INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE
Installation of Bass Habit speakers may require experience with a variety of mechanical procedures including cable wiring, drilling, etc. This manual only provides general installation and operation instructions. If you have any reservations about your installation skills, please contact your local authorized Bass Habit dealer for help.
CHOOSING SPEAKER MOUNTING LOCATIONS
Choosing the correct speaker mounting location will have the greatest effect of the sound quality of the system. There are many different considerations needed when choosing the location(s) that best meet your needs. The location(s) must be large enough for the speakers to fit. Care is needed to ensure that the desired location will not affect either the mechanical or electrical operation of the vehicle.
WARNING! The use of silicone rubber to seal in a speaker will void the warranty. If any sealing is needed in addition to the speaker’s gasket, use caulking cord or vinyl weather strip.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
NOTE: The tools listed below may be required for basic installation:

• An electric drill with bits.
• Saber and jig saw.
• Phillips-head and standard screwdrivers.
• Wire strippers.
• Crimping tool and needle-nose pliers.
• Closed cell weather-stripping (for the speakers), Silicone sealant (for enclosures).

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

NOTE: Proceed only if you are a qualified installer, otherwise let your dealer do it.

• Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
• Turn off all stereo and other electrical devices before you begin.
• Disconnect the (-) negative lead from your vehicle’s battery.
• Keep the speakers in the package until final installation, and always rest it with the cone facing up.
• Never use force when installing a speaker.
• Locate all fuel lines, brake lines, oil lines and electrical cables when planning your installation.

DOOR MOUNTING

INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLING THE COAXIAL SPEAKER

1. Determine where the speaker will be mounted. Make sure there is a flat area large enough for the speaker to fit properly. An uneven mounting surface can damage the driver.
2. Check to make sure the space you have selected for the speaker will not interfere with vehicle operation.
3. If a template is included in the packaging, use the template and mark the hole with a pen.
4. Cut the hole for the speaker. A hole can be cut either with a pair of metal tin snips, a saber or jig saw.
5. Run speaker wire (not included) to the speaker. Make sure to keep wires away from sharp metal or other rough edges. When passing through metal, use a grommet to protect the wires from sharp edges.
6. Pre drill the mounting holes using a 1/8” (3mm) drill bit.
7. Pull the wire through the speaker opening and connect to the speaker. Be sure to observe proper polarity.
8. Mount the speaker using good quality screws.

When checking for possible speaker locations in the doors, check the operation of the window and all assemblies. There is also a stabilizer stop bar in between the door and the door jam. This bar prevents the door from opening too far.

RECOMMENDED ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER SETTINGS
For optimum performance of your coaxial speaker we recommend the following crossover frequency point setting on each model. NOTE: Crossover settings will vary based on the speaker size.

• SE165CX HPF (High Pass) Crossover recommendation: 105Hz / 12dB or higher
• SE200CX HPF (High Pass) Crossover recommendation: 90Hz / 12dB or higher
• SE690CX HPF (High Pass) Crossover recommendation: 95Hz / 12dB or higher

WIRING EXAMPLES

Your SE165CX/SE200CX/SE690CX coaxial speaker uses a single 4 ohm voice coil. It is important to know the limits of your amplifier to optimize its performance. You can vary the impedance by altering the wiring configu- rations: Series, Parallel or Series-Parallel. Choose the wiring diagram below that corresponds to the number of speakers in your system and the impedance stability of your amplifier.
