XNBP SERIES INSTALLATION
Installation
Please note: T his manual covers multiple models. Parts of the following
instructions may not apply to your installation.
The installation instructions included here are basic. If you feel
unsure about personally installing the speaker system. Dual
recommends that you seek installation by a qualified auto
sound technician.
Before installation, please follow the following rules:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before
attempting to install the product.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning
the installation.
3. For easier assembly, we recommend that if additional wiring is required,
that you run all wires prior to mounting your speaker in place.
4. Use the highest quality connectors for a reliable installation and to
minimize signal or power loss.
5. Use caution before you drill or cut! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas
tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical
wiring when working on any vehicle.
6. Never run speaker wires underneath your vehicle. Running speaker wires
inside the vehicle provides the best protection from exhaust heat and
environmental elements.
7. Avoid running wires over, near, or through sharp edged surfaces. We
suggest you also use rubber grommets to protect any wires routed
through metal, especially the firewall.
8. When running the speaker cable from the amplifier, avoid running it near
sources of high current (i.e. wiring harnesses, battery cables).
9. Amp connection: The positive (+) speaker output from the bass amp
connects to the positive (+) terminal, and the negative output (-) connects
to the negative (-) input terminal on the input cup located on the rear of
the product. DO NOT CONNECT AMP OR ANY AUDIO SOURCE TO
ILLUMINATION INPUTS AS DAMAGE TO LIGHTING ELEMENTS WILL OCCUR.
10. Illumination connection: The positive (+) output from your 12 volt system
connects to the positive (+) input, and the negative (ground) connects to
the negative input on the input cup located on the rear of the product.
Improper 12 volt polarity will not cause damage to elements, but lighting
elements will not illuminate.
