INSTALLATION TIPS:
•Always wear protective eyewear when using any tools.
•Turn off all audio components and other electrical devices before you start. Disconnect the negative (–) lead from your battery.
•Keep speakers in their package until final installation. When moving a speaker, always rest it with the cone or dome facing up. Never use force to install any speaker.
•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.
•At the installation sites, locate and make a note of all fuel lines 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 saw.
•The stainless-steel hardware provided with your JBL marine speakers has been chosen to resist rust and corrosion.
