Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, refer to the troubleshooting section in the user manual. It covers common problems such as no power/sound, unwanted noise, and distortion.
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, turn it down or turn it off.

You’re ready to take the next step, to enter a world of NO COMPROMISES with a component kit that will take your car to a whole new level. So get out there and impress the non-believers! Show them that true dedication comes from the inside of your car and that “good enough” just doesn’t cut it.
THE SUM OF AWESOME
With a high-quality ferrite motor, copper wire voice coil, aluminum former, and copper shorting ring, the GAS MAX K2-64 has a strong and stable foundation for the speaker. It ensures that the speaker can deliver crisp, clear, and powerful audio that exceeds your expectations. But we didn’t stop there. The MAX series is all about quality, which is why we used an aluminum basket and metal tweeter housing. This speaker is built to handle anything you throw at it, rough and tough conditions are not an issue, thanks to the DVS ventilated basket and back plate with the beautiful GAS A Star pattern.
NEXT LEVEL WEATHER RESISTANCE
Sweden, where the GAS speakers are designed, is known for its harsh climate. It’s cold, warm, wet, windy – we got it all, and on any given day you might even experience them all at the same time. Just for this reason the MAX K2-64 features an A3D Lightweight pressed paper cone with WRC (Water Repellent Coating). This cone is strong, with high sensitivity and of course totally weather resistant. This means that you can enjoy your music, no matter the climate or weather.
WHEN ”GOOD” ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH
The GAS MAX K2-64 kit also features a low Fs design midwoofer, which reproduces not only the midrange spectrum but also the vital midwoofer experience with great authority and dynamics. The NBR suspension & Polycotton/Nomex spider provides impressive detailed and responsive sound reproduction, and the silk dome tweeter delivers clear and brilliant highs without getting harsh. In other words, you’ll be able to hear every detail, making your favorite music sound bolder and more lifelike.
EASY TO INSTALL
To give you better and easier mounting options, we’ve also included separate crossovers. You can even choose between passive or active use of the tweeter and midwoofer. The speaker comes with the beloved S2 Crosshead terminal, which allows you to choose either the flat pin connector or connect with a crosshead screw, giving you the best of both worlds.
HEAR THE DIFFERENCE
Finally, the speakers come included with hexagon patterned grilles with an aluminum badge, which protects the speaker and keeps your build stylish. The aluminum badge adds a touch of elegance to your car audio system. Upgrade your car audio with the GAS MAX K2-64 component speaker and experience the sound difference (and quality) for yourself.

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 know- ledge/skill to perform the installation properly. Preparation and knowledge is crucial!
The component kit includes three main parts: the midrange woofers, the tweeters and dual crossovers. The crossovers should be wired before the midrange woofer and the tweeter. They make sure that the woofer and tweeter plays on the right part of the LOUD spectrum.
STANDARD CONNECTION WITH CONNECTED CROSSOVERS: BI-AMP CONNECTION WITH SEPARATED CROSSOVERS:

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!

1. 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.

2. BACK DOORS
   Some car models out there have a 2-way system in the back. If your car’s on the more luxu- rious 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 to begin with.

   • 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.

CROSSOVER FUNCTIONS

The two crossover models included with the K2-64 speakers are made to give you a maximized sound experience! The crossovers consist of one separate high pass and one low pass filter for each L/R channel. MAX TX02-14 is a 12db tweeter high pass filter with phase and level settings. MAX WX02-14 is a 6db midwoofer low pass filter. There are several options to connect the crossovers with both passive and active set-ups (see pages 9 & 10 for wiring schematics).
