WARNING
- Before mounting or wiring etc., be sure to remove the wire from the battery ground
- When extending the power supply wire (+12 V) or ground wire, make sure to use
- To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside the speaker.
- If the product emits smoke or an unusual odor, turn off the power supply immediately the (set it to the standby mode) and stop using it. After this, please contact your dealer or nearest service station as soon as possible.

- After taking the product out of the polyethylene bag, be sure to dispose of the poly-ethylene bag out of the reach of children. Otherwise, they may play with the bag, which could cause hazard of suffocation
Do not ingest the battery, Chemical Burn Hazard.
The remote control supplied with this product contains a coin/button cell battery.
- If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can lead to death. Keep new and used batteries away from children.
- If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children.
- If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.

- Do not install the product in a spot exposed to excessive heat or humidity.
- Do not install the product in unstable locations or locations subject to dust.
- Do not use gasoline, naphtha, or any type of solvent to clean the product. Clean by wiping with a soft, dry cloth.
- Connect the speaker wires to appropriate speaker connectors separately. Sharing the negative wire of the speaker or grounding speaker wires to the metal body of the boat/vehicle can cause this product to fail.
- When making a hole under a seat, inside the trunk, or somewhere else in the boat/ vehicle, check that there is nothing hazardous on the opposite side such as a gasoline tank, brake pipe; or wiring harness, and be careful not to cause scratches or other damage.
- Do not secure the ground wire to the bolts or nuts of important safety equipment such as: Steering or braking devices, airbag mechanisms (Can cause accidents.)
- Fasten the product securely so that it does not get detached due to sudden deceleration and becomes a hindrance to driving to ensure that it does not pose a danger to the passengers. (Cause of injury or accidents.)
- After installing the product, check that the following electrical equipment are working properly.
- Lights, navigation lights, brake lights, turn signal lights, windshield wipers, horn device, etc. - The helmsman or driver must always stop the boat or vehicle in a safe location before performing the next action.
- Remote control operation - Do not use the product for purposes other than on-board mounting.
- Keep the volume of sound at an optimum level. Not being able to hear sounds from outside of your car can lead to traffic accidents.
- To prevent damaging the speaker, turn off the power of amplifier before connecting it to the speaker.
Connections
WARNING
Remove the ignition key and disconnect the negative
terminal of the battery to prevent short circuits.
CAUTION
Check that no unconnected wires or connectors are touching the metal parts or car body.
Wiring
- In a computer-equipped boat/vehicle, when you remove the terminal of the battery, the memory may disappear, or a defect may occur in the electrical system of the boat/vehicle. Consult your dealer for further details.
- Do not allow the wire to directly contact the edge of the iron plate by using grommets.
- Do not turn the power on if the ground wire is not connected. Connect the ground wire to a metal part of the car chassis that acts as an electrical ground passing electricity to the battery`s negative terminal.
Connecting the speaker cords
With this product, the speaker cords are not supplied. Obtain the audio speaker cords with the required length. To connect the speaker cords to the speaker, terminate the wires with female spade connectors.
12 – 22 AWG speaker cord is recommended.
Connecting the power supply wires and link cable (RGB LED)
- Pass 2 heat shrink tubes (6) onto the link cable B(5) .
- Connect the link cable B (5) to the left and right speakers.
- Put the heat shrink tube (6)over the connection area of the connector. Apply heat with a heat gun or similar to shrink the tube and protect the connector from moisture, etc. (Refer to Fig. 3) Protect the 2 connectors that are not in use with heat shrink tubes(6). (Refer to Fig. 4)
- Connect the ground wire (black) and the +12 V wire (yellow) of the controller of speaker A (1)
- Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Do not use link cable A (4)for this connection.
Do not connect the +12 V wire and ground wire in reverse. Incorrect connections can cause failure.
When connecting the power supply (+12 V) directly to the battery
CAUTION
Be sure to connect a 3 A fuse between the power cord (+12 V) of the controller of speaker A(1) battery. The cord length between the battery and the fuse must not exceed 90 mm (3-9/16″).
Do not connect the +12 V wire and ground wire in reverse. Incorrect connections can cause failure.
When using multiple pairs of speakers
A maximum of up to 6 pairs of speakers can be connected. Connect the link cables of the second and subsequent pairs of speakers as shown on the right. The figure shows an example of connecting 3 pairs of speakers. Connect the fourth and subsequent pairs speakers in the same way as the third pair. Protect the 2 connectors that are not in use with heat shrink tubes . (Refer to Fig. 4)
You can control all the LED lights with one remote controller, but you cannot control just a specific speaker.
Do not let the wire come out from the tab.
