MOUNTING
The first step of a successful install is to choose the best mounting locations for the twee-
ters and mid/woofers. Usually, cars come with factory speaker openings for mid/woofers.
If you cannot mount the mid/woofers to an existing factory cutout, the alternative is to
buy a set of car specific speaker mounting adapters, to provide a stable platform for the
mid/woofer mounting. In such a case, we recommend that you consult your authorized
EMPHASER dealer to ask for his assistance.
TWEETER PLACEMENT
The placement of the tweeters has a profound influence on the front staging of your
component system. Depending on the orientation and the relative height of the moun-
ting location of the tweeters, different loudness levels in the treble region will result and
there are also different frequency responses due to the directional characteristics of the
tweeters. In addition, the installation location of the tweeters also has an influence on
the spatial imaging of the systems. Due to the different distances of the sound, there can
be differences in the sum of the individual sound components of tweeter and bass-mi-
drange speaker around the crossover frequency. Therefore, if possible, care should be
taken to ensure that the distances between the ear and the woofer/tweeter are appro-
ximately equal. The volume of the tweeters can be adjusted via the two different output
cables of the crossover.
•
To determine the best tweeter location, it may be necessary to carry out short listen-
ing tests with the tweeter mounted to different locations inside the vehicle. For this,
double sided tape can be used.
•
Set all tone controls, i.e. pre-EQ, treble / bass and loudness functions of your head
unit to the neutral position first, before you attempt listening to the speakers installed
in your car.
The influence of the tweeter mounting location on the front staging is profound – and care
must be taken to achieve a good compromise between unobtrusive mounting and good
sound quality.
