INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
WARNING:
B
oth voice coils must be connected to the amplifier for correct operation of
this speaker.
Use of this speaker with only one voice coil connected voids all warranties. Voice coils may
be wired in parallel or series to connect to a single channel of an amplifier or a mono-bridged
amplifier.
Important Notice:
In case of connection with reverse polarity at only one pair of the connector pins, the voice
coils are working against each other.
In this case you would not hear any bass but the voice coils are still heavily used. This might
cause damage to the subwoofer.
Double-check the wiring connections and start testing the
system with low volume level.
Attention:
If sheet metal must be cut or removed, contact your authorized car audio
dealer for professional advice. By damage to supporting body, the safety certificate may
be withdrawn.

•
Before cutting any trim or steel, make sure you clear all moving parts and factory
electrical lines.
•
Be sure to leave enough slack in the wire to prevent pulling or stretching wires
for service later.
•
Tie down all loose wires to prevent them from getting caught in moving parts
or shorted due to abrasion over time.
•
Never mount speakers in a car’s wheel wells or areas where they might be
subjected to moisture or road spray.
•
Proper speaker polarity must be preserved. The polarity positive side is marked
by a + sign and/or a red dot. At low frequencies woofers out-of-phase will
acoustically cancel which will result in little bass output.
•
Although the components used in Oz Audio exceed most international standards,
speaker frames can be twisted by improper installation on uneven surfaces. This
can occur when the surface is heavily padded or carpeted and the screws are
unevenly or over tightened.
•
When installing more than one speaker per amplifier channel, be sure that the
combined impedance values cannot damage the amplifier.
•
Speaker wire should be isolated from the electrical system of the car and routed
away from any factory systems in order to avoid noise picked up and fed back
to the amplifiers.
•
Speaker wire size should be of sufficient size in order to carry the full power of
the amplifier/s.
•
Do not drill or drive screws through any vehicle interior or carpeted floor before
inspecting the underside for potential punctures to control lines or cables. Be
sure to avoid all fuel lines, brake lines, electrical cables or oil lines when planning
the installation.
