FEATURES

The MAD coaxial speakers are 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.
WREAK SOME HAVOC
The louder it gets, the happier we are. Just for this reason, we’ve created something extraordinary. A full range 6.5 inch coaxial speaker that’s full of pure SPL potential. Put the MAD PX2-64 wherever you can: an enclosure, a car door, the rear shelf or whatever. It’s all up to you, but make sure that you’re the envy of everyone you know. Show them what you got and make it as LOUD as you possibly can!
PASSIONATE ABOUT LOUD
Get ready to queue your favorite song and push your sound system to the edge! The MAD PX2-64 is equipped with a reinforced paper cone and Piezoelectric tweeter that can handle your awesome music taste. It’s built for SPL, resistant to overloads and full range enhanced. One speaker to do it all, and do it really well.
BUILT TO BE CRAZY
We could talk about this speaker all day long. The MAD PX2-64 has the same 3R Cloth surround as the PM2 midrange speakers to give you the right moves, just like you want it. While you’re showing off your friends what you’ve got, the copper shorting ring lowers distortion and the DVS ventilation takes care of all the heat. This coaxial speaker got your back and will bring the best out of your favorite tunes!
DOING IT THE SPL WAY
You can do better than two pairs of speakers, come on! More is always better, and we want you to be as LOUD as you possibly can. To make this easier, we’ve placed two S2 Screw/ Spade Crosshead terminals on the speaker. So you can build, expand and upgrade your sound system without wasting time on installation.

HOW TO

INSTALL SPEAKERS
Before installing your brand new speakers, 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 MAD PX2-64 uses a single 4 Ohm voice coil. If you want to connect four or more PX2-64 series speakers, you can vary the impedance by altering the wiring configuration to use a series or parallel setup. The more the merrier!
Make sure to look through the recommended wiring schematics below and choose the setup that corresponds with the number of speakers in your sound system. Take note of the impedance stability of your amplifier. Don’t be afraid to consult your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer if you have any questions.
**** 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.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Wiring tutorial – check! Now you know how to connect cables and speakers correctly, but where do you place the speakers? You will most likely have one or two possible locations to put the speakers depending on make and model. This is where the fun begins!

1. FRONT DOORS
   The front right and left doors are typical positions of speakers in older cars. In some models you’ll find original speakers in the kickpanel – right in front of the doors in the footwell.

2. BACK DOORS
   If your car’s on the newer side of the spectrum, you might find OEM coaxial speakers here and component speakers in the front. Friends in the back seat need awesome sound too!

3. REAR SHELF
   If you don’t have speakers here, you’re missing out! The rear shelf is a popular location by sound enthusiasts and some car manufacturers for speakers. If you don’t have it – ADD it!

4. DASH
   This speaker placement has been used in some older car models. In some sound systems, a coaxial speaker might be used as a midrange/tweeter, for which this placement is great.

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. 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 is 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, lower its effect or turniit off.
