- Wiring:
- Connect the provided 18AWG pigtail cables to the speaker terminals. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
- Connect the other end of the pigtail cables to your vehicle's speaker wiring harness or amplifier outputs.
- Grille Installation: Attach the speaker grilles using the remaining screws to protect the speaker cones.
- Test: Reconnect the vehicle's battery and test the speakers at a low volume. Gradually increase the volume to ensure proper function and sound quality.
Important Considerations:
- Ensure all connections are secure to prevent intermittent sound or damage.
- Avoid over-tightening screws, which can damage the speaker frame.
- If you are unsure about any step, consult a professional car audio installer.
Operating Your Speakers
Your Infinity Primus speakers are designed with patented Plus One woofer cone architecture and edge-driven silk dome tweeters to deliver clear, high-fidelity audio. Here are some guidelines for optimal operation:
- Power Handling: These speakers have a power handling of 60W RMS and 180W peak. Ensure your amplifier's output matches these specifications to prevent damage.
- Audio Settings: Adjust your car's head unit or amplifier settings (bass, treble, balance, fader) to suit your personal preference. Start with flat settings and make small adjustments.
- Break-in Period: Allow a short break-in period (approximately 10-20 hours of normal listening) for the speaker components to loosen up and achieve their full sonic potential.

Maintenance and Care
To keep your speakers in excellent condition and ensure long-lasting performance:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the grilles and speaker surrounds. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Environmental Factors: While designed for automotive use, extreme temperatures and direct prolonged sunlight can affect speaker longevity.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not continuously play music at distortion levels, as this can permanently damage the voice coils and other components.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your speakers, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No sound from speaker | Loose or incorrect wiring; Blown fuse in amplifier/head unit; Speaker damage | Check all wiring connections and polarity. Inspect fuses. If speaker is damaged, replacement may be necessary. |
| Distorted sound | Over-driving the speaker; Incorrect audio settings; Loose mounting | Reduce volume/gain. Adjust bass/treble settings. Ensure speaker is securely mounted. |
| Weak or no bass | Incorrect polarity; Phase issues; Insufficient power | Verify wiring polarity. Check phase settings on head unit/amplifier. Ensure adequate power supply. |
