Getting Started
It is recommended that your new FLUX speakers are installed by an autho-
rized FLUX Authorized Dealers. This will ensure the use of proper installa-
tion techniques and material and 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.
2 Way Speaker System
2 way speaker system tweeter and midbass drivers are supported.
commonly tweeter positioned on the dashboard in the A pillars, while
the midbass in the doortrim or placed under the door panels because the
size are big enough. Placement on the pillar A tweeters did not take place
on the dashboard and relatively unobtrusive view. This system is most
commonly used, because these systems are the simpliest. 2 way speaker
prices generally cheaper than a 3 way system and plenty of options, that
would also depend on the brand and type.
