MID/WOOFER MOUNTING
You can install the Radical Audio mid/woofers directly into the factory speaker
mounting holes, because their Euro-DIN basket bolt hole configuration will fit to
a great variety of European and Asian cars.
a Remove the plastic grille and unscrew the factory installed 13 cm or 16.5 cm
fullrange speaker unit.
s Stick the RA mid/woofer into the OEM factory speaker cutout to see, if the
existing screw holes and the basket mounting holes align properly. If not,
you have to drill new holes with a 3mm drill bit.
d If the available clearance between the mid/woofer front side and the
backside of the factory grille is more than 10 mm, you can use the
"massbelt" steel rings supplied with this set. These rings are "sandwiched"
between the mounting surface and the mid/woofer unit. The advantage is
a totally even/level mounting surface, as well as higher total speaker mass,
taming down unwanted vibrations of the door panel.
f Attach the wires to the mid/woofer unit. Double-check for correct connection
polarity! Hold the mid/woofer in place and fix it with the provided screws. It
is recommended to use the supplied foam gaskets for an airtight seal.
g Remount the factory plastic grilles. While doing this, check for the clearance
between mid/woofer surround and the backside of OEM plastic grille. Allow
for at least 6mm of clearance – i.e. distance of the surround to any part
sticking out of the backside of the grille. If necessary, cut off plastic ribs that
could interfere with the surround or the cone when music is played.
