C. 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.
D. Do not mount the speaker where water may splash
the woofer cone. A plastic cup or some heavy gauge
plastic sheeting may be needed in some locations that
are exposed to moisture from behind the body panel.
E. Care must be taken to prevent low frequency cancel-
lation caused by air leakage between the front and rear
of the speaker (such as when mounted on a curved or
uneven surface, or when mounted in an oversized hole).
F. Mounting panel reinforcement may be necessary in
some cases in order to prevent surface ex. This can be
achieved by mounting the speaker on a metal or
wooden sub-bafe behind the body or door panel.
Consult an installation specialist for further direction.
G. Unless you are replacing existing speakers of same
size, mounting locations will have to be cut into the
doors, body panels, or rear deck. In some cases speaker
mounting holes will be precut in the doors, body panels,
or rear deck steel. Due to their structural integrity and
accessibility. These precut mounting holes should be
used whenever possible.
IMPORTANT: Never cut any metal that is an integral
part of an automobile's safety or structural support
system.
NOTE. trongly recommends that you operate µDimension s
the complete audio system at low volume before nal
installation of your ELEMENT Automotive Loudspeakers.
This will allow a trial listening test before securing the
loudspeakers into their mounting locations.
CAUTION: Make sure that all speaker wiring is fully
protected from cutting or wear. Any short circuits
developing as a result could severely damage the
rado unit or amplier. Make sure that all speaker
wires easily reach the speaker terminals with stress
on the wire or connectors.
