The placement of the speakers will vary from vehicle to vehicle. Most vehicles have factory
cut-outs on the rear window deck behind the rear seat, in the front doors, or front kick panels.
Before permanently installing the RS400 speakers in your car, connect the wires to the
speakers according to your audio systems installation manual in the approximate location
you will install them. If you are satisfied with the location, proceed with the permanent
installation.
Before you install the RS400 speakers, you must make sure
you have enough depth/space behind the mounting surface.
You do not want the back of the speaker magnet to touch any
part of your vehicle or interfere with the operation or function of
any component in your vehicle. (i.e. windows or trunk lid)
You should only mount your speakers in factory precut holes. We DO NOT
recommend that you cut holes for mounting the speakers. If there are no
factory precut holes consider having the speakers professionally installed.
1. Connect speaker wires.
2. Slip the spring nut(s) (provided)
into place and align the holes.
3. Place the speaker grill on the
speaker, lining up the hole for
the screws .
4. Screw the speaker and grill into
place with screws (provided).
The RS400 may be installed in a speaker
enclosure. Use the supplied template to
check if the holes in the enclosure matches
the speaker.
All auto audio components must be securely mounted. Driving styles and
road conditions such as sudden stops, sharp curves, and bumpy roads
may cause unsecured items to move about the vehicle, causing physical
injuries to vehicle occupants and/or vehicle damage.
When connecting the speaker wires to your speakers in a new installation, you should follow
the wiring instructions from your audio system’s manufacturer. For most systems the positive
wire attaches to the positive speaker terminal and the negative wire attaches to the negative
terminal.
Use a knife or wire strippers to strip
the insulation off of the last half inch
of the individual wires. Twist the
strands of wire together.
Press on terminal until holes line up. Insert the wires as
shown. Maintain proper polarity by attaching the Positive
Wire(+) to Positive Terminal(+). And attaching the Negative
Wire(-) to Negative Terminal(-)
