Mounting
NOTE: Blaupunkt strongly recommends that you operate your system at low volume levels prior to the completed installation of your Blaupunkt series speakers. This will allow for a test of the subwoofers before permanently securing it to a location.
CAUTION: Make sure that all of the speaker's wiring is fully protected from cuts, tears, and possible wear. Any short circuits created from cuts, tears, or wear could severely damage the source unit or amplifier. Make sure all speaker wires easily reach the speakers' terminals with no stress on the wire or connectors.
IMPORTANT: Never cut any metal that is an integral part of the vehicle's safety or structural support system. If you are unsure, it is best to have the speakers professionally installed. It could be a lot less expensive in the long run. Never sacrifice your safety for sound.
CHOOSING A LOCATION: It is always best to plan the complete installation prior to attempting to install any product. The routing of wires, power connections, and mounting locations should be planned first. As with any car stereo installation, all work performance should be checked thoroughly and carefully prior to the operation of the system.
The placement of your Blaupunkt speakers within your vehicle will greatly affect the overall performance of your audio system. Every model of car is different, so installation into particular locations of the vehicle may not be possible without modifications. Factory-provided locations are usually ideal.
Blaupunkt speakers are designed to fit in almost any factory location. If at all possible, it is recommended that you use a factory location. This applies mostly to later model cars. For those earlier models that do not have factory locations or are limited to just front speakers, it is recommended that you choose a location with a sufficient amount of air space. If you allow an insufficient amount of air space, the speaker may not produce low frequencies very well. It is recommended to mount the speaker in the door panels, kick panels, rear decks, etc. Ideally, the speakers should be mounted where it will be in an enclosed airspace. This will allow for extended bass response.

Troubleshooting
- If you have any distorted sound, loss of performance, or rattling from your speakers, check the connections running from your amplifier or other processors to the speaker. You will also want to check the connections inside the speaker enclosure to make sure no wires have become unhooked or are loose.
- If the above does not solve the problem, check your enclosure thoroughly to see if there are any leaks, cracks, or broken pieces. Any loss of structural integrity of your enclosure can cause significant performance loss and distortion.
- The next step you can take is to remove the speakers and look for any burned wire leads or separated components. You can normally smell something burning when a speaker blows or is going bad. Sometimes, when you play speakers too hard for too long, they will start to heat up.
- If none of the above steps solve the problem, you will want to start looking at the other components in the vehicle. Start by checking all connections to and from the enclosure, amplifier, source unit, or any other processors you may be using. You will need to reference that particular manufacturer for any setting configurations or troubleshooting.
Warning
Investigate the layout of your automobile thoroughly before drilling or cutting any holes. Take care when you work near the gas tanks, gas lines, hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring. Attach the system securely to the automobile to prevent damage, particularly in the event of an accident. Do not mount the system so that the wire connections are unprotected or are subject to pinching or damage from nearby objects.
The +12V DC power wire must be fused at the battery positive terminal connection. Before making or breaking power connections at the system power terminals, disconnect the +12V wire at the battery end. Confirm your radio/head unit or other equipment is turned off while connecting the input jacks and speaker terminals.
If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that supplied with the system. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in damage to this system.
