Installation
The following installation instructions are very basic. If you feel
unsure about personally installing this speaker system, Dual
recommends acquiring the services of a professional car audio
installation center.
Beforeꢀinstallation,ꢀpleaseꢀfollowꢀtheseꢀguidelines:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install
this product.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery prior to beginning the
installation.
3. For easier assembly: If additional wiring is required, we recommend running all wires
prior to mounting your speaker in place.
4. Use the highest quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or
power loss.
5. Use caution before you drill or cut! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel
lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any
vehicle.
6. Never run speaker wires underneath your vehicle. Running speaker wires inside the
vehicle provides the best protection from exhaust heat and environmental elements.
7. Avoid running wires over, near, or through sharp edged surfaces. We suggest you
also use rubber grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the
firewall.
8. Do not connect audio outputs from your amp or receiver to the illuminite inputs of the
speakers. This WILL DAMAGE the LEDs and WILL void your warranty.

LightingꢀHook-UpꢀRecommendationsꢀ
The illuminite lighting elements of your TS series products provide you with a
unique custom touch to your vehicle. Dual’s patent pending illuminite bulb system
and control circuitry provides an extraordinary lighted-hue illumination which
allows great creative opportunities for the beginner and seasoned custom installer
alike. The interior of your vehicle will never sound or look ordinary again. Let your
imagination take you there.
The lighting features of all illuminite products require a 12 volt DC power source to
operate. The speaker has two distinct sets of input terminals. The first is labeled
audio input terminals and the second is labeled illuminite lighting inputs. The inputs
are clearly marked with a label positioned directly above the terminal housing. The
polarity (+ and -) indicators for each set of inputs also appear on these labels.
1. Do not connect amplifier or any audio source to illuminite lighting inputs. Inputs
are designed for switched 12 volt DC power source only.
2. See fig. 1a, (illustrated wiring diagram) be sure to maintain polarity. Be sure to
connect to a switched 12 volt DC source. Correct connection would be the positive
(+) 12 volt wire to the Positive (+) illuminite Lighting input terminal and connect the
Negative (-) illuminite lighting input terminal to a good chassis ground.

Notice:ꢀThe illuminite series LED illumination elements are not removable. There
are no serviceable parts inside or attached to the speaker assembly. The illuminite
series products are sensitive electronic devices. Removal or tampering with any part
or portion of the speaker and/or its assemblies will damage the product and void the
limited warranty.

Mounting
1. Determine where the speakers will
be mounted. Make sure the area
is large enough for the speaker
to mount evenly. Also ensure the
mounting location is deep enough for
the speaker to fit.

2. Refer to the specification chart to
determine the proper diameter hole
to cut for your speaker model.
3. If supplied, use the plastic mounting
ring as a template to mark the

locations for the mounting screws.
Drill the holes with a 3/32" bit.
4. Be sure to observe proper polarity
when connecting the wires. The
speaker's positive terminal is
indicated with a "+" symbol.

5. Fit the speaker to the hole cut-out.
Mount the speaker using the
supplied screws. If the speaker grill
is to be used, insert 4 screws into
the grill holes and then mount the
speaker.
