To install the JL Audio M7-12IB Marine Subwoofer with Transflective RGB LED Lighting, follow these steps:

1. Choose a flat mounting surface that has sufficient depth and air space behind it to accept the subwoofer.
2. Using a hole saw or jigsaw, cut an 8.875-inch (225 mm) diameter hole.
3. Route the speaker cable to the mounting location. For LED-equipped models, run wires to the speaker location for LED activation.
4. Place the woofer in the hole and mark the  xxxx  hole locations using a sharp, pointed tool.
5. Remove the woofer and drill a pilot hole in each of the  xxxx  locations. Use a hand-driven countersink tool on each hole to inhibit gel-coat cracking of fiberglass panels.
6. Connect the speaker wires from the amplifier to the woofer connections.
7. If equipped, connect the LED circuit leads.
8. Place the woofer, with its grille in place, into the opening, and while holding the speaker firmly in its mounting location, evenly snug the mounting screws in a criss-cross pattern, then hand tighten in a criss-cross pattern.
9. Non-standard installations may require different hardware. Always use marine-grade, stainless-steel fasteners for a secure installation.

Please refer to Diagram A and Diagram B in the owner's manual for visual guidance on the installation process. It is also recommended to have the subwoofer installed by an authorized JL Audio dealer for proper installation and to ensure the best performance.
