Before starting to mount your speakers, please read carefully the instructions on installation and

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before carrying out installation and connection work.
Observe the vehicle manufacturer's safety instructions (regarding airbags, alarm systems, trip
computers, vehicle immobilisers).
When drilling holes, take care to avoid damage to vehicle components (battery, cables, fuse boxes).
Do not mount the subwoofer onto flexible rear decks (hatchback vehicles) or anywhere where they may
fall forward.
