Owner's Manual

LED
WIRING CONSIDERATIONS
• Do not connect the speakers' LED lights to the
vessel's navigational lighting circuits.
• For short-circuit protection, install a
supplied
fuse holder onto EACH speaker's
BLUE
( +
12V)
LED power connection lead.
• Connect all
BLUE
(+12V)
leads together
(parallel)
and
connect to a switched
+12V
supply. Connect all
YELLOW
(GND) leads
together
and
connect to negative ground
or
to
the
NEGATIVE battery post. See
LED Wiring
on
page
7.
•
We recommend activating the speakers' LEDs
thru
a cabin/interior lighting circuit
that
supplies +
12V
via an existing switch.
If
an
existing switched circuit is not available, you
may install a dedicated toggle/rocker style
switch
that
will supply positive ( + 12V) power.
Fuse this connection according to how many
LED circuits you have (LED circuits x
150
rnA).
•
We recommend a
minimum
of
16AWG wire
size for each speaker's LED connection circuits.
INSTALLING
THE
SPEAKERS
Once
mounting locations have been
established,
run
speaker cables from the amplifier
outputs to the mounting locations. Now
is
also a
good time to
run
wires to each speaker location
for LED activation.
COAXIAL
INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
Diagram A (page
6)
shows typical installation
procedures into a fiberglass panel, using the
supplied hardware. Always follow proper safety
procedures.
Use
eye-protection at all times and a
dust mask
and
gloves when cutting.
1)
Choose a flat mounting surface that has
sufficient
depth
and
air
space behind it to
accept the speaker.
2)
Using
a hole saw
or
jigsaw, cut a mounting
hole for your respective speaker model
(see
"Mounting
Hole Diameter
(E)"
specifications,
page
2).
If
using a jigsaw, tracing the supplied
mounting template will provide you with an
accurate line
on
which to cut.
3)
Place
the speaker
in
the
hole (or use the
mounting
template)
and
mark
the screw hole
locations using a sharp, pointed tool.
4) Remove
the
speaker
and
drill a pilot hole (see
Pilot
Hole Recommendation chart
on
page
6)
in each
of
the
scr~w
locations.
It
is also
advisable to use a hand-driven countersink
tool
on
each hole to further inhibit gel-coat
cracking
of
fiberglass panels.
5)
Connect the speaker wires from the
amplifier to the woofer connections.
See Speaker Wiring Diagram
on
page
7.
6) Connect the LED activation wires to the
LED circuit leads.
See
LED Wiring
on
page
7.
8)
Place
the speaker
into
the
opening.
9) While holding the speaker firmly in its
mounting location, place the
#8
x 1 1/8-inch
Phillips
pan-head mounting screws (with
washers)
and
snug
in
a criss-cross pattern,
then tighten with a
hand
screwdriver in a
criss-cross pattern.
Non-standard installations may require different
hardware. Always use marine-grade, stainless-steel
fasteners to ensure a secure, reliable installation.
