Installation

Location

If you are installing the RS460 speakers to upgrade/replace your existing speakers, remove the existing speakers from your vehicle, disconnect the speaker wires and mark the polarity. Place the RS460 speakers in the location you selected in your vehicle and connect the existing speaker wires. Make sure to keep the polarity of the speakers and wires correct (positive wire to positive speaker terminal and negative or ground wire to negative terminal)

Speaker Depth

Before you install your speakers you must make sure you

e enough depth/space behind the mounting surface.

hav 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. (ie. windows or trunk lid)

Before mounting the speakers in a precut hole, use the template to check that the holes for the speaker and the screws will line up correctly.

Mounting

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 the speaker wires to the speaker. Maintain polarity by connecting the positive wire to the positive speaker terminal, and the negative wire to negative speaker terminal.

2. Slip the supplied spring nuts into place and align the holes.
