wiring harnesses, battery cables). 9. When connecting the amp, 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. For the 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. BP1204 INSTALLATION 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 that these are provided as a guideline and you may find that other placements may provide better results for your specific vehicle. • 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! BP1204 INSTALLATION Illuminite™ Lighting Hook-Up Dual’s patent-pending Illuminite bulb system and control circuitry provide for extraordinary blue illumination, allowing for creative, color-coordinated 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!

There are no serviceable parts inside or attached to the speaker assembly. The BP1204 is a sensitive electronic device. Removal of or tampering with any part of the speaker and/or its assemblies will damage the product and void the warranty.
