When using one of the AS series 2-way speakers, the tweeter is fully removable. When
removing the tweeter, make sure to replace the chrome plug in its place. This is needed for
proper operation of the speaker. To remove the plug or tweeter grip your fingers on the
outside of the tweeter or plug and gently pull up with a tilting action slightly from side to
side and it will pop out. To replace the plug or tweeter, line up the holes at the bottom of
the plug or tweeter with the markings on the cup on the speaker.
Hole to line up when
replacing plug or tweeter
2-Way Tweeter Option
When using the tweeter installed in the speaker or mounted separately, the blue wire with
the black line is - (negative) and the solid blue wire is + (positive).

3-Way Tweeter Option
To mount the tweeter, use the tweeter as a template to mark out and cut a hole the diam-
eter of the tweeter then, insert the tweeter then, place the supplied ring on the back of the
tweeter and screw it on clockwise to tighten the tweeter into its mounted position.
Removal of the 3-Way tweeter is the same
as the 2-Way setup on page 5.

Investigate the layout of your automobile thoroughly before drilling or cutting any holes.
Take care when you work near gas tanks, gas lines, hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring.
Do not use the power amplifier unmounted. Attach the system securely to the automobile
to prevent damage, particularly in the event of an accident. Do not mount the system
so that the wire connections are unprotected or are subject to pinching or damage
from nearby objects.
The +12V DC power wire must be fused at the battery positive terminal connection.
Before making or breaking power connections at the system power terminals,
disconnect the +12V wire at the battery end. Confirm your radio/head unit and/or other
equiptment is turned off while connecting the input jacks and speaker terminals.
If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that
supplied with the system. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in damage to
this system which is not covered by the warranty.

Specifications are subject to change with out notice.

at their cost.
You must acquire a Return Authorization Number ( #) prior to returning ANY product to
Audiobahn. That Return Authorization Number (RA#) must be prominently and clearly marked on the
