Speaker Depth
If you are installing the R S525 speakers to upgrade/replace yo ur existing speakers, remove the existing speakers f rom your vehicle, disconnect the spe aker wires and mark
the polarity. Place the RS 525 speakers in the location you se lected in your vehicle and
connect the existin g speaker wires. Make sure to keep the pola rity of the speakers and
wires correct ( positive wire to positive spe aker terminal and ne gative or ground wire
to negative ter minal)
Before you ins tall your sp eakers you m ust make sure you
hav
e enough depth/space beh ind the mounting surf ace.
You do not want the back of the speaker magnet to touch any pa rt
of your vehicle, or interfere with the operation or function of any
component in your vehic le. (ie. windows or trunk lid)
Location
You should only mount your speaker s in factory precu t holes. We
DO NOT recommend that you cu t holes for mounting the speakers. If
there are no factor y precut holes con sider having the spea kers professionally installed.
Mounting
1. Connect the speaker wires to
the speaker. Maintain polar ity by
connecting the pos itive wire to the
positive speaker termi nal, and the
negative wire to negative sp eaker
terminal.
2. Slip the supplied sprin g nuts into
place and align the hol es.
3. Screw the speaker into
place with screws (provid ed).
4. Firmly attach the sp eaker
grill cover.
What if ther e is no sound?
1. Your stereo may have a blown fuse. Replace fuse with th e same amperage a nd
style.
2
. You may have improper wiring. Refer to the wir ing guide that came with your stereo/
amplifi er. Check all wires for a secure conn ection.
What if the so und volume is low?
Your stereo may not have enough power, you may have to install an am plifi er t
o
drive the speakers
Why do I have a whining noise coming from the speakers?
You may have poor fi lt
ering of your alternator. If that is the ca se then you
may need to add an alterna tor fi lter to the power lead.
Why do I have odd sou nding noises coming fro m the speakers?
You may have corroded battery ter minals and/or a weak bat tery. If the terminals on
the b
attery are cor roded clean them, then check the so und. If the sound system is still
making noises che ck battery strength. If it is low, recharge or r eplace the battery.
Why does the sp eaker have sound coming from o ne channel only?
First make sure the bala nce control is set correctly. If the balance is se t correctly
you
r stereo may be defective or th e speaker may be defective. To troubleshoot
this problem you MUST cha nge both positive and negative leads of each c hannel with
the positive and negati ve leads of the opposite cha nnel, if the same spea ker has no
sound then the speake r is no good, if the opposi te speaker has no sound th en your
stereo may be defective.
Maintain proper p olarity by attaching the
Positive Wire(+) to Positive Terminal(+)
and the Negative Wire(-) to Ne gative
Terminal(-)
