introduction About your new loudspeakers Thank you for purchasing the a/d/s/ 336PX loudspeaker system. The 336PX is without question the finest automotive loudspeaker a/d/s/ has ever produced. It reflects most refined technology combined with obsessive construction techniques to deliver unequalled performance. The 336PX is assembled by specially trained craftspeople with years of experience building a/d/s/ products.
Installation and connection The quality of the installation will affects the performance and reliability of all loudspeakers. Installation The high performance capability and construction methods used in the 336PX result in a more demanding installation than conventional loudspeakers. Therefore we strongly recommend that the 336PX be installed by an a/d/s/ authorized professional installer. A professional installation can reduce the risk of damage to either your car or your audio components.
Planning the installation The modular configuration of the 336PX makes it possible to mount the individual units in a variety of locations. However, due to the nature of the construction of the 336PX frames, high precision is required when cutting the mounting holes for installation of the woofer. Likewise the tweeter is designed for flush mounting only. You will need access to the area immediately behind the tweeter mounting panel in order to tighten the locking ring.
with slightly more than you are likely to need to reproduce the desired volume levels. This margin of reserve power will ensure that the amplifier will not attempt to deliver more than it’s design allows. Warning: Excessive sound pressure level can permanently damage your hearing. The maximum volume levels attainable with a/d/s/ speakers, combined with high power amplification, may exceed safe levels for extended listening.
woofer installation Remove the trim panels and inspect the installation locations before you cut and drill the holes required to mount the woofer. Removing the panel will also make it much easier to route wiring inside the door. Look for original equipment speaker installation cutouts that can often be used to install the woofers with little or no modifications. Use the template supplied to help you locate and mark the holes needed to install the speakers.
Set the woofer in the installation hole. If you are mounting the woofer to a hard surface, such as wood or metal, install a rubber gasket around the periphery of the mounting hole. Align the screw holes and drive in the six mounting screws. Gradually, tighten each in turn until the speaker is well seated. Take care to not over-tighten the screws. When the woofer is properly mounted install the metal grille in the speaker frame.
making the connection There are two sets of input terminals on each 336PX crossover. One set is the high-frequency input and output, with the other side the low-frequency input and output. Connect the wires from the woofer to the low frequency output terminals and the tweeter wires to the high frequency output terminals. The two sets of input terminals make it easy to bi-amplify or biwire the system. When the system is bi-amplified two amplifier channels are used to drive each 336PX.
There are two ways bi-amplification is typically accomplished. One is when both pairs of amplifier channels receive full range signals. The advanced a/d/s/ multi-channel amplifiers have facilities to tie the inputs together, making it easy to deliver signals simultaneously to multiple channels. With other amplifiers a set of “Y” cords may have to be used. The other, more common way to bi-amplify the 336PX is to use electronic crossovers.
adjustments When you have finished the physical installation and electrical connections, test the system. Turn on your radio/tape or CD player, but leave the volume control very low. Tune in a station or play a CD or tape, and check the individual drive units to make sure they are all operating. If you hear poor sound, distortion, or no sound, immediately turn off the system and see Troubleshooting. Operate the balance and fader controls to make sure all connections have been properly made.
The following is a brief guide to some typical problems, their probable causes, and recommended remedies. Should you encounter difficulties beyond the scope of this troubleshooting guide, consult your a/d/s/ dealer or your car stereo installer. Do not attempt your own repairs. Any repairs to the system must be made by a/d/s/ or an authorized a/d/s/ troubleshooting service facility. No sound, low or distorted sound Check all 12-volt power connections to your radio/tape or CD player and power amplifier.
