User manual AUDIOBAHN AS24N

[. . . ] Provided with the speakers are two sets of speaker wire used to connect the source unit or amplifier to the speakers. You will notice on the provided speaker wire there are 2 terminals at one end. The large terminal is positive (+) and will connect to the positive (+) terminal on the speaker. The small terminal is negative (-) and will connect to the negative (-) terminal on the speaker. [. . . ] Makes sure all speaker wires are placed easily within reach of the speaker terminal with no stress on the wire or connectors. Mounting 1) Confirm the mounting location and depth requirements by inspecting the area where the speaker will be mounted. Most speakers will fit into stock locations on the vehicle. In this case only depth consideration is important. 2) If the location you have picked does require cutting, you may use the supplied template to help you locate and mark the mounting location and cuts to be made. Be careful when cutting out the template. If you cut the template properly, the speaker will be a perfect fit. 3) If there is a cosmetic panel where the speaker will be mounted, we recommend using a utility knife to carefully cut a hole in it. Confirm the cut by placing the speaker in the hole. You may need to modify the hole cut as necessary. 4) If it is necessary to cut steel, reinstall the cosmetic panel in place and use the hole you have previously cut as a template. This will help to insure proper cutting and a good fit. Mark the locations for the speaker mounting screws. Then remove the panel and drill the screw holes. When finished you can replace the panel. 5) After cutting and drilling all holes, inspect the mounting areas for any metal burrs or rough edges. File any area that may interfere with the mounting of the speaker. 6) Clean any metal shavings from the mounting area and check for areas in which water may enter the speaker cavity. Treat the area for water protection when necessary. Make sure your source unit (Cassette, CD, DAT, DVD etc. ) is turned off while connecting the speaker terminals. Turn on the various components and slowly advance the volume. Remember to check and recheck all connections to insure you have a secure fitting. 7 Wiring Wiring Audiobahn recommends using at least 18-gauge wire with your new speaker system. Thinner gauge wire may easily be severed and can cause damage to your system should any bare wires come in contact with the vehicles chassis. [. . . ] Again, be sure to observe correct polarity. Solder and wrap all stripped connections. Securing the Speaker Securing the Speaker Once you have tested your system and confirmed that it is operating properly, turn off your system and prepare for the final mounting of the speakers. 1) Position the speaker into the mounting hole and confirm the correct mounting location and hole placement. Screw clips are provided to insure a snug fit. [. . . ]
