Why Replace the HDS3000 With the REI 760663?
The REI 760663 is a strong current alternative to the discontinued Jensen HDS3000. Both products provide enclosed 5-inch speakers that mount on a surface, eliminating the need to cut large openings for conventional flush-mount speakers.
The REI enclosure is more compact and easier to position in equipment where available space is limited. Its adjustable mounting design allows each speaker to be aimed toward the operator for better sound inside a noisy cab.

Important Replacement Differences
The REI 760663 is a recommended alternative, but it is not an identical bolt-for-bolt replacement for the HDS3000. Before ordering, compare the available mounting area and bracket-hole locations.
The existing speaker wires can normally be reused when they are in good condition, but the wire ends or connectors may need to be adapted. Both speaker systems use a standard 4-ohm configuration and are sold as a pair.

Why Choose Enclosed Surface-Mount Speakers?
Surface-mount speakers are an excellent choice when cutting a large speaker opening is difficult or undesirable. The complete speaker enclosure mounts to a solid surface and can be positioned toward the operator.
This makes the REI 760663 suitable for equipment cabs, overhead panels, sidewalls and other locations where conventional flush-mount speakers will not fit. The enclosed design also provides a finished installation without requiring the equipment panel to serve as the speaker enclosure.

Before Ordering
Measure the available mounting area before ordering. Each REI 760663 enclosure measures approximately 5.42 inches wide, 5.42 inches high and 4.3 inches deep.
Confirm that the mounting surface is solid, that the speakers can be aimed toward the operator and that there is enough clearance for the brackets and wiring. Do not assume the HDS3000 mounting holes will align with the REI 760663 brackets.

Installation Guidance
Mount each speaker bracket to a solid surface using hardware appropriate for the material and application. Position the speakers where the grilles will not be blocked and aim them toward the normal operating position.
Connect the speakers to the radio’s left and right speaker outputs while maintaining correct polarity. Avoid mounting the speakers where controls, visibility, doors or protective equipment could be obstructed.
