Installation
Considerations
Before
beginning
any
installation,
follow
these
simple
rules:
1.
Be
sure
to
carefully
read
and
understand
the
instructions
before
attempting
to
install
these
speakers.
2.
For
safety,
disconnect
the
negative
lead
from
the
battery
prior
to
beginning
the
installation.
3.
For
easier
assembly,
we
suggest
you
run
all
wires
prior
to
mounting
your
speakers
in
place.
4.
Use
high
quality
connectors
for
a
reliable
installation
and
to
minimize
signal
or
power
loss.
5.
Think
before
you
drill!
Be
careful
not
to
cut
or
drill
into
gas
tanks,
fuel
lines,
brake
or
hydraulic
lines,
vacuum
lines
or
electrical
wiring
when
working
on
any
vehicle
.
If
installation
in
a
boat,
take
care
not
to
cut
or
drill
through
the
main
hull.
6.
Never
run
wires
underneath
the
vehicle.
Running
the
wires
inside
the
vehicle
or
hull
area
provides
the
best
protection
.
7.
Avoid
running
wires
over
or
through
sharp
edges.
Use
rubber
or
plastic
grommets
to
protect
any
wires
routed
through
metal,
especially
the
firewall.
Mounting

1.
Determine
where

Be

that
the
mounting
location
is
deep
enough
for
the

fit;
if
mounting
in
a
door,
operate
all
functions
(windows,
locks,

no
obstruction.
2.
Refer
to
the
