IMPORTANT:
Installation of stereo compo-
nents can require extensive experience
with a variety of mechanical and electrical
procedures. Although these instructions
explain how to install Kappa Marine speakers
in a general sense, they do not show the
exact installation method for your particular
application. If you feel you do not have the
experience, do not attempt the installation
yourself, but instead ask your authorized
Infinity marine-audio dealer about profes-
sional installation options.
WARNING:
Playing loud music in a marine
environment can permanently damage your
hearing, as well as hinder your ability to
hear traffic. The maximum volume levels
achievable with Infinity speakers, combined
with high power amplification, may exceed
safe levels for extended listening. Infinity
accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily
injury or property damage as a result of use
or misuse of this product.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS
• Always wear protective eyewear when using
any tools.
• Turn off all audio components and other elec-
trical devices before you start. Disconnect the
(–) negative battery lead.
• Keep speakers in their package until final
installation. When moving a speaker, always
rest it with the cone or dome facing up. Never
use force to install any speaker.
• Check clearances on both sides of a planned
mounting surface before drilling any holes or
installing any screws. Remember that the
screws can extend behind the surface.
• At the installation sites, locate and make a
note of all fuel lines, hydraulic lines, vacuum
lines and electrical wiring. Use extreme cau-
tion when cutting or drilling in and around
these areas.
• Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility
knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl, to
keep material from snagging in a drill bit
or saw.
• The stainless steel hardware provided with
your Kappa Marine speakers has been chosen
to resist rust and corrosion.
A NOTE ON POWER HANDLING
Kappa Marine speakers are designed to
produce reasonable volume levels with little
amplifier power. However, the addition of an
amplifier to drive your speakers and a sub-
woofer will enhance the dynamic range of
your system, and help overcome ambient
noise. Kappa Marine speakers are designed
to handle the power of a dedicated amplifier
driven at or below its rated power. If an
amplifier is driven far above its rated power,
the output signal will “clip,” and the additional
power present in a clipped signal can dam-
age any speaker. Distorted or “fuzzy” sound
from your speakers is an indication that the
amplifier has exceeded its rated power, and
you should reduce the volume level.
