EMPHASER EM-FDF1 Einbau & Bedienungsanleitung Seite 2

Congratulations!
And thank you for purchasing this high-quality component system dedicated to Ford Transit,
Transit Custom and related Turneo models.
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 parts of this component system have been carefully selected and precisely matched. The
Aluminum membrane 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 25 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 lot of fun with this outstanding speaker system.

Loosen the covers at the marked points with a plastic wedge and remove the screws behind
them.
The decorative strip has a panel in the area of the handle that is pushed out downwards with
the plastic wedge. Only then can the decorative strip be carefully levered out. Remove the
screws behind that connect the panel to the door panel.
The segment for the window lifters and mirror adjustment is levered out upwards. Remove
the screw behind.
The reflector is pushed back to remove it. Remove the screw behind.
Once all the screws have been removed, the door panel can be detached from the sheet metal
with a wide plastic wedge. Start at the bottom and work your way up piece by piece. Loosen
the Bowden cable from the door opener and the plugs from the fittings and the loudspeaker.
Loosen the screws of the original loudspeaker and replace it with the EMPHASER loudspeaker.
Assemble the door card in reverse order.
• Pro tip: We recommend to cover the area behind the speaker with an insulation mat to re-
duce resonance. Ask your specialist dealer about EMPHASER ESP-DM2 – this damping mat
is a combination of alubutyl and open-pore foam and perfectly suitable for the intended use.
Disassemble the A-pillar trim in the second step. Use a plastic wedge at the upper end to pry
the panel out of the lock. Detach the connection cable from the original tweeter and take it
out of the bracket. Insert the EMPHASER tweeter into the brackets.
Pay attention to the indentation on the edge of the tweeter grille, which specifies the exact
position fix the tweeter correctly. Plug the cable of the supplied tweeter crossover into the
original connection. The crossover can be placed near the windshield. Install the A-pillar trim.
The installation of the EMPHASER sound system is complete.
