2. Neverrunwiresunderneaththevehicle.Runningthewiresinsidethevehicle

provides the best protection.

3. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic

grommets to protect any wires routed through metal.

4. Mountthespeakers/crossoversawayfromelectricalsources(otherthanthe

and other potential noise sources.

5. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from areas of extreme heat or

moisture.

Tweeters

1. When mounting the tweeter(s) in the door of a vehicle, make sure they do

not interfere with either the door or window operation.

2. Please refer to the Specifications section of this manual for proper

mounting diameter and depth of the tweeters.

Crossovers

1. Make sure there is a flat area large enough for the crossover to mount.

2. Forbestresults,mountthecrossover(s)nexttotheamplifierforadecorative

Asolidfrontstagewithagoodimageisoneofthemostdifficulttaskstoachieve

inavehicle.Nocarhastheoptimumlisteningenvironment.Thismakesproper

sound staging very difficult to accomplish. Most speakers tend to be placed

where they will fit easily, as opposed to where they can perform the best.

The

of your stereo system. The special care taken to place the speakers will yield

many hours of listening enjoyment in return. Several important recommenda-

tions should be followed.

• Placethespeakerswheretheyhaveadirect

path to the listening area.

• Forthebestintegrationbetweenthemidrange

and tweeter, the tweeter should be placed

lessthan2"from themidrange.(Figure1)

• If you cannot place the tweeter less than 2"

from the midrange, then place the tweeter

more than 7" from the midrange. Placing

the tweeter 2"-7" from the midrange can

cause destructive interference (frequency

response problems) which will affect the

speaker's ability to reproduce the frequency range around the crossover

frequency of the system.

• Wheneverpossible,placethetweeterdirectlyaboveorbelowthemidrange

as this maximizes the imaging (point source) capability of the speakers.

midrange and tweeter. Figure 2-B displays a vertical alignment between

the midrange and tweeter. With a vertical alignment, the path length

difference between the midrange and tweeter are reduced to a minimum.

The result is a negligible difference in path lengths between the midrange

and tweeter regardless of the proximity of the listener to the speakers.

Mountingthespeaker withminimumpath length differencewillensure the

best staging and imaging possible from your audio system.
