of important instructions. Failure to heed these instructions  
can result in injury or damage to the unit.  
To prevent injury and damage to the unit, please read and  
follow the instructions in this manual.  
If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself,  
have it installed by a qualified audio technician.  
Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-)  
terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or  
possible injury.  
Do not connect Amplifier or any audio source to illumination  
inputs. These inputs are designed for 12 volt power only.  
Illuminite inputs are designed for 12 volt DC power source only.  
Do NOT connect your illuminite product directly to your battery  
permanently, as it will cause your battery to discharge. Please use  
switched 12 volt source.

XOBP12D INSTALLATION  
Installation  
The following installation instructions are very basic. If you feel  
unsure about personally installing this speaker system, Dual  
recommends aquiring the services of a professional car audio  
installation center.  
Before installation, please review the following rules:  
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before  
attempting to install this product.  
2. For safety, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery prior to beginning  
the installation.  
3. For easier assembly: If additional wiring is required, we recommend  
running all wires prior to mounting your speaker in place.  
4. Use the highest quality connectors for a reliable installation and to  
minimize signal or power loss.  
5. Use caution before you drill or cut! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas  
tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical  
wiring when working on any vehicle.  
6. Never run speaker wires underneath your vehicle. Running speaker wires  
inside the vehicle provides the best protection from exhaust heat and  
environmental elements.  
7. Avoid running wires over, near, or through sharp edged surfaces. We  
suggest you also use rubber grommets to protect any wires routed  
through metal, especially the firewall.  
8. When running the speaker cable from the amplifier, avoid running it near  
sources of high current (i.e. wiring harnesses, battery cables).  
9. Amp connection: The positive (+) speaker output from the bass amp  
connects to the positive (+) terminal, and the negative output (-) connects  
to the negative (-) input terminal on the input cup located on the rear of  
the subwoofer enclosure. DO NOT CONNECT AMP OR ANY AUDIO SOURCE TO  
ILLUMINATION INPUTS AS DAMAGE TO LIGHTS WILL OCCUR.  
10. Illumination connection: The positive (+) output from your 12V system  
connects to the positive (+) input, and the negative (ground) connects to  
the negative (-) input on the input cup located on the rear of the subwoofer  
enclosure. Improper 12V polarity will not cause damage to the lights, but they  
will not illuminate.

XOBP12D GUIDELINES  
Enclosure Guidelines  
To achieve the best possible sound from this subwoofer enclosure, Dual recommends  
aquiring the services of a professional car audio installation center.  
If you feel confident in your ability to install this product without the assistance of a  
professional, please read this section thoroughly. We have provided a number of  
placement recommendations and installation tips to assist you. Keep in mind these  
are provided as a guideline and you may find that other placements specific to your  
vehicle may provide better results.  
Make sure all moving parts and factory electrical wires are out of the way and will not  
interfere after installation.  
Ensure the wire is of sufficient length to avoid pulling or stretching. This is even more  
important if the wires will be run under or through the factory interior.  
Use electrical tape and wire ties to ensure all wires are properly secured.  
Avoid installing speakers or electronics where they can be subject to moisture.  
Ensure the speaker wires are connected using correct polarity. The positive polarity is  
marked by a (+) sign. Incorrectly connected subwoofers will result in limited bass output.  
Ensure the Illuminite wires (12V) are connected using correct polarity. Do not connect an  
amplifier or any audio output source to the Illuminite inputs as doing so will cause  
permanent damage to the lighting elements.  
Speaker wire should be isolated from the vehicle's electrical system to avoid noise  
being picked up by the amplifiers.  
We recommend using 14 gauge or larger sized speaker wire to ensure your subwoofer  
receives the full power output of your amplifier.  
Remember to listen responsibly and respect your ears. Being exposed to sounds over  
125dB for even short periods of time can create permanent hearing loss!

XOBP12D INSTALLATION  
IlluminiteTM Lighting Hook-Up Recommendations  
Dual's patent-pending Illuminite bulb system and control circuitry provide for  
extraordinary blue illumination, allowing for creative color-coordinating installations.  
The interior of your vehicle will never sound or look ordinary again! Let your imagination  
take you there.  
The lighting features of all Illuminite products require a 12V power source to operate.  
The speaker has two distinct sets of input terminals. The first is labeled audio input  
and the second is labeled Illuminite lighting inputs. The inputs are clearly marked with a  
label positioned directly above the terminal housing. The polarity (+ and -) indicators for  
each set of inputs also appear on these labels.  
1. Do not connect your amplifier or any audio source to the Illuminite inputs. These inputs  
are designed for switched 12V DC power only. Do not connect directly to your battery  
permanently, as it will cause your battery to discharge. Please use a switched 12V source.  
2. See Fig. 1a, (illustrated wiring diagram) to be sure to maintain polarity. Be sure to connect  
to a switched 12 volt source. Proper connection would be the positive (+) 12V wire to the  
positive (+) Illuminite input terminal and the negative (-) Illuminite input terminal to a  
solid chassis ground.  
DO NOT CONNECT AMP OR ANY AUDIO SOURCE TO ILLUMINATION INPUTS.  
DAMAGE TO LIGHTS WILL OCCUR AND WARRANTY WILL BE VOID!

Notice: The XOBP12D Illuminite lights are not removable. There are no serviceable parts  
inside or attached to the speaker assembly. The XOBP12D is considered to be a sensitive  
electronic device. Removal or tampering with any part or portion of the speaker and/or  
its assemblies will damage the product and void the warranty.
