Kenwood CA-CUT14 Operation Manual - Page 2

Safety precautions WARNING The factory saddlebag hinges limit the size of the speaker magnet that can be used and allow the lids to open and close without issue. KENWOOD assumes ZERO RESPONSIBILITY for fitment issues, or water leaks when any speaker brand other than KENWOOD is used. Do Not Use "Thread Lock" or "Screw Glue" of any kind, as it destroys plastic and will cause part failure. Most speaker magnets are large and powerful. Credit cards and electronics can be sensitive to magnets, so please exercise caution in how you pack your saddlebags. Metal objects packed into your bags may end up stuck to the magnet, so please use caution when opening the lids. Magnets can also get hot when speakers are being played, especially at higher volumes. Please consider this when packing your saddlebags.

Remove the saddlebag from the bike and put it on a stable working surface (placing blankets, towels, etc. on your work surface will help to protect the paint). 2. The black circle in Fig 1.1 is where a 5/8" (16mm) hole will need to be drilled. This hole is where the supplied silicone grommet will go to allow the lid's speaker wire to pass through from the saddlebag. Use masking tape over the painted area to be drilled and start with a small bit, gradually working your way up to the 5/8" (16mm) hole. Drilling the hole with the lid still on is recommended.
