TECHNICAL DESIGN FEATURES

◆Titanium Dome

The titanium dome used in the Power tweeter allows the voice coil

assembly to efficiently dissipate heat. This feature allows the tweeter

to be driven at higher operating levels without sacrificing sound

quality.

THE RESULT: High power handling with excellent response.

◆Neodymium Magnets

The high ionic compound of neodymium enables a smaller tweeter

magnet assembly to be used as opposed to the much larger ferrite

magnets that are commonly used in speaker manufacturing.

THE RESULT: An efficient magnet which allows smaller tweeter

construction.

◆Magnetic Fluid Cooling

Magnetic fluid is a synthetic liquid consisting of microscopic mag-

neticparticles.Thefluidhasfourtimesthethermalconductivityasair

whichmakes it an ideal cooling agent. Magnetic fluid is injected into

the voice coil gap which helps dissipate heat generated by the voice

coil.

THE RESULT: A thermal conductor which allows increased power

handling.

◆Swivel Mount Design

The tweeter is encapsulated in a variable swivel housing. This design

allows direct dispersion of the tweeter in order to accommodate

various mounting positions. The swivel mount design allows the

tweeter to maximize its sonic potential.

◆TPR Rubber Surround

TPR(ThermalPlasticRubber)isresilienttotemperaturevariationsand

provides a consistent support necessary for the linear motion of the

speaker cone. In addition, the inherent damping capabilities elimi-

natesthetransmissionofsonicdisturbancesbetweentheconeandthe

frameofthespeaker.Thisgreatlyimprovestheclarityofthespeaker's

midrange frequency response.

THE RESULT: Improves speaker's frequency response.

◆Flat Spider

The speaker's linear compliance is balanced through the use of a

“proprietary” flat spider design. A flat spider provides symmetrical

control of the voice coil through its cone excursion. Linear cone

excursion reduces harmonic distortion for improved sound quality.

THE RESULT: Reduces mechanical distortion for better sound quality

◆High Temperature Voice Coil

Thevoicecoilis ofahightemperature copper wireconstruction.The

wire is wound in two layers on a black, anodized, aluminum voice

coilformer.Thevoicecoilformerdissipatesheatawayfromthevoice

coil improving the speaker's thermal stability and improving the

reliability of the speaker.

THE RESULT: Improves reliability by dissipating generated heat.

◆Vented Pole Piece

The vented pole piece by design, ensures proper ventilation to cool

the voice coil and maintain lower operating temperatures. The vent

on the rear of the magnet reduces back pressure and allows cool air

to circulate in the voice coil gap. The air circulation increases the

thermal power handling of the speaker.

THE RESULT: Improves power handling by cooling the voice coil.

◆Silver Powder Coat Finish

Powder coating has long been the industry standard for durability in

protective metal finishes. A dry powder (non-aerosol) is electrostati-

cally applied to the metal and “baked” on to provide a hard “shell-

like” finish. As an additional benefit, powder coating is the only

finishing process that releases no toxic chemicals into our ozone.

THE RESULT: A durable and “earth friendly” metal finish.

Crossover Features

◆Optical Compression Circuit

Thesuppliedpassivecrossoversutilizeanopticalcompressioncircuit

for tweeter protection. This protection circuit absorbs the destructive

signal caused when the amplifier's output is clipped. This greatly

increases the power handling capability and the reliability of the

tweeter.

THE RESULT: Increased tweeter reliability under harsh conditions.

◆Series Notch Filter

TheSeries NotchFilter compensatesfor the inductive load presented

bythedriver(speaker). Thefilter'sprimaryfunction istodampenand

eliminate the effect that driver resonance has on the crossover. The

Series Notch Filter flattens out the inductive load which greatly

improvesdriverperformancebyprovidinga“stable”crossoverpoint.

THE RESULT: Improves driver performance by reducing resonant

peak.

◆Zobel Network

The Zobel network compensate for the impedance rise presented by

the driver (speaker). The network flattens out the gradual impedance

rise produced by the voice coil which typically results in high

frequency rolloff. The Zobel Network compensates for this natural

rolloff which allows the driver to produce a more linear response up

to the tweeter crossover point.

THE RESULT: Compensates for natural high frequency rolloff of

midrange.

◆Adjustable Tweeter Level Matching

The crossover utilizes a series power resistor for tweeter level match-

ing. The factory set tweeter output level is –0dB, however, can be

reduced –3dB to create a smoother transition between the midrange

andtweeter.Theabilitytolevelmatchallowsthesystemtobecustom

“tuned” for a particular listener or setup.

THE RESULT: Allows custom setup of tweeter output level.

DESIGN FEATURES

1. Wire Mesh Grille – The Wire Mesh Grille protects the tweeter

diaphragm from foreign objects and curious fingers.

2. Input Terminals – The “+” Terminal indicates the positive/plus

terminal of the speaker. The “–” Terminal indicates the negative/

minus terminal of the speaker. These terminals connect to the

corresponding output of the supplied crossover.

3. VariableMountLogo – TheDiamond“R” logocanbeorientated

in its housing to accommodate vertical or horizontal crossover

mounting.

4. Input Screw Terminals – The Input Screw Terminals connect to

the outputs of the amplifier. These terminals accept bare wire or

1/4" spade lugs and are gold-plated to resist corrosion.

5. Output Screw Terminals – TheOutputScrewTerminalsconnect

to the input of the tweeter and midrange. These terminals accept

bare wire or 1/4" spade lugs and are gold-plated to resist corro-

sion.

6. Surface Mount Cup – This cup is used to “surface mount” the

tweeter on a panel.

7. FlushMountCup–Thiscupisusedtorecessor“flushmount”the

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Tools Needed

The following is a list of some of the tools necessary for the installation

of your speakers.

Power Drill with assorted bits #2 Phillips Screwdriver

Tape Measure Hole Saw (2")

Voltmeter

General

1. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to

beginning the installation.

2. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside

the vehicle provides the best protection.

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

plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal.

4. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from electrical sources (other

thantheamplifier)i.e.,powercables,electronicfuelpumps,vehicle

computers, and other potential noise sources.

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

moisture.

Speakers

1. Make sure there is an area large enough of the speaker to mount.

Warning! Failure to do this can cause damage to the speaker if the

speaker frame is bent during installation.

2. Checkto see thatthe location isdeep enough for the speaker(s) and

the location does not interfere with the normal operation of the

vehicle.

3. When mounting the speaker(s) in the door of a vehicle, make sure

the speaker(s) do not interfere with either the door or window

operation.

4. Whenmountingthespeaker(s)onthereardeckofthevehicle,check

theoperationoftherearhatchortrunklid.Makesurethetorsionbars

and other moving parts are not obstructed by the speaker(s) instal-

lation.

• Please refer to the Specifications section of this manual for proper

mounting diameter and depth of the speaker(s).

Crossovers

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

2. For best results, mount the crossover(s) next to the amplifier for a
