MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Do not use your automobile until all components of the loudspeaker
system have been secured to the interior framework. Failure to do so
may turn a component into a dangerous, flying projectile during a
sudden stop or accident.
Do not drill or drive screws through any vehicle interior or carpeted
floor before inspecting the underside for potential punctures to control
lines or cables. Be sure to avoid all fuel lines, brake lines, electrical
cables or oil lines when planning the installation.
Before beginning installation of the loudspeaker system remove the
minus connector from the automobile battery in order to avoid
possible short circuits.
Choosing a Location
For ease of installation use original factory speaker locations. Using these
positions will save considerable installation time and provide the best optical
integration. Avoid installing speakers behind thick stock fabric or cloth. This
could - especially in the case of tweeters - restrict output and reduce sound
volume.
Installation too close to reflective surfaces can negatively affect stereo imaging.
The distance between each mid/woofer and tweeter pair should not exceed 60
cm. We suggest first mounting the mid/woofer and attaching the cables. Then
you can determine the optimum tweeter location by auditioning the tweeters at
several positions in your automobile before permanent installation.
Installation of Mid/Woofer
If it is not possible to install the loudspeaker in the original factory speaker
location, the most used position is the door panel.
1.
After choosing a location, carefully remove the trim panels. Be sure
that sufficient mounting depth is available and that no moveable
mechanical parts (window, window regulator handle) are restricted in
their functionality.
Caution: Use care when removing interior trim panels. Car manu-
facturers use a variety of fastening devices that can be damaged in the
disassembly process.
2.
Use the enclosed drilling template to cut a suitable hole in the trim
panel and, if necessary, in the sheet metal behind. Drill holes for the
fastening screws. Mount the parts as shown in figure 1.
Attention: If sheet metal must be cut or removed contact your
authorized car dealer for professional advice. By damage to sup-
porting body structures the safety certificate may be withdrawn.
3.
If you plan to use grilles or panels in front of the loudspeaker, ensure
that sufficient space is available for the path of the loudspeaker co ne .
Should the distance not be sufficient, the cone could vibrate
against the grille or panel thus damaging the loudspeaker.
Installing the Tweeters
The tweeters can be flush- and surface-mounted. Consider that repeated
opening and closing of the car door can result in loosening of the tweeter
fastening devices, when the loudspeaker is mounted in the door panel.
1.
Flush mounting: Use the enclosed drilling template to cut a suit-
able hole. Lay the leading connector cable and mount the parts as
Caution: Use care when removing interior trim panels. Car manu-
facturers use a variety of fastening devices that can be damaged in the
disassembly process.
The specialty of the ETON mounting cabinet is that the tweeter ele-
ment can be turned and swiveled to achieve the optimum hearing
path to your sitting position. See figure 3.
Disassambly: To remove the tweeter element from the mounting
cabinet turn the element to its middle position and place two round
metal rods with a diameter of 1,0 mm to the limit in both openings
right and left of the tweeter element. By swiveling of the tweeter you
can now move it upwards and remove it.
2.
Surface mounting: Drill two holes for the fastening screws and one
hole for the leading connector cable using the mounting cabinet as
a guide. Consider the preferred incline of the mounting cabinet.
Mount the parts as shown in figure 4.
