FEATURES
The MAD component kit is made to be LOUD and last for years to come. We want to help you and your vehicle to be as LOUD as possible. We’ve made sure that is the case by using innovative and groundbreaking techniques that increase durability.
ALL-IN-ONE MADNESS
To those that are ready to play really LOUD – the PKl-64 component kit’s ready
for you. This all-in-one package includes two awesome PMl-64 midrange drivers,
two LOUD PTl-254 horn tweeters and two matching PXOl-24 crossovers. Everything
you need to kick ass and take names.
POWER OF PAPER
We’re referring to the pressed paper cone, of course. The MAD PMl-64 is made
for playing your favorite music, as loud as possible. When testing this
midrange driver, we noticed one thing: for that extra durability, the paper
cone needed some extra reinforcement. Now you’re ready to crank that volume
knob as hard as you can. We know you want to.
FOR THE TRULY CRAZY
Look out, this combo will blow your mind. The MAD PTl horn tweeter’s here to
kick some ass and show how crazy of a difference good tweeters make for a
sound system. This 1-inch horn tweeter with an aluminum cone will play really
LOUD and endure the toughest cruises!
ARE YOU LOUD ENOUGH?
This isn’t just some random speakers and tweeters, these bad boys were made
for a lifestyle, the SPL lifestyle! But beware, as soon as you have installed
your first pair, you’ll want to add even more speakers. And that’s OK. If
you’re ready to take the first step into the wonderful world of SPL; just add
an amplifier, hit play and make your friends jealous!
HOW TO
INSTALL COMPONENT KIT
Before installing your brand new component kit, make sure that you have
everything you need. Have the right tools ready, and make sure that you have
the necessary knowledge/ skill to perform the installation properly.
Preparation and knowledge is crucial!
The component kit includes three parts: the midrange woofers, the tweeters and
the crossovers. The crossover should be wired before the midrange woofer(s)
and the tweeter, it makes sure that the woofer(s) and tweeter [Plays on the
right part of the LOUD spectrum.
It is important to know the limits of your amplifier. Be sure to connect your sound system with a suitable impedance to optimize your sound system.
CROSSOVER FUNCTION
The crossover included with the PKl-64 component kit is made to give you an
awesome component kit that plays LOUD! It has outputs for both the midrange
woofer and the tweeter, so it is used as the bridge between the power source
and the component kit. You wanna go even louder? Connect a second PMl-64
speaker to each PXO1-24 crossover.
On the MAD PXO1-24 crossover you can adjust the tweeter level setting between
O or -6db to affect the tweeter attenuation. The switch is placed under the
lid of the crossover. Choose the low setting for LOUD, or the high setting for
LOUDER!
OPTIONAL CONNECTION
SPEAKER & TWEETER PLACEMENT
Now that you know how to connect your component kit, you need to decide where
to put it.
You will most likely have one or two possible locations to put the speakers
and tweeters depending on make and model. This is where the fun begins!
-
FRONT DOORS
The front right and left doors are typical positions for woofer placement! In some models you’ll find original speakers in the kickpanel – right in front of the doors in the footwell. -
BACK DOORS Some car models out there have a 2-way system in the back. If your car’s on the more luxurious side of the spectrum, you might find a component kit in both the front and rear.
A) DASH
The tweeter is usually placed here. Do you see a small grille around the left and right end of the dash? Awesome! Put your new tweeter here. If your car’s a bit older, you might not have a tweeter in your dash. No worries! Use the ANGLED SURFACE MOUNTING and you’re good.
B) A-pillar
In some cars, the tweeter is located in the A-pillar. Lucky you! This is a great location to put a tweeter, since it’s placed higher up and directly aimed at your ears. Place the tweeter with the ANGLED SURFACE MOUNTING and enjoy great sound!
TROUBLESHOOTING
NO POWER/SOUND
Check the speakers to make sure they’re not damaged. If your speakers don’t get any power, the most common issue is either in the wiring or in the amplifier. Use a multimeter to measure the amplifier’s voltage on the+ 12V terminal and the remote signal terminal. Use a multimeter to make sure that you have a negative ground connection. Check the built-in fuse (if there’s one} on the amplifier. If there’s no power coming through – control the fuse on the power cable. If it’s intact – make a full check of the wiring to ensure cable integrity.
Check all the speakers connected to your sound system. Check all the speaker cables and all the signal cables. Make sure that the crossover is correct installed. Check your head unit to make sure no settings are limiting the amplifier’s functions or the speakers. When all of the above has been tested/looked over, and all its as it should be but there’s still no sound, consult your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer.
UNWANTED NOISE
Start by looking over the speakers in the sound system so there is no damage or connection issue with the wiring. Make sure that your signal cables or speaker cables aren’t too close to the power cables. Check your amplifier’s grounding point and make sure that the surface is clean. When all of the above has been tested/looked over, and the unwanted noise does not vanish, consult your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer.
DISTORTION
Start by looking over the speakers in the sound system so there’s no damage or connection issue with the wiring. Check the speaker cables to make sure that the polarity isn’t reversed on one channel. Check the settings on the amplifier, make sure that the gain/level is set according to the amplifier’s instructions. If your amplifier has a boost function, turn it down or turn it off.
