IMPORTANT:
Installation of stereo compo-
nents can require extensive experience
with a variety of mechanical and electrical
procedures. Although these instructions
explain how to install marine speakers in a
general sense, they do not show the exact
installation method for your particular
application. If you feel you do not have the
experience, do not attempt the installation
yourself, but instead ask your authorized
Infinity marine audio dealer about profes-
sional installation options.
WARNING:
Playing loud music in a marine
environment can permanently damage your
hearing, as well as hinder your ability to
hear boating traffic. The maximum volume
levels achievable with Infinity speakers,
combined with high power amplification, may
exceed safe levels for extended listening.
Infinity accepts no liability for hearing loss,
bodily injury or property damage as a result
of use or misuse of this product.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS
• Always wear protective eyewear when using
any tools.
• Turn off all audio components and other
electrical devices before you start. Disconnect
the (–) negative battery lead.
• Keep speakers in their package until final
installation. When moving a speaker, always
rest it with the cone or dome facing up. Never
use force to install any speaker.
• Check clearances on both sides of a planned
mounting surface before drilling any holes or
installing any screws. Remember that the
screws can extend behind the surface.
• At the installation sites, locate and make a
note of all fuel lines, hydraulic lines, vacuum
lines and electrical wiring. Use extreme
caution when cutting or drilling in and
around these areas.
• Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility
knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl, to
keep material from snagging in a drill bit
or saw.
The stainless-steel hardware provided with
your marine speakers has been chosen to
resist rust and corrosion.
A NOTE ON POWER HANDLING
Marine speakers are designed to produce
reasonable volume levels with little amplifier
power. However, the addition of an amplifier
to drive your speakers and a subwoofer will
enhance the dynamic range of your system,
and help overcome ambient noise. Marine
speakers are designed to handle the power
of a dedicated amplifier driven at or below
its rated power. If an amplifier is driven far
above its rated power, the output signal will
“clip,” and the additionalpower present in
a clipped signal can damage any speaker.
Distorted or “fuzzy” sound from your speakers
is an indication that the amplifier has exceeded
its rated power, and you should reduce the
volume level.
