An electric drillA bit (size depending on the surface material)A saw or utility knife suitable for cutting the surface materialA Phillips screwdriverWire strippersMarine-grade tinned copper speaker wire, 16 AWG gauge (1.3 to 1.5 mm²)Marine-grade tinned copper wire, 20 AWG gauge (0.5 mm²) for LED connections (if applicable)Female 6.3 mm and 4.8 mm spade connectors (recommended)Male and female 4 mm bullet connectors for LED wires (recommended, for LED models only)A crimping toolMarine sealant (optional)

When choosing the mounting location, it is important to:

Protect the rear of the speaker from moisture.Ensure sufficient clearance for the mounting depth.Choose a flat and vertical mounting surface for better waterproofing.Protect wires from sharp objects and use rubber grommets.Do not mount speakers closer to a compass than the safety distance specified in the product specifications.If the speaker is exposed to weather or water, mount it on a vertical surface.Avoid mounting the speaker on a horizontal upward-facing surface, as water could accumulate there.If mounted outside the boat, place it well above the waterline.

After mounting the speakers, hold the grille with the Fusion logo at the bottom (6 o’clock position). Turn the grille counterclockwise about 30 degrees (5 o’clock position). Place the grille on the speaker and turn it clockwise to lock it in place. Alternatively, you can align it so the Fusion logo is at the 6 o’clock position and press to snap it into place.

Yes, it is strongly recommended to use the mounting template provided in the product box. If you print a template yourself, you must follow precise instructions regarding paper size and printer settings to avoid incorrect cutting.

The required cutout diameter for these 6.5-inch speakers is Ø 135 mm (5 5/16 inches).

Use marine-grade tinned copper speaker wire, 16 AWG (1.3 to 1.5 mm²), to connect speakers to your stereo system.

Here are the polarity and recommended fork connector sizes:

White wire: Positive (+) — 6.3 mm fork connector
White wire with a black stripe: Negative (–) — 4.8 mm fork connector
Speaker wires are terminated with male fork connectors. Female fork connectors (not included) are recommended for the best connection.

Yes, it is imperative to disconnect the boat's electrical power supply before starting installation of this device to avoid serious injury or material damage.

No, it is important not to apply grease or lubricant on the screws when mounting the speakers to the mounting surface, as this could damage the speaker.

Yes, it is crucial to protect the rear of the speaker from moisture. The rear of the speaker, including all components and connected wires, is not waterproof, and exposure to moisture can cause component failure and void the warranty.

Use 20 AWG (0.5 mm²) tinned marine-grade copper wire for LED connections. This wire is available in 100 m lengths (part number 010-13386-00) from your Fusion or Garmin dealer.

It is recommended to install an LED lighting control module with these speakers to turn the LEDs on and off, change colors, and create lighting effects. If you choose not to install an LED controller, you can set a static color by connecting specific LED wire combinations directly to the power source.

If you connect the red and green LED wires together to ground, the LED color will be yellow.

For Fusion XS Series 6.5-inch speakers with LED lighting, a 500 mA inline fast fuse must be installed on the positive wire at the power source end of the LED cable for each speaker.

These Fusion XS marine speakers come with a 3-year limited global consumer warranty as True-Marine™ products.
