Important recommendations
Before attempting any installation, check first how much space
is available to fit the speakers into the vehicle (cf plans on the
packaging), then proceed with the cutting. In the case of assembly
in original location, check that there is enough space between the
speaker and the protections grille.
• Ensure the speaker is clean from debris and metallic particles
that may be attached (especially after drilling).
• Clean before mounting the speakers.
Running period
IC VW 165, IS VW 155, IS VW 165 & IS VW 180 drive units use
the very latest components. To ensure such complex mechanical
elements work in harmony with each other, they must be allowed
to function correctly in this environment. Changes in temperature
and humidity are regarded as very hostile. In order to get the best
of your IC VW 165, IS VW 155, IS VW 165 & IS VW 180 speakers, a
running-in period must be respected to ensure they are ready for
this. We recommend that, once the system is ready for listening,
the drive units should be run-in with medium volume setting, with
music that has the full bandwidth of frequencies (sub-bass through
treble). This running-in period should last for a few weeks, to gain
the full potential. After which the excellent performance of your
IC VW 165, IS VW 155, IS VW 165 & IS VW 180 kits can be fully
appreciated.
