Introduction – GROUND ZERO Loudspeakers
Thank you for choosing a GROUND ZERO product! This is the owner´s manual providing instructions on the operation and installation of this car audio loudspeaker system. Please, read it carefully. If you have any further questions, please contact your local car audio dealer or contact the customer support at www.ground-zero-audio.com or send your questions directly to [email protected] The loudspeakers are one of the most important parts of your car audio system. However, it will only be able to deliver its full performance when each part of the whole system is tuned carefully matching each other. Therefore, we recommend consulting a car audio specialist to compile the desired sound system, as well as for installation and tuning. We hope you will enjoy the sound quality when listening to your favorite music with an enthusiastic development by the Ground Zero engineering team!

Noise damping – basis for sound quality
Simple or thin surfaces and panels of the car´s body and in the vehicle´s interior tend by stimulation to vibrations, in particular by vibrations that arise while driving or when playing music with the speaker cones. In order to reduce the resulting booming, the natural resonance, means the frequency at which these surfaces resonate particularly strongly, must be reduced. For this purpose, the insulation of aluminum-butyl requires the largest possible mass. For this purpose, GROUND ZERO offers materials with different properties and basis weight. In addition, the GROUND ZERO range offers other products, such as self-adhesive aluminum plates or sound-absorbing foam mats, which improve the result even more. The bonding of these materials drastically changes the tendency of body parts to oscillate, which significantly reduces the unwanted noise level.

Verified with KLIPPEL®
GROUND ZERO is using the worldwide accepted KLIPPEL® R &D Analyzer KA3
measurement system for speaker development during the German in-house
development as well as for QC reporting for most production lines at the
factory. The results of LPM and LSI measurements are the basis for evaluating
and verifying further development enabling to offer perfectly working products
in any practical application. Continuous and advanced trainings for

Respect the Music
Listening to music can be emotional, impressive, relaxing or enjoyable. At that, it doesn´t really matter what kind of music is the personal favorite, whether it´s Instrumental, Jazz, Electro, Latin, Classic, Rock or any other music direction. However, audio reproduction quality at each desired volume is elementary. Some music styles require higher levels while others prefer the soft tones. GROUND ZERO considers all the different wishes of customers during the development of new products. Along with this, the target is to create the most realistic sound, to transfer the soul of the music and the intention of the performer. Summarized to one phrase: RESPECT THE MUSIC!
