lines behind the surfaces. Also make sure there are no wires routed directly behind or near the desired mounting.

BE CAREFUL WITH CABLE ROUTING - When routing audio cables, make sure RCA and speaker wires are routed away
from high current power lines for audio amplifiers and vehicle systems lines when possible. This will help prevent noises

■
BE CAREFUL WITH ALL CONNECTIONS - When making connections, make sure each connection is clean and properly
secured. Observe all polarity markings carefully to ensure proper end performance.
