Set Content - EMPHASER EM-VWF1 Einbau & Bedienungsanleitung

Congratulations!
And thank you for purchasing this high quality component system dedicated to the
Volkswagen T5.
If you plan on installing the system by yourself, please read the following instructions
carefully before you attempt the installation. For any further information about this product,
please contact your authorized EMPHASER dealer.
ABOUT THIS LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM
All components of this component system have been carefully selected and precisely
matched. The Aluminum cone of the woofers is due to its hardness and the high natural
resonance frequency ideally suited for a detailed and extremely low-distortion reproduction
quality in the intended area of application. The 28 mm silk dome tweeter convinces with its
brilliant sound and the ability to produce even the finest musical details. At the heart of the
systems are the elaborately designed crossovers: the parts have been defined in intensive
test series in the laboratory as well as in the vehicle, to achieve the best possible phasing of
the tweeters and woofers in the crossover frequency band. The result is immersive musical
enjoyment with vivid natural voices and instruments and their positioning on the imaginary
soundstage as well as an impressive depth of soundstage. EMPHASER wishes you a lots
of fun with this outstanding speaker system.

ASSEMBLY
This set is compatible with the Volkswagen T5. For step-by-step instructions on how to cor-
rectly disassemble the original loudspeakers of your vehicle, please contact the respective
service workshop. A T5 California serves as an example for these instructions.
(Fig. 1) Use a wide plastic wedge to carefully loosen the cover of the grip shell. Start at the
end of the cover and work your way forward piece by piece towards the mirror triangle.
Loosen the connection cable on the grip shell and loosen the following six screws.

(Fig. 2) Now pry the door trim off the door panel. Use a plastic lever tool with a wide contact
surface to prevent damage to the paneling and the paint. Start at the bottom of the door and
work your way up bit by bit. When all clips are released, pull the panel carefully upwards.
Then unhook the Bowden cable from the door lever.
To remove the rivets, use a metal drill with a diameter of 7.5 mm or larger and carefully drill
the rivet head. Take out the speaker and remove the remains of the rivets.
Insert the EMPHASER woofer and fix it with the provided rivets. Plug the connection cable
into the speaker.

For tweeter mounting, carefully remove the cover on the dashboard with a suitable plastic
wedge. Be careful not to break off the cover brackets. Loosen the three screws of the
tweeter bridge and unplug the cable. Find a suitable place for the EMPHASER crossover.
The connection cables are long enough to place the crossover behind the dashboard, for
example. Route the input cable to the original connector of the tweeter bridge; connect the
output cable to the plug of the EMPHASER tweeter. Fix the tweeter with the three original
screws and mount the cover. The installation of the Emphaser sound system is complete.
• Pro tip: We recommend covering the area behind the speaker with an insulation mat
to reduce resonance. Ask your specialist dealer about Zealum ZN-FINISH - this damping
mat is a combination of alubutyl and open-pore foam and perfectly suitable for the intended
use.
