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.
1) Choose a flat mounting surface that has sufficient
depth and air space behind
it to accept the subwoofer.
2) Cut a 7.375-inch (187 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.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.

correction factors applied.
** Efficiency (1W/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer’s output capability
and should not be used as a comparison to other subwoofers to determine which
one is “louder” !
We recommend the use of this speaker in a bi-amplified system using high-quality satellite
speakers and amplifiers. We do not recommend the use of this subwoofer with a passive
crossover (coil), as this type of device will adversely affect performance.
