WOOFER INSTALLATION
Review the Installation Precautions
section of this guide before proceeding.
1. Place the cutout template against
the mounting surface in the desired
location for the woofer.
2. Draw the speaker hole and
mounting screw locations on the
panel with a marker.
„
The 550.2 woofer requires a
4-7/8" hole
„
The 650.2 woofer requires a
5-3/4" hole.
3. Remove the cutout template and
carefully cut the speaker hole to the
proper size. If there is a pre-existing
hole that is undersize, mark it and
cut it to the proper size. If the hole is
oversize, it is recommended that a
spacer be built to compensate.
4. Pre-drill the holes for the mounting
screws using a 1/8" drill bit.
5. Route the supplied wires through
the speaker location to the
crossover.
6. Install the screw speed clips if not
installing into a metal panel.
7. Connect the speaker wire to the
woofer taking care to observe
proper speaker polarity.
8. Place the woofer into the hole and
attach using the supplied screws.
Take care at this time not to slip
with a tool while mounting or the
speaker could be damaged.
9. Place several pieces of the butyl
compound on the edge of the
speaker grill, then press the grill into
the speaker-mounting flange.
NNOOTTEE:: A supply of butyl compound is included and can
be used to attach the speaker grill as well as
prevent rattles.
