INCLUDED PARTS • One Polymer Subwoofer Grille • Six 010x 1 5/8-inch (41 mm) pan-head stainless-steel screws • Six 010 stainless-steel washers • Logo Badges (Sport-Grille Models Only) One Pair Black (White & Titanium/Black Models) One Pair Red (White & Titanium/Black Models) One Pair White (White Models Only) One Pair Titanium (Taanium/Black Models Only) INSTALLATION PROCEDURE The diagram above shows the typical installation procedure into a fiberglass panel using the supplied hardware (Classic Grille Model shown. Installation is the same for Sport Grille Models). Always follow proper safety procedures when working on a vessel. Use eye-protection at all times and a dust mask and gloves when cutting. I) Choose a flat mounting surface that has sufficient depth and air space behind it to accept the Subw0Ofer. 2) Cut a 8.875-inch (225 mm) diameter hole. 3) Run the speaker cable to the mounting location. 4) Place the woofer in the hole and mark the screw hole locations using a sharp, pointed tool. 5) Remove the woofer and drill a pilot hole (see chart on next page) in each of the screw locations. It is also advisable to use a hand-driven countersink tool on each hole to further inhibit gel-coat cracking of fiberglass panels. 6) Connect the speaker wires and place the woofer, with its grille in place, into the opening (for Sport Grille models, pay attention to where the logo badge will added. 7) While holding the speaker firmly in Its mounting location, evenly snug the mounting screws in a criss-cross pattern, then hand tighten 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. 2 All specifications are sublect to change without notice.
