INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
Make sure you have enough high quality speaker wire at hand, to reach all
1
the drivers and crossovers from their intended mounting locations! The
preferable cross-section is 2x2 .5mm² . Please note that for quality reasons,
speaker wire – e .g . to connect the amplifier to the crossover(s) - must be
purchased separately .
Before you attempt to mount the tweeter(s) or mid/woofer(s) to the doors
2
of your vehicle, check the available mounting depth! Always make sure the
speakers or crossovers do not impair the door or window functions .
Before you start any wiring work, speaker mounting etc, disconnect the
3
negative main wire lead from the battery! For your own safety...
Never run speaker wires over or through sharp edges . Use rubber grommets
4
to protect wires routed through sheet metal .

MOUNTING LOCATION

A solid front stage with good stereo imaging is the most difficult task to
achieve in a vehicle! Mostly because the speakers are placed where they will fit
easily, as opposed where they can perform best . In most cases, the
factory cutouts in the front doors of a vehicle – offer a stable and conveni-
ent mounting platform for the mid/woofers . In some cases you will need to
purchase car specific plastic adaptors that enable mounting Euro-DIN style mid/
woofers to the factory speaker cutouts .
The mounting location for the tweeters does have a profound and direct effect
on the stereo imaging of your component system install . Therefore, after
mounting the mid/woofers and crossovers – it is recommended to provisionally
fix the tweeters to different locations, to be able to choose the mounting spot
that offers best possible imaging .
Some mounting tips:
Place the tweeters where they have a direct and unobstructed path to the
1
listening area . The best visual location may not be the best sounding one!
Listen to the system with both tweeters connected to the crossovers in phase

Be sure to use the supplied foam gaskets when mounting the mid/woofers .

These gaskets enable an airtight seal between the mid/woofer mounting rim
and the speaker mounting hole, which is important to obtain the maximum
dynamic range in the upper bass range!
The installation of your component set is carried out best, following
