User manual BOSTON ACOUSTICS RM6 COAX 6.5 WOOFER, 1 TWEETER

[. . . ] Make sure you have adequate time and shelter to complete the installation. Examine the Boston Rally Series speakers and hardware so that you are familiar with them before you start the installation. Install the speakers and complete the wiring. 5 Speaker Wiring For your convenience, two sets of two-conductor wire are provided to use between the speakers and the amplifier or head-unit. Other wire may be substituted if desired as long as it is at least 18 gauge. [. . . ] Rotate the speaker until the correct holes line up. 4-hole pattern 3-hole pattern 8 RM9 Installation Option The RM9 can also be installed from underneath the rear deck to reduce the installed height of the tweeter module. A spacer is supplied to protect the rubber surround and ensure a tight air seal. The spacer is installed between the speaker and the mounting surface as shown in the diagram. The KortecTM dome tweeter on the RM9 is asymetrically aligned with the woofer cone to minimize diffraction of high-frequencies off of the cone. Although they are packaged in stereo, matched pairs, either speaker may be mounted on either side of the vehicle. 9 Installing Speakers In Nonstandard Locations ­ RM6 Notice Check the clearance of both speaker locations. (There may be multiple window controls on the driver's side, for example. ) If installing in the doors, remove the interior panel. Avoid possible speaker contact with door frames, handles and window tracks. If installing in the trunk, check for clearance with the trunk lid opened and closed. The Boston Rally Series speakers are heavy, and must be held in place by a strong, rigid structure. If the door has a plastic moisture barrier, cut a flap to shield the speakers, or make a flap from heavy sheet plastic and attach it to the inside of the door above the speaker. 10 1. Mark the pilot hole, the edges of the large cutout and the locations of the screws. Make sure that the mounting surface provides a complete air seal between the front and the back of the speaker. If the surface is uneven, or if air can leak directly from the back of the speaker to the front, seal the air leaks with silicon sealant or weather stripping. Make sure that the sealing material does not touch any moving part of the speaker. 11 3. Drill the pilot hole at the center of the cutout, then drill four 1/8" holes for the speaker's mounting screws. Make the large circular cutout with a saber saw, hole saw or nibbler (depending on the material). Use four of the supplied #8 x 1" sheet metal screws or other hardware. Tighten the screws just enough to seal the woofer against the mounting surface. Be sure to align the logo on the bottom of the grille before attaching the grille. Optional Spacers , To reduce the mounting depth by 1/2" optional spacers are available that can be mounted behind the RM6. 12 Installing Speakers In Nonstandard Locations ­ RM9 Notice Check the clearance of both speaker locations.
