Always consider consulting a professional audio installer

before installing new speakers. Many manufacturers locate

speakers behind interior panels that require special tools to

remove. Be careful and take your time.

If you are using the speaker wire supplied with your new

speakers make sure that you run the speaker wires only

through safe areas. Do not let speaker wire make contact with

metal edges or hot engine components.

The MBQuart NK2-116W is a NAUTIC series speaker designed for marine audio applications, offering a blend of robust construction and sound performance. This "Quick Start" Installation Guide provides essential information for basic setup, while more detailed specifications and system configuration advice are available on the mbquart.com website.

Function Description:

The MBQuart NK2-116W is a full-range speaker intended to reproduce audio signals in a marine environment. Its primary function is to convert electrical audio signals into sound waves, providing clear and defined music reproduction. The speaker is designed to be mounted in various locations within a boat, either as a replacement for existing speakers or as part of a new audio system installation. Its construction is tailored to withstand the challenges of a marine environment, including exposure to moisture and potentially harsh conditions.

Important Technical Specifications:

The guide provides key dimensions for the NK2-116W model, which are crucial for proper fit and installation:

A: 6.77 inches (172 mm) - Likely the overall diameter or width of the speaker.
B: 3.11 inches (79 mm) - Likely the mounting depth or the height of the speaker from the mounting surface.
C: 0.78 inches (20 mm) - Likely the protrusion height above the mounting surface or a specific flange dimension.
D: 3.42 inches (87 mm) - Likely the cutout diameter or the diameter of the mounting hole required.
E: 5.59 inches (142 mm) - Likely the magnet diameter or another significant rear dimension.

These dimensions are critical for installers to ensure the speaker fits into the intended location without interference and to confirm adequate clearance behind the mounting surface.

Usage Features:

Installation Flexibility: The speaker can be used to replace older or inferior speakers, utilizing existing mounting locations, or it can be installed in new custom locations. When creating a new location, installers must verify sufficient depth for the speaker to be mounted correctly.
Wiring Guidance: The manual emphasizes the importance of carefully selecting a route for speaker wires to prevent damage or short circuits. If existing wiring is used, it should be checked for good condition. If new wiring is installed, it must be routed through safe areas, avoiding contact with metal edges or hot engine components. The speaker features clearly marked positive and negative terminals for correct audio signal connection.
Secure Mounting: Once the speaker's fit and clearance are confirmed, it is secured into place with screws, ensuring a stable and reliable installation.
Marine Environment Suitability: While not explicitly detailed in the "Quick Start" guide, the "NAUTIC" series designation implies features designed for marine use, such as resistance to water, UV exposure, and corrosion, which are typical for speakers in this category.

Maintenance Features:

Professional Consultation: The guide strongly recommends consulting a professional audio installer, especially when dealing with interior panels that may require special tools for removal. This advice implicitly suggests that improper handling during installation could lead to damage, thus highlighting the importance of correct initial setup to minimize future maintenance issues.
