Speaker Installation Guidelines
Firstly, make sure that the speakers will fit in your chosen location. This may involve the removal of the standard vehicle speakers. Please use the mounting depth and hole cut dimensions as detailed in this manual for guidance.
- If necessary cut any material away to allow the speaker to sit correctly.
- Cut out the mounting hole and pre-drill any other fixing holes.
- Screw through both gasket and speaker until the speaker is securely fastened.
Speaker Installation
Find a suitable mounting location for the speaker.
Mark the mounting holes and pre drill the fixing hole with a 2mm drill bit. If
the grill is to be fitted then place it over the speaker and screw through
both the grill and the speaker using the provided screws. Be careful not to
over tighten the screws as it may cause damage to the grille.
Please follow the wiring diagrams and ensure that correct polarity is observed
as incorrect wiring may cause the speakers to be out of phase with the rest of
the system and result in a loss of bass.
Tweeter Connections
NOTE : Unless using an active crossover network, the 2.2uf 100v capacitor must be fitted in order to avoid damage to the tweeter.
