that you run all wires prior to mounting your speaker in place.

minimize signal or power loss.
5. Use caution before you drill or cut! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas
tanks, fuel lines, hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when

environmental elements.

suggest you also use rubber grommets to protect any wires routed
through metal or fiberglass.

running it near sources of high current (i.e. wiring harnesses, battery
cables).
9. The positive (+) speaker output from the receiver or amp connects to the
red terminal of the enclosure, and the negative (-) connects to the black
terminal.
