Speaker Installation Guidelines Firstly, make sure that the speakers will fit in your chosen location. This may involve the removal of the standard vehicle speakers. Please use the mounting depth and hole cut dimensions as detailed in this manual for guidance. • If necessary cut any material away to allow the speaker to sit correctly. • Cut out the mounting hole and pre-drill any other fixing holes. • Screw through both gasket and speaker until the speaker is securely fastened.
Tweeter Installation Guidelines The tweeter can either be fitted flush or surface mount. Try and take into account the following when locating a suitable position. For optimum staging try and locate a position that is higher than the woofer but within twelve inches (maximum) of it. It is vital that the tweeter is adjusted so that it is focused towards the listener. Surface Mount Installation After finding a suitable position for the tweeters, place the base of the tweeter casing in the correct position.
Angled Surface Mount Installation After finding a suitable position for the tweeters, place the base of the tweeter casing in the correct position. Using the base, mark a hole for the wire to pass through. Cut out this hole using an 8mm drill for the cable and ensure that the hole cut for the cable is big enough and will not cause the cable to become chaffed in any way. Pass the tweeter cable through the bottom of the base and through the previously drilled hole.
Flush Mount Installation • After finding a suitable position for the tweeters place the cut out template for the tweeter in position and mark around it. • Before cutting the holes double check that no brake, fuel lines or wiring harnesses are likely to get damaged. • Ensure that the tweeter when fitted will not catch on any moving parts such as door / window handles. • If mounting in a door check that the window can still be fully lowered before installing. • Cut out the hole carefully.
Connections • Connect the speaker to the speaker wiring in the vehicle ensuring that correct polarity is observed. Positive: Black / White stripe Negative: Black Crossover Attenuation The crossover allows for the tweeter to be attenuated by -3dB, this is particularly useful if the tweeter is mounted on axis. To select the tweeter output, place the jumper in either the 0dB (no attenuation) or -3dB (attenuated) pins on the crossover PCB.
