RV-FS402 Speaker Installation
Instructions

Important Safety Information

Failure to follow these warnings and cautions could result in
personal injury, damage to the vessel, or poor product
performance.
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
This device must be installed according to these instructions.
Disconnect the vessel's power supply before beginning to install
this product.
Audio systems can produce sound pressure levels exceeding
135 dB. Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over
100 dB may cause permanent hearing loss. The volume is
typically too loud if you cannot hear people speaking around
you. Limit the amount of time you listen at high volume. If you
experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening
and have your hearing checked.
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask
when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface.
It is strongly recommended that you have your audio system
installed by a professional installer to ensure optimum
performance.
You must read all installation instructions before beginning the
installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, go

Mounting Considerations

The audio system must be turned off before making any
connections to the source unit, amplifier, or speaker. Failure to
do so could result in permanent damage to the audio system.
Selecting the correct mounting location is critical to optimize the
performance of the speaker. FUSION
perform in the widest possible range of mounting locations, but

WARNING
CAUTION

for product support.
NOTICE
speakers are designed to
®
the more you plan the installation, the better the speaker's
sound will be.
• Using the included screws, this speaker can be flush-
mounted in a surface with a depth of at least 50 mm (2 in.)
• Using optional spacers (sold separately), this speaker can be
mounted in surfaces with shallower depths of 25 mm (1 in.)
or 19 mm (0.75 in.).
• Using an optional spacer (sold separately), this speaker can
be mounted directly on a flat surface.
• Because of the enclosed housing, the entire speaker is rated
IP65 for protection in a marine environment. To ensure water
does not enter the mounting surface, you may want to use
marine sealant when mounting the speaker.
• For the best performance, the speaker should not be
mounted low in the RV or boat. Sound travels in the direction
in which the speaker is facing. When the speaker is mounted
low, the sound quality and volume are not ideal.
• You should select a flat mounting surface for the best seal.
• The mounting location must avoid potential obstacles, such
as fuel and hydraulic lines and wiring.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the speaker
should not be installed closer to a compass than the
compass-safe distance value listed in the product
specifications.
• You should protect the speaker wires from sharp objects and
always use rubber grommets when wiring through panels.
• You should protect all terminals and connections from
grounding and from each other. Failure to do so could result
in permanent damage to the audio system and void the
product warranty.
Mounting the Speaker
Before mounting the speaker, you must choose a location where
there is enough clearance behind the mounting surface. Refer to
the side view drawings for clearance information.
If necessary, you can purchase spacers (not included) to install
the speaker in shallower locations or directly onto a flat surface.
Before mounting the speakers, you must choose a location
following the guidelines above.
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
Secure the template to the selected location.
4
Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting surface, drill a
hole inside the dashed line on the template to prepare the
mounting surface for cutting.
5
Using a jigsaw or rotary tool, 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.
12
Connect the speaker wires while observing correct polarity.
