MN005720A01-AB Chapter 2: Standard Configurations • For 130 W operation, parallel the two 11 Ω speakers, each rated at 65 W minimum. Proper phasing of the two speakers is important when connecting two speakers in parallel, wire similar speaker terminals together to ensure maximum loudness and prevent "deadspots". For example, if the terminals are marked "1" and "2", connect the terminals marked "1" together and connect those wires to one speaker lead.
MN005720A01-AB Chapter 2: Standard Configurations NOTICE: For optimum radio performance, orient the mounting trunnion as shown in the following figures. For new or existing installations of APX 2500, APX 4500, and APX 1500, use only the APX mobile trunnion, kit number HLN6861_.

MN005720A01-AB Chapter 2: Standard Configurations 2.2.2.5 O3 Control Head and Remote Mount Cabling Choose a mounting location for the radio, considering accessibility, control, and antenna cable lengths. The control head extension cable and the accessories cable should be installed and routed properly to avoid complications. Prerequisites: Route the cables in the wiring troughs (where available) of the vehicle or route the cables where they are protected from pinching, sharp edges, or crushing.
MN005720A01-AB Chapter 2: Standard Configurations A mounting clip, which allows the control head to be mounted, is supplied together with the control head. Procedure: 1 Use the provided mounting clip to determine the location of the two screw holes. 2 Drill 7/16” deep holes for the upper and lower screws. 3 Use the tapping screw provided to install the mounting clip. CAUTION: Shield the control head (front and back) from direct exposure to pressurized water.
