We recommend listening to your system at moderate volume levels while driving your boat. Infinity accepts no liabilities for hearing loss, bodily harm or property damage resulting from the use or misuse of our products. IMPORTANT To get the best performance from your Infinity Marine Audio products, we strongly recommend that installation be entrusted to a qualified professional. Although these instructions explain how to install the Wakeboard Tower System in a general sense, they do not show specific installation methods that may be required for your particular application. If you do not have the necessary tools or experience, do not attempt the installation yourself. Instead, please ask your authorized Infinity car/marine audio dealer about professional installation. NOTE: This marine product is not intended for automotive applications. INSTALLATION WARNINGS · Always wear protective eyewear when using tools. · Turn off the audio system and other electrical devices before you start. Disconnect the (­) negative lead from your boat's battery and/or turn off the battery switch if you have a multiple battery setup. · Check clearances on both sides of a planned mounting surface before drilling any holes or installing any screws. Remember that the screws can extend behind the surface and could puncture the boat's hull. · At the installation sites, locate and make a note of all fuel lines, steering cables, and electrical wiring. Use extreme caution when cutting or drilling in and around these areas. · Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl to keep material from snagging in a drill bit or mounting screws. · When routing cables, keep input-signal cables away from power cables and speaker wires. · When making connections, make certain they are secure and properly insulated. DESCRIPTION · The 6000m Wakeboard Tower Speakers are constructed of weatherproof cast-polymer, and have passed our most stringent tests to ensure that you get only the best quality product. The 6100m uses two active 6-1/2" polypropylene speakers with a 1" CMMD® tweeter. The cast-aluminum mounting brackets are adjustable to fit almost any commonly available tube (1-1/2" to 2-1/2") and can be configured for surface mounting. · The 6100m Wakeboard Tower System is an all-in-one speaker system for your boat. The 6100m includes two all-weather speaker pods (6000m) with all of the mounting hardware, and a dedicated 2-channel amplifier with an integrated microphone and controls. This system allows you to listen to music while riding, and allows the driver to communicate back to the rider. · The 2100m Marine Amplifier is a stand-alone amplifier that can be used with or without the 6100m system. This amplifier can be used to supply power to interior speakers or additional 6000m wakeboard tower speakers. CLEANING AND PRECAUTIONS Although the 6000m speaker pods are waterand salt-spray-resistant, keep in mind that the speakers are exposed and may be damaged during washdowns. Use only a damp cloth to wipe the speakers down. DO NOT spray water, or any liquids, directly at the speakers. High pressure may damage the speakers, especially the tweeters. The 6100m and 2100m amplifiers should be installed where they will not come in contact with water or other liquids. The amplifier could be damaged during washdowns. 2 MOUNTING THE 6000M SPEAKERS The 6000m speakers use a unique mounting bracket that works with various tube sizes and flat mounting surfaces. The speakers also incorporate a swivel feature that allows you to easily turn them once they're mounted. TUBE-MOUNTING The 6000m speakers can accommodate tower tubes that range from 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" in diameter. The top of the mounting bracket is made with two cutouts that allow the bracket to easily adjust to the tower. Simply rotate the bracket 90 degrees, depending on your application. Position the bottom bracket with the speaker and top bracket in place on the tower. Install the supplied 2-1/2" bolts through the top bracket and tighten in place using a 5mm hex-key wrench. While tightening the bolts, keep the bottom bracket parallel with the top bracket at all four corners of the bracket. Take special care not to overtighten the screws. Overtightening the screws may cause excess stress to the bracket and cause it to fracture. See Figure 1. NOTE: There are four pre-tapped mounting holes (1/4-20 thread) on the top of each speaker bracket that can be used for mounting accessories, such as lighting. See Figure 2. Figure 1. Clamping the brackets down. SURFACE-MOUNTING Some towers may have a flat support panel used to mount accessories such as lighting, board holders, radars, antennas or other accessories. If you wish to mount the 6000m speakers to this panel, use the 2-1/2" screws to clamp the