaker system, Dual recommends
that you seek installation by a qualified auto
sound technician.

Before installation, please follow these rules:

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before
attempting to install the product.

2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning
the installation.

3. For easier assembly, we recommend that if additional wiring is required,
that you run 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.

8. Do not connect audio outputs from your amp or receiver to the Illuminite

inputs of the speakers. This WILL DAMAGE the LED bulbs and WILL void
your warranty.
