These speakers have a 7 x 10-inch size and feature a bass driver, midrange driver, and tweeter. The silk dome tweeter measures 25 mm, while the mylar midrange driver measures 20 mm. The speakers have an impedance of 4 ohms and a maximum RMS power of 120 watts. The frequency range of these speakers is 30Hz – 20 kHz.

- It is important to perform a correct installation to ensure optimal sound performance. The speakers should be connected using high-quality speaker cables, and the polarity should be observed when connecting the cables to the terminals.
- Before using the speakers at their full potential, it is recommended to allow a break-in period of at least 15-20 hours at normal volume.
- The DLS Performance Speakers M3710i come with a warranty, and warranty service can be obtained by including the original dated receipt (or a copy) with the returned product.
Product Usage Instructions
- If you feel confident and have the proper tools, you can install the speakers yourself. However, if you are unsure, it is recommended to seek assistance from someone more experienced.
- Ensure that you use high-quality speaker cables and avoid jamming them to prevent short circuits.
- Connect the cables to the speakers with correct polarity, following the markings on the terminals. Connect the black cable to the small terminal for the woofer and tweeter/mid, and the blue cable to the big terminal for the woofer.
- To confirm correct speaker polarity, you can use a 1.5 Volt battery. Connect the battery plus-pole to the speaker plus and the battery minus to the speaker minus. The speaker cone should move in the same direction on both the right and left channels.
- Allow a break-in period of at least 15-20 hours at normal volume for optimal performance.
- If you require technical assistance, reach out to the shop where the product was sold, the distributor in your country, or contact DLS Svenska AB through email at info@dls.se. Additional information can be found on their website at www.dls.se.
Welcome
Thank you for buying a DLS speaker. Install the speakers yourself if you feel
confident with our instructions and if you have the proper tools. A poor
installation job can destroy the final result even from these speakers, so if
you feel unsure, turn over the installation job to someone better suited to
it.
Three-way coaxial system
These speakers have a very good sound but as always it is important to do a
correct installation.
Installation
Speaker drivers:
- These kinds of speakers are usually mounted in the car’s parcel shelf. In some older car’s it may also be possible to install them in the door. We recommend you to install the drivers in a strong baffle of MDF-board or similar, this will improve the sound very much. It is important to fasten the speakers properly in order to avoid bad sound or rattling.
- The speakers are heavy so they must be fastened securely to prevent danger to occupants in a collision or sudden braking.
Filter boxes:
We use separate crossovers (filters) with high class components to these
speakers in order to get the best possible sound. Attach the filter boxes
properly to the interior of the vehicle to avoid rattling. Don’t place them
close to the internal wiring of the car, this can cause interference. Install
the filter boxes in a dry place. Fasten them with wire ties. Connect them as
in the drawing in this manual. The filters must be used, if you connect
without them the sound becomes bad and you will destroy the tweeter.
Wiring
Use high quality speaker cables. Make sure the cables don’t get jammed causing a short circuit to ground. This can damage the output circuits of your head unit or amplifier.
Break-in period
Allow the speakers to play at normal volume for at least 15-20 hours. After
this time the performance will be correct.
Warranty service
This speaker is covered by warranty, depending on the conditions in the country where it is sold. If the speaker is returned for service, please include the original dated receipt (or a copy) with the product.
Connection of speakers
Make sure you connect the cables with correct polarity to the speakers.
Observe the markings on the terminals.

Speaker phasing
To be sure to have the correct speaker polarity (phase) you can check this by using a 1,5 Volt battery. Connect a cable from the battery plus-pole to the speaker plus, and a cable from the battery minus to the speaker minus. When the speakers are correctly connected the speaker cone should move in the same direction on both right and left channel. This check must be made on the cables going from the speakers, to the output terminals of your car stereo or amplifier.