bracket together, as shown in Figure 2. Using the four mounting holes in the top of the bracket, align the speaker with holes on the mounting plate on the tower. If there are no holes in the panel, use the bracket as a template to mark the locations of the four holes. Drill four new holes in the panel. DO NOT drill through the holes in the bracket. Insert the 1-1/4" bolts using the large washers and tighten using a 5mm hex-key wrench. Figure 2. Surface-mounting. SWIVELING THE SPEAKERS Located at the base of the speaker mounting bracket is a swivel-lock pin. Pull this pin up in order to swivel the speaker 270 degrees at 45-degree intervals. Once you have the speaker near the position that you want, release the pin and rotate the speaker until the pin locks in place. Figure 3. Pulling the swivel-lock pin up. CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS Connect the speakers to an amplifier using the supplied speaker wires. The weatherproof connectors allow for quick connection and disconnection of the wires when installing and removing the speakers. NOTE: The white-striped wire is the positive connection. Run the wires along the tube and secure in place with plastic zip ties. If the tube has wire holes available, run the speaker wires through the tower tubes to the amplifier. Check to make sure the wires will not come in contact with sharp edges or metal that can damage the wires over time. NOTE: The connectors are keyed to line up properly. Check for proper alignment before connecting. Figure 5. Key notch. Figure 4. Swiveling the speaker. 3 MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER Mount the 6100m or 2100m amplifier in a location that is away from direct contact with water, whether from washing, big waves or soggy riders. Choose a location in the boat where the amplifier will not be damaged by shifting cargo or passengers. If the amplifier is going to be under a seat, ensure that it is clear of all moving parts and will not affect the seat adjustments. If mounting the amplifier in an enclosed space, make sure there is plenty of air circulation for the amplifier to cool properly. POWER CONNECTIONS The 6100m/2100m amplifiers are capable of delivering high power levels, and require a reliable connection to the boat's electrical system in order to perform optimally. See Figure 7 for terminal location. Please adhere to the following instructions carefully: GND TERMINAL Connect the amplifier's Ground (GND) terminal directly to the boat's negative (­) battery terminal using a minimum of 8-gauge power wire. +12V TERMINAL Connect a minimum of 8-gauge power wire directly to the boat's positive battery terminal, and install an appropriate fuse holder within 18" of the battery terminal. Do not install the fuse at this time. Route the wire to the amplifier's location, and connect it to the amplifier's positive (+12V) terminal. Be sure to use appropriate grommets whenever routing wires through panels. Failure to adequately protect the positive wire from potential damage may result in a fire. When you are done routing and connecting this wire, you may install the fuse at the battery. NOTE: If your boat uses a multiple battery setup, please contact the boat manufacturer or dealer for proper connection instructions. REMOTE TERMINAL Connect the amplifier's REMOTE terminal to the source unit's Remote Turn-On lead, using a minimum of 18-gauge wire. If your source unit does not have a remote turn-on connection, connect the amplifier's REMOTE terminal to the boat's accessory circuit. NOTE: When using the Hi-level inputs, connect the REMOTE terminal to the source unit. REMOTE OUT If using additional amplifiers and tower speakers connect the REMOTE OUT terminal using a 1/4" spade connection to the Remote input terminal of the other amplifier. The REMOTE OUT works in conjuction with the Power switch on the microphone (please refer to page 5). LINE IN Connect to the source unit's line-level output using RCA cables. LINE OUT Can be used to pass signal from the Line In to additional amplifiers. Also has the option to pass paging information (refer to Page Ext switch). SPEAKER CONNECTIONS Refer to the application guides on the pages that follow. Speaker connections should be made using the supplied speaker wires. If additional wire is necessary, use a minimum of 16 awg. speaker wire. Minimum speaker impedances: 6100m amplifier 4 ohms, stereo 2100m amplifer 2 ohms, stereo/4 ohms, bridged HI-LEVEL INPUT CONNECTIONS The 6100m and 2100m amplifiers are equipped with speaker-level inputs that allow you to add an amplifier to head units that do not have RCA line outputs. The speaker outputs for the source unit should be connected to the amplifier using the supplied connector (square four-wire plug). Remember to check for proper polarity. Figure 6.
