Permanently extreme levels of over 85 dB can lead to irreparable damage to the hearing. Music systems with high amplifier output power can reach levels of 130 dB or more. Extreme levels can also hinder the perception of important traffic noises and distract from what is happening on the road.

In particular, any claims are forfeited through the use under competitive conditions.

• The soft gasket connects to the door panel

Crossover

High pass filter (@ 250 Hz / 6 dB/oct)

Important note! To replace the original speakers, door panels, and some other panels (e.g. on the A-pillar) need to be removed. This may require special lever tools in order not to damage the fastening clips on the panels. Therefore, it´s strongly recommended only having the components installed by a car audio workshop or similar specialists have the necessary tools available and sufficient experience in installing such components to avoid any damage to the trim parts, bodywork, paintwork or electrical equipment of the vehicle due to an incorrect installation

Respect the Music

Listening to music can be emotional, impressive, relaxing or enjoyable. At that, it doesn´t matter what kind of music is my personal favorite, whether it´s Instrumental, Jazz, Electro, Latin, Classic, Rock or any other music direction. However, audio reproduction quality at each desired volume is elementary. Some music styles require higher levels while others prefer soft tones. GROUND ZERO considers all the different wishes of customers during the development of new products. Along with this, the target is to create the most realistic sound, to transfer the soul of the music and the intention of the performer. Summarized to one phrase: RESPECT THE MUSIC!
