• Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
• Turn off all audio components and other electrical devices before you start. Disconnect the negative (–) lead from your vehicle’s battery.
• Check clearances on both sides of a planned mounting surface. Be sure that screws or wires will not puncture brake lines, fuel lines or
wiring harnesses, and that wire routing will not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
• When making electrical connections, make sure they are secure and properly insulated.
• 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.
• Do not mount speakers where they will get wet.

CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION FOR THE ENCLOSURE
Choose a mounting location that doesn’t interfere with cargo, the fold-down rear seat or the trunk lid. The best location is usually a corner
of the trunk or cargo area. Securely mount the enclosure to the mounting surface.

CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE
Setting the Impedance
Setting the Impedance
The Series II Enclosures both feature the Selectable Smart Impedance™ (SSI)
switch. This exclusive feature lets you set the subwoofer’s impedance to either
2 ohms or 4 ohms with the flip of a switch (see illustration below). This allows
you to extract the most from your subwoofer amplifier in any situation.

2 ohms or 4 ohms with the flip of a switch (see illustration below). This allows
you to extract the most from your subwoofer amplifier in any situation.
The SSI 2-ohm setting increases the subwoofer’s output over the 4-ohm setting
by up to 3dB, depending on the amplifier. Performance is identical in all other
respects. If the connected amplifier is rated for 2-ohm operation and its 2-ohm
power ratings are within the subwoofer’s power-handling specifications, setting
the SSI switch in the 2-ohm position will achieve maximum output.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the subwoofer amplifier is turned OFF before setting
the SSI switch. Do not change the switch position while the subwoofer amplifier
is operating. Doing so could damage the amplifier.
