Do not expose the wiring to your new speaker to excessive damp or moisture.
If the speaker’s wiring is exposed it might result in electric failure, shock or damage to the product. Servicing is required when the product has been damaged in any way and/or doesn’t operate normally. Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel only.
Keep the cables inside the vehicle separate from sharp edges or components that may be affected or take damage. Follow the recommended cable sizes and always use high quality cables and accessories. Even if you’re eager to put the speakers to use – take no shortcuts when installing the cables, make sure that all connectors are protected and secured.

There is a ﬁrst time for everything, if you need help – ask a friend or contact your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer.

HOW TO

INSTALL TWEETER
Before installing your brand new tweeters, make sure you have everything you need. Have the right tools ready, and make sure you have the know-how/skills to perform the installation properly. Preparation and knowledge is crucial!
The MAD PT1 tweeter comes with a pre-soldered 30cm HQ cable and on the cable there is a pre-connected 3.3uF MKT capacitor. This will help make the installation smooth and simple. The PT1 tweeter uses a 4 Ohm voice coil.
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.

**** Do NOT use the tweeters without installing a crossover. Use the pre- soldered capacitor that is included or an active cross over at the recommended settings.
Recommended crossover:

FRONT DOORS
The front right and left doors are typical positions for woofers, but in some models you’ll ﬁnd tweeters here as well that is complementing the woofers.

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 turn it off.
