User manual DUAL SBP10

[. . . ] If you feel unsure about installing this speaker system yourself, Dual recommends aquiring the services of a professional car audio installation center. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install this product. For safety, disconnect the battery negative terminal prior to beginning the installation. If additional wiring is required, we recommend running all wires prior to mounting your speaker in place. [. . . ] · Make sure all moving parts and factory electrical wires are out of the way and will not interfere after installation. · Ensure the wire is of sufficient length to avoid pulling or stretching. This is even more important if the wires will be run under or through the factory interior. · Use electrical tape and wire ties to ensure all wires are properly secured. · Avoid installing speakers or electronics where they can be subject to moisture. · Ensure the speaker wires are connected using correct polarity. · Ensure the Illuminite wires (12V) are connected using correct polarity. Do not connect an amplifier or any audio output source to the Illuminite inputs, as doing so will cause permanent damage to the lighting elements. · Speaker wire should be isolated from the vehicle's electrical system to avoid noise being picked up by the amplifiers. · We recommend using 14 gauge or larger sized speaker wire to ensure your subwoofer receives the full power output of your amplifier. Being exposed to sounds over 125dB for even short periods of time can create permanent hearing loss! 4 SBP10 INSTALLATION IlluminiteTM Lighting Hook-Up Dual's patent-pending Illuminite bulb system and control circuitry provide for extraordinary blue illumination, allowing for creative, color-coordinated installations. The lighting features of all Illuminite products require a 12V power source to operate. The first is labeled "audio input" and the second is labeled "Illuminite lighting inputs". The inputs are clearly marked with a label positioned directly above the terminal housing. The polarity (+ and -) indicators for each set of inputs also appear on these labels. Do not connect your amplifier or any audio source to the Illuminite inputs. Do not connect directly to your battery permanently, as it will cause your battery to discharge. Proper connection would be the positive (+) 12V wire to the positive (+) Illuminite input terminal and the negative (-) Illuminite input terminal to a solid chassis ground.
