Do not apply grease or lubricant to the screws when fastening
the speakers to the mounting surface. Grease or other lubricants
can cause damage to the speaker housing.
1
Route the wires from the source to the speaker location,
away from sources of electrical interference.
2
Trim the template and make sure it fits in the selected
location.
3
Orient the template so that the FUSION logo is right-side up
on the template.
4
Secure the template to the selected location.
5
Using a rotary tool or jigsaw, cut the mounting surface along
the inside of the line on the template.
6
Place the speaker in the cutout to test the fit.
7
If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of
the cutout.
8
After the speaker fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the
mounting holes on the speaker line up with the pilot holes on
the template.
9
If the mounting holes on the speaker do not line up, mark the
new hole locations.
10
Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the mounting surface
and screw type, drill the holes.
11
Remove the template from the mounting surface.

14
Place the speaker in the cutout.
15
Secure the speaker to the mounting surface using the
included screws
.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the screws, especially if the
mounting surface is not flat.
16
With the speakers mounted, hold the grille with the FUSION
logo at the bottom, or at the 6 o'clock position.
17
Turn the grille counter-clockwise about 30 degrees, so the
FUSION logo is at the 5 o'clock position.
18
Place the grille on the speaker, and twist it clockwise to
secure it.
NOTE: Instead of twisting to install the grille, you can line it
up so the FUSION logo is at the 6 o'clock position and press
to snap it into place.
Speaker Wiring
When connecting the speakers to your stereo, observe these
considerations.
• Speaker wire is not included with the speakers. You should
use 18 AWG (0.82 mm
speakers to the stereo.
• The leads on the speakers are terminated using male spade
connectors. You should use female spade connectors (not

for the best connection.
• You can use this table to identify the polarity and spade-
connector sizes of the leads on the speaker.

LED Wiring
Connecting the LED Wires
You can control the color of the LEDs by connecting the LED
color wires to ground. You can splice the ground wire to multiple
LED wires to customize the LED color.
NOTE: This feature is available only on the sports model.
NOTE: Instead of connecting the LED wires for one dedicated
color, you can install a remote control to turn the LEDs on and
off, change the color, and create lighting effects. See your
FUSION dealer or
information.
The black wire on the LED cable is terminated with a 4 mm
female bullet connector, and the color wires are terminated with
4 mm male bullet connectors. You can connect these to 4 mm
bullet connectors on your wires (not included), or remove the
bullet connectors to connect to the bare wires instead.
1
Connect a positive wire to the black wire on the LED cable.
2
Connect a ground wire to the wire on the LED cable
according to the preferred LED color.

Connecting the LED Wires to Power
NOTE: This feature is available on only the sports model.
You must connect all 12 Vdc wiring to the LEDs to a 3 A fuse at
the power-source end of the cable. You should connect the
positive (+) power wire to a 12 Vdc power source through an
isolator switch or circuit breaker to turn the LEDs on and off. You
can use the same isolator or circuit breaker controlling the
power supply to your stereo, which allows you to turn the LEDs
and the stereo on and off at the same time.
You should use 22 AWG (0.33 mm
the LEDs to the battery.
1
Route the positive power (+) and negative ground (-) wires
from the LED-wire connections to the battery.
2
Connect the negative wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.
3
Connect the positive wire to the positive (+) terminal through
a 3 A fuse and isolator switch or circuit breaker.
