Mounting the Polk Audio DB572 marine speakers can be done using either the flush mount or surface mount method. Here are the steps for each method:

Flush Mount Tweeter Mounting:
1. Mark the center of the mounting spot and cut a 2" (50.8mm) diameter hole using a hole saw, drill bit, or razor knife.
2. Assemble the flush mount cup, clamp, and machine xxxx loosely.
3. Route the wires through the round opening in the bottom of the cup.
4. Press the assembly into the 2" (50.8mm) diameter hole until the clamp edge is below the mounting surface, then tighten the xxxx . The legs of the clamp can be bent outward by inserting a screwdriver through the holes in the cup while still mounted.
5. Connect the wires from the tweeter terminals of the crossover to the tweeter itself using the faston connectors. Connect the red wire from the (+) terminal of the crossover tweeter output to the red (+) wire from the tweeter.
6. Mount the tweeter by snapping it into the mounting cup.

Surface Mount Tweeter Mounting:
1. Using the base of the surface mount cup as a template, mark the xxxx hole and drill them using a 1/8" (3mm) drill bit. Drill a second hole (for the speaker wire) using a 3/16" (5mm) drill bit.
2. xxxx the surface mount cup to the panel.
3. Push the tweeter wires through the open area at the bottom of the cup and through the 3/16" (5mm) hole in the panel.
4. Connect the wires from the tweeter terminals of the crossover to the tweeter wires using faston connectors. Be sure to connect the red wire strand from the tweeter to the (+) terminal of the crossover tweeter output.
5. Mount the tweeter by snapping it into the mounting cup.
