General instructions

General instructions for MATCH UPGRADE speaker systems for Mercedes vehicles
The MATCH UPGRADE UP T1MB-FRT is a tweeter upgrade kit for Mercedes vehicles with standard sound system which will be mounted in the origi-nal speaker location. To reach the maximum sound quality, we recommend to use a separate DSP am-plifier.

General installation instructions for MATCH components

• To prevent damage to the speakers and possible in-jury, read this manual carefully and follow all instal-lation instructions. This product has been checked for proper function prior to shipping and is guaran-teed against manufacturing defects.
• For a proper performance and to ensure full war-ranty coverage, we strongly recommend to get this product installed by an authorized MATCH dealer.

General instruction for installing MATCH speaker systems

• The method of installation chosen and level of execution will effect the overall performance of the speaker system. Treat each installation step with a high degree of attention.
• We strongly recommend that you operate the complete audio system at low volume before final installation. This will allow a trial listening test before securing the loudspeakers into their mounting locations.
• Install the cabling in a manner which precludes any danger of the leads being exposed to shear, crushing or rupture forces. If there are sharp edges in the vicinity (e.g. holes in the bodywork) all cables must be cushioned and protected to prevent fraying.
• Make sure that all speaker wires easily reach the speaker terminals without stress on the wire or connectors.
• Once you have tested the complete speaker system and have confirmed correct operation, turn the audio system off and prepare the loudspeaker for final mounting.

Installation

Removal of the door panel and tweeter protective cover

• In order to install the MATCH tweeter upgrade kit it is mandatory to remove the front door panels and mirror triangles.
• If you are uncertain how to remove the panel / protective cover, please either ask your local Mercedes dealer or an experienced car audio dealer for assistance. In any case follow the instructions of the car manufacturer.
• Please pay attention to the following notes:
  1. The cover is fastened with several hidden screws to the metal sheet of the car. Make sure that you have loosened all screws before you try to re-move the cover.
  2. Additionally the cover is fixed by numerous plastic clips, which may be damaged during the dis-assembly when the ambient temperature is be-low 10°C. Always pull the cover horizontally to loosen the clips – never apply any vertical force. Note that broken plastic clips have to be replaced before reinstalling the cover in order to avoid undesired rattle and noise.

Installation of the UP T1MB-FRT tweeter UPGRADE kit

• Vehicles without original tweeter:

  • After removing the door panel and mirror triangle, disconnect the original speaker cable harness from the original midrange speaker.

  • Then connect the “IN” connection cable of the MATCH crossover to the original cable harness and the “MID” connection cable to the original midrange speaker.

  • Next, press the MATCH tweeter UP S1MB-FRT into the original installation slot of the mirror triangle. If you have a vehicle without tweeter installation slot, you can purchase a cover with tweeter mount as a spare part from your Mercedes dealer.
    Important: Make sure that all anchoring supports of the tweeter are correctly engaged.

  • After the tweeter is installed, connect it to the cross-over.

• Vehicles with factory installed tweeter:

  • Disconnect the original speaker cable harness from the original tweeter. Then extract the original tweet-er out of the mirror triangle and replace it by the new MATCH tweeter UP S1MB-FRT.
  • After the tweeter is installed, connect it to the cross-over. Then connect the “IN” connection cable of the MATCH crossover to the original cable harness. The “MID” connection cable of the crossover re-mains unused in this case.
  • The crossover is equipped with a 3-stage tweeter level adjustment. It allows to adjust the level of the connected tweeter.
  • Therefore adjust the switch which is located at the top of the crossover to the desired switch position.
  • 0 dB: The tweeter is driven without volume reduction.
  • – 3 dB: The level of the tweeter is reduced by 3 dB.
  • – 6 dB: If you choose this switch setting, the level of the tweeter is reduced by 6 dB.
  • Next, the crossover should be properly fixed to the cover, e.g. by using some strong, double- sided adhesive tape or hot glue. Make sure that you choose an appropriate recess in the cover as position for the crossover network itself, so that it does not collide with any other part when you reassemble the cover.
