Crossover Adjustments - EMPHASER GRAVITY ECP-G4 Anleitung

Pro advice: Even if the electrical phase of the speakers is correct, i.e. according to the
connection diagram, the resulting acoustic phase can deviate from the desired result
depending on the installation location and tweeter orientation. Therefore, you should
definitely try whether reversing the polarity of BOTH cables of the tweeter leads to a
more harmonious sound with better depth of soundstage.
CABLE CROSS SECTION
If longer distances from the amplifier to the crossovers have to be overcome, use good
quality speaker cables with a minimum cross section of 2.5 mm2. Failure to do so will affect
sound quality in a negative way.

CROSSOVER ADJUSTMENTS

Finally, the tweeter level is adjusted to the given vehicle acoustics and your own taste.
This volume level adjustment takes place via slide switch in the crossover and may also
be changed later after the system has run in.
0 dB position is usually the setting that provides a good tonal balance for most installs.
It is recommended for the most tweeter positions.
-3 dB as a general rule of thumb, this position is best for tweeters that are mounted
very close to the listener's head like window triangles or top of the door panels.
TESTING OF THE INSTALLED SYSTEM
Slowly turn up the volume of your head unit and listen for distorted sounds. If everything
appears to be okay and it just sounds right, check out the speaker balance of the left
and right side by adjusting the balance control of your head unit. Shifting the balance
to the left channel should provide you with sounds coming solely from the left speaker
system, while shifting the balance to the right should do the same for the right speakers.
If anything appears to be wrong, you must recheck the wiring of the x-overs, the amp or
the mid/woofers.
