Getting Started
It is recommended that your new FLUX speakers are installed by an au-
thorized FLUX Authorized Dealers. This will ensure the use of proper in-
stallation techniques and material, and also will save you a lot of time and
efforts.
Do not use your car until all component of the loudspeaker system have
been secured to the interior framework. Failure to do so, may cause danger-
ous to a vehicle flying projectitle during a sudden stop or accident.
Do not drill or drive screws through any vehicle interior or carpeted floor
before inspecting the underside for potential punctures to control lines or
cables. Take extreme care when working near the fuel tank, gas lines brakes
or hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.
Turn off the audio system. It is also advisable to disconnect the negative
[ - ] terminal of your vehicle battery whenever performing installation
work. If the installation finished turn on the various components and slowly
advance the volume.
Remember to check and re-check all connections to insure proper installa-
tion and use.
Do not exceed the indicated maximum operational power.
Please make sure the same polarity in loudspeaker, crossover and ampli-
fier are guaranted. if speakers are wired out of phase, an unnatural sound
without bass is the result.

Positioning & Choosing a Location
Using a component speaker gives you the freedom to place the woofer
and tweeter separately in your car. It could be good or bad in terms of
sound quality, it depends where you put it.
3 Way Speaker System
With 3 way speaker system consisting of fixed tweeter and midbass
drivers, but its application is added again named midrange driver that
allows you to create a character of high frequency or vowel sounds more
focused and bold, this is for the midrange capable of filling the missing
high frequency due to the limited ability of tweeters and midbass. The
speakers of this type can produce a quality sound with better imaging
of the system 2 way though just use midbass holder with original angle.
With this, easy to remodel back into a standard audio system again. Mid-
bass drivers can be more focused and solid vocal sound or high frequen-
cy sounds more thicker due to the tweeter and midrange are placed on the
dashboard on the pillar A.

Running In Period / Break In
To ensure such complex mechanical elements work in harmony with each
other, they must be allowed to function correctly are in this environment.
Such change in temperature and humidity are regarded as very hostile.
For speakers to benefit, a running-in period must be used to ensure they
are prepared for this. We recommend that once the system is ready for
listening the drive units should be run-in with medium volume setting,
with music that has the full bandwidths of frequencies. this running-in
period should be minimal 24 hours and for full potential should be a few
weeks. after which the excellent performance of your system can be fully
appreciated.
