Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for speaker performance and longevity. Due to its free-air design, this speaker can be installed without a dedicated enclosure, simplifying the process.

1. Choose Mounting Location: Select a flat, stable surface that can accommodate the speaker's dimensions (refer to Figure 3). Ensure there is sufficient depth for the speaker magnet and wiring.
2. Prepare Mounting Hole: Using the provided template or the dimensions in Figure 3, carefully cut a 5-inch diameter hole for the speaker. Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws.
3. Wiring Connections:
   • Audio Wiring: Connect the speaker's positive (+) and negative (-) terminals to the corresponding outputs on your audio amplifier or head unit. Ensure correct polarity for optimal sound.
   • RGB LED Wiring: Connect the RGB LED wires to a compatible LED controller (sold separately). Follow the controller's instructions for power and signal connections.
4. Mount Speaker: Place the speaker into the prepared opening. Secure it using the provided mounting screws, tightening them evenly to prevent distortion of the speaker frame.
5. Test Functionality: After installation, test both the audio and RGB LED lighting to ensure all connections are correct and the speaker is functioning as expected.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, operating your RecPro speaker is straightforward:

• Audio Playback: Turn on your audio source (e.g., RV stereo, marine head unit). Adjust the volume and audio settings (bass, treble, balance, fader) on your audio device to achieve your desired sound quality.
• RGB LED Control: The RGB LED lighting requires an external LED controller (not included). Refer to the instructions provided with your LED controller to select colors, patterns, brightness, and other lighting effects. Ensure the LED controller is powered on and properly connected to the speaker's LED wiring.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps preserve the appearance and performance of your speakers:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the speaker grilles and frame. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish or components. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly.
• Inspection: Periodically check all mounting screws and wiring connections to ensure they are secure. Loose connections can lead to poor sound quality or intermittent operation.
• Environmental Protection: Although water-resistant and UV-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions can still affect the speaker's lifespan. Consider covering speakers when not in use for extended periods in harsh environments.
