INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
**Introduction
**
ETON thanks you for purchasing this product.
ETON loudspeakers and amplifiers guarantee outstanding performance. The
electrical, mechanical and tonal properties are maintained throughout the
product’s service life. We wish you an enjoyable listening experience!
These instructions are designed to help you install your speaker correctly.
Please read the instructions carefully before you start installation and
connection. Audio sources such as your OEM radio may get distorted at high
volumes.
Please note that loud and heavily distorted signals may destroy your
loudspeaker.
Safety Instructions
Attention!
Please read all the warnings in this manual.
The information is in bold and serves to inform you of the potential danger of
personal injury or damage to property.
Damage to hearing
SUSTAINED EXPOSURE TO VOLUMES OVER 85dB MAY DAMAGE YOUR HEARING. AMPLIFIER-
OPERATED CAR HIFI SYSTEMS MAY PRODUCE SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS WELL OVER 130dB
AND PERMANENTLY IMPAIR YOUR HEARING. PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE AND AVOID SUCH
RISKS!
Volume and driver awareness
The use of music systems may prevent the driver from hearing important traffic
sounds and thereby constitute a driving hazard.
ETON accepts no liability for hearing loss, physical injury or damage to
property resulting from the use or misuse of its products.
Tweeters must always be separated accordingly by means of DSP filters,
crossovers or active filters, operation without filters can damage the
tweeters!
Tools
You will need the following tools, which you should have at hand.
- Screwdriver cross recess
- step drill up to 55 mm
- various HSS drills
- sharp knife
- crimping pliers for crimp connectors
- Insulating tape or heat shrink tubing
- Suitable glue (we recommend 2-component glue or high-quality hot glue) for gluing the tweeters behind the original grilles
Tweeter installation
The tweeters can be flush- and surface mounted. Consider that repeated opening
and closing of the car door can result in loosening of the tweeter fastening
devices, when the loudspeaker is mounted in the door panel.
Flush mounting: Use, if necesarry, a drilling template (not included) to cut a
suitabel hole. Lay the leading connector cable and mount the parts as shown in
figure 1.
Caution: Use care when removing interior trim panels. Car manufacturers
use a variety of fastening devices that can be damaged in the disassembly
process.
The speciality of the ETON mounting cabinet is that the tweeter element can be
turned and swiveled to achieve the optimum hearing path to your sitting
position. See figure 2.
Disassambly: To remove the tweeter element from the mounting cabinet,
turn the element to its middle position and place two round metal rods with
Ø1,0 mm to the limit in both openings right and left of the tweeter element.
By swiveling of the tweeter you can now move it upwards and remove it.
Surface mounting: Drill two holes for the fastening screws and one hole
for the leading connector cable using the mounting cabinet as a guide.
Consider the preferred incline of the mounting cabinet. Mount the parts as
shown in figure 3.
Installation of the tweeters behind the original grille / in the original
installation location.
The installation of the tweeters at the original installation location /
behind the original grille is at your own risk! Work carefully and controlled!
Since this is a universal fit tweeter, no plug and play installation can take
place. The tweeter can be placed behind the original grilles using suitable
adhesive. For this, however, in most cases the installation space must be
optimized, use appropriate tools. Proceed carefully, risk of injury! Cut
injuries! Always glue the tweeter from behind against the grille and make sure
that no glue can penetrate into the tweeter.
Connection
IMPORTANT!
Correct high frequency polarity in the vehicle
The correct polarity of tweeter to woofer is a decisive factor for the sound
quality of the entire sound system. A false polarity can even „destroy“ the
sound of the best loudspeaker system.
In some cases a polarity reversal (exchanged positive and negative poles) of
both tweeters can result in sound quality improvement. This can result from
the mounting position, from the distance between loudspeaker and listener or
also from the sound reflections in the vehicle. Since this is very specific,
it cannot be decided until the loudspeakers have been mounted in the vehicle.
Evaluation of the correct high frequency polarity
After the loudspeakers have been mounted in the vehicle, they are connected
with the included crossovers. At first the crossover should be placed in an
easily accessible position, preferably directly reachable from the driver‘s
seat. To recognize the correct polarity as a rule the operation of one channel
(either left or right) is sufficient.
The correct polarity of the tweeter can be avaluated most simply from the
volume.
Adjust the volume control so that the music can be clearly heard in its full
band with (high, mid and deep range).
Play a segment of music (about 20-30 seconds) and play close attention to the
reproduction. Stop the music and reverse the poles of the tweeter on the
crossover by exchanging the connecting cables (plus / minus). Listen to the
music segment again and try to answer the question which of both connections
was louder. Repeat the experiment until you are completely sure.
The louder reproduction shows the correct polarity of the system!
After the polarity has been decided upon tweeter level adjustment should be
reconsidered.
Tips:
- In the dark or with closed eyes the sound differences are usually more audible.
- Use a complex instrumental music segment with several acoustic instruments for the evaluation.
