INTRODUCTION
WARNING!
Loud music can cause permanent damage to your
hearing. We recommend listening to your system
at moderate volume levels while driving your
boat. Infinity accepts no liabilities for hearing loss,
bodily harm or property damage resulting from
the use or misuse of our products.
IMPORTANT
To get the best performance from your Infinity
Marine Audio products, we strongly recommend
that installation be entrusted to a qualified
professional. Although these instructions explain
how to install the Wakeboard Tower System
in a general sense, they do not show specific
installation methods that may be required for
your particular application. If you do not have
the necessary tools or experience, do not attempt
the installation yourself. Instead, please ask your
authorized Infinity car/marine audio dealer about
professional installation.
INSTALLATION WARNINGS
•
Always wear protective eyewear when using
tools.
•
Turn off the audio system and other electrical
devices before you start. Disconnect the (–)
negative lead from your boat’s battery and/or
turn off the battery switch if you have a
multiple battery setup.
•
Check clearances on both sides of a planned
mounting surface before drilling any holes or
installing any screws. Remember that the
screws can extend behind the surface and
could puncture the boat’s hull.
•
At the installation sites, locate and make a note
of all fuel lines, steering cables, and electrical
wiring. Use extreme caution when cutting or
drilling in and around these areas.
•
Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility
knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl to
keep material from snagging in a drill bit or
mounting screws.
•
When routing cables, keep input-signal cables
away from power cables and speaker wires.
•
When making connections, make certain they
are secure and properly insulated.
DESCRIPTION
•
The 6000m Wakeboard Tower Speakers are
constructed of weatherproof cast-polymer,
and have passed our most stringent tests to
ensure that you get only the best quality
product. The 6100m uses two active 6-1/2"
polypropylene speakers with a 1" CMMD
tweeter. The cast-aluminum mounting
brackets are adjustable to fit almost any
commonly available tube (1-1/2" to 2-1/2")
and can be configured for surface mounting.
•
The 6100m Wakeboard Tower System is an
all-in-one speaker system for your boat. The
6100m includes two all-weather speaker pods
(6000m) with all of the mounting hardware,
and a dedicated 2-channel amplifier with an
integrated microphone and controls. This
system allows you to listen to music while
riding, and allows the driver to communicate
back to the rider.
•
The 2100m Marine Amplifier is a stand-alone
amplifier that can be used with or without the
6100m system. This amplifier can be used to
supply power to interior speakers or additional
6000m wakeboard tower speakers.
™
CLEANING AND PRECAUTIONS
Although the 6000m speaker pods are waterand salt-spray-resistant, keep in mind that the
speakers are exposed and may be damaged
during washdowns. Use only a damp cloth to
wipe the speakers down. DO NOT spray water,
or any liquids, directly at the speakers. High
pressure may damage the speakers, especially
the tweeters. The 6100m and 2100m amplifiers
should be installed where they will not come in
contact with water or other liquids. The amplifier
could be damaged during washdowns.

MOUNTING THE 6000M SPEAKERS
CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
The 6000m speakers use a unique mounting
bracket that works with various tube sizes
and flat mounting surfaces. The speakers also
incorporate a swivel feature that allows you to
easily turn them once they’re mounted.
TUBE-MOUNTING
The 6000m speakers can accommodate tower
tubes that range from 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" in diameter. The top of the mounting bracket is made with
two cutouts that allow the bracket to easily
adjust to the tower. Simply rotate the bracket
90 degrees, depending on your application.
Position the bottom bracket with the speaker
and top bracket in place on the tower. Install
the supplied 2-1/2" bolts through the top bracket
and tighten in place using a 5mm hex-key
wrench. While tightening the bolts, keep the
bottom bracket parallel with the top bracket at
all four corners of the bracket. Take care not to
overtighten the bracket. See Figure 1. Once the
speakers are in position, install the set screws in
the bottom of the bracket to keep the speakers
from twisting out of place. See Figure 2.
NOTE: There are four pre-tapped mounting
holes (1/4-20 thread) on the top of each
speaker bracket that can be used for mounting
accessories, such as lighting. See Figure 3.
Figure 1. Clamping the brackets down.
SURFACE-MOUNTING
Some towers may have a flat support panel used
to mount accessories such as lighting, board
holders, radars, antennas or other accessories.
If you wish to mount the 6000m speakers to this
panel, use the 2-1/2" screws to clamp the bracket
together, as shown in Figure 3. Using the four
mounting holes in the top of the bracket, align
the speaker with holes on the mounting plate on
the tower. If there are no holes in the panel, use
the bracket as a template to mark the locations
of the four holes. Drill four new holes in the
panel. DO NOT drill through the holes in the
bracket. Insert the 1-1/4" bolts using the large
washers and tighten using a 5mm hex-key
wrench.
Figure 3. Surface-mounting.
SWIVELING THE SPEAKERS
Located at the base of the speaker mounting
bracket is a swivel-lock pin. Pull this pin up
in order to swivel the speaker 270 degrees at
45-degree intervals. Once you have the speaker
near the position that you want, release the
pin and rotate the speaker until the pin locks
in place.
Figure 4. Pulling the swivel-lock pin up.
Figure 5. Swiveling the speaker.
Connect the speakers to an amplifier using
the supplied speaker wires. The weatherproof
connectors allow for quick connection and
disconnection of the wires when installing
and removing the speakers.
NOTE: The white-striped wire is the positive
connection.
Run the wires along the tube and secure in
place with plastic zip ties. If the tube has wire
holes available, run the speaker wires through
the tower tubes to the amplifier. Check to make
sure the wires will not come in contact with
sharp edges or metal that can damage the wires
over time.
NOTE: The connectors are keyed to line up
properly. Check for proper alignment before
connecting.
