Protect Your Hearing!
We value you as a long-term customer.
For that reason, we urge you to practice
restraint in the operation of this product
so as to not damage your hearing and
that of others in your vehicle. Studies
have shown that continuous exposure
to high sound pressure level can lead
to permanent (irreparable) hearing loss.
Mobile sound systems are capable of
producing such high sound pressure
levels. Please limit your continuous
exposure at high volumes. While driving,
operate your audio system in a manner
that still allows you to hear necessary
noises to operate your vehicle/vessel
safely (horns, sirens, etc.).

Safety Considerations
• Install this product in a dry, wellventilated location that does not
interfere with your factory-installed
systems. If a dry environment is not
available, a location that is not exposed
to heavy splashing may be used.
• While this product is designed to be
water-resistant, it should never be
submerged under water or subjected to
high-pressure water spray.
• Do not mount this product in an engine
compartment or areas of extreme heat.
Areas exposed to a heater or hot air
should also be avoided.
• Securely mount this product so that it
does not come loose in the event of a
collision, sudden jolt or as a result of
repeated vibrations during normal use.
• Check before drilling to make sure that
you will not be drilling into an exterior
panel/hull, fuel tank, gas/brake line,
wiring harness or other vital system.
• Do not run system wiring outside or
underneath the vehicle/vessel. This is
an extremely dangerous practice, which
can result in severe damage/injury.
• Protect all system wires from
sharp edges and wear by carefully
routing them, tying them down and
using grommets and loom where
appropriate. Secure all wiring using
cable ties or wire clamps, as needed.
• Do not replace the power wire fuse
with one of a different value.
Never bypass the fuse.
• Never make power connections with a
“live” wire. Failure to make safe, tight,
high-integrity connections can result in
fire and extensive damage.
Installation Applications
This product is designed for operation
with 12 volt, negative-ground electrical
systems. Using this product in systems
with positive ground and/or voltages
other than 12 volts may result in
damage to the product and will void the

MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION
The diagram below shows a typical
mounting procedure into a fiberglass
panel. Always follow proper safety
procedures. Wear eye-protection
at all times with a dust mask and
gloves when cutting. A mounting
template is included to aid in
measuring and marking the mounting
surface before cutting or drilling.
1. Press along the perforation to
remove the center section of the
mounting template. (Discard the
center section.) The template can
be used to verify there is sufficient
flat surface area for mounting
and as a guide for cutting the
opening. Tape the template
to the mounting location and
mark the surface for cutting the
opening and drilling pilot holes.
2. Use a jigsaw or rotary tool to cut an
opening in the mounting surface.
If necessary, use a file or sandpaper
to adjust the opening for proper
fitment and smooth the edges.
3. Place the MM100s-BE into the
opening and check that the
mounting holes remain aligned
with the pilot hole marks taken
from the template. If not, adjust
and mark new holes as necessary.
4. Remove the MM100s-BE and drill
four (4) pilot holes in the mounting
surface at the pilot hole marks.
5. Peel the adhesive backing
from the mounting gasket and
affix to the rear of the bezel.
Connect all wiring and place the
MM100s-BE into the opening.
6. Secure the MM100s-BE using the
four (4) stainless steel screws.
Press the trim ring onto the
front of the MM100s-BE.
Before drilling or cutting, make
sure there is adequate space behind
the mounting surface to fit the
MM100s-BE, including its
wire harness.
