- Prepare Opening: If flush mounting, carefully cut an opening in the mounting surface according to the speaker's dimensions. Ensure no wires or structural components are damaged.
- Secure Speaker: Insert the speaker into the opening and secure it using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure it is firmly attached to prevent vibration.

- Power Connection: Connect the speaker to a 12V power supply. Observe correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) to prevent damage.
- Audio Input: Connect the speaker to your RV's audio source (e.g., TV, radio, stereo system) using appropriate audio cables. The speaker is passive, meaning it requires an external amplifier or head unit to function.
- Test Connections: Before finalizing the installation, briefly power on your audio system to confirm sound output and correct wiring.
