BEFORE
STARTING
MTX
recommends
that
you
have
your
new
speakers
installed
by
an
authorized
MTX
retailer,
preferably
MECP
certified.
If
you
do
decide
to
do
it
yourself,
make
sure
you
have
read
the
instructions
carefully
and
that
you
have
the
following
tools:
•
Electric
drill
•
Phillips
bit
or
screwdriver
•1/8"
bit
•
Door
panel
puller
•
Wire
cutters/crimpers
•
Metal
cutting
tool
•
Safety
glasses
•
2mm
hex
wrench
•
X-acto
knife
Throughout
installation,
keep
in
mind
the
ultimate
objective
of
creating
an
ideal
soundstage
and
exceptional
imaging.
This
refers
to
the
experience
you
get
when
you
sit
in
your
seat
with
your
head
up
and
shoulders
straight,
close
your
eyes,
and
listen.
Where
does
the
music
seem
to
be
coming
from?
In
an
ideal
world,
you
would
hear
all
music
from
front
and
center,
meaning
it
sounds
like
a
band
is
performing
on
your
hood.
Raising
the
soundstage
is
a
very
important
process
and
every
option
should
be
considered
in
order
to
have
your
sound
as
up
and
in
front
as
possible.
Removing
the
Door
Panel
Please
be
aware
that
today's
cars
have
door
panels
that
are
not
designed
to
come
apart
easily;
they
are
designed
by
the
factory
to
sit
tight
against
the
door
and
not
rattle.
It
is
important
to
note
that if
the
proper
procedures
are
not
followed,
the
door
panels
can
easily
become
damaged
and
make
them
fit
improperly
when
you're
trying
to
reinstall
them.
Use
a
door
panel
puller
to
remove
the
door
panel,
and
be
aware
there
are
often
hidden
screws
that,
if
overlooked,
can
cause
the
panel
to
crack
or
break
when
force
is
applied
to
remove
door
panel.
It
might
be
a
good
idea
to
do
some
research
on
your
specific
car
to
be
sure
they
are
all
removed
before
continuing.
Even
new
car
owner
needs
to
be
aware
of
this
potential
issue.
Buying
a
new
door
panel
is
an
expensive
process
so
please
take
note
of
the
potential
for
damage.
With
the
door
panel
off,
it
is
a
perfect
time
to
add
sound
dampener.
The
main
goal
of
sound
dampeners
is
to
add
mass
to
the
metal
in
the
door,
causing
less
rattle
and
"ring"
which
will
help
to
improve
the
overall
sound
of
your
new
speakers.
It
also
helps
prevent
against
outside
noise
by
adding
insulation.
Sound
dampening
material
can
be
purchased
from
your
local
retailer
and
is
available
in
many
different
forms,
and
kits,
for
many
different
applications.
Please
make
sure
you
purchase
the
correct
type
for
your
specific
project.
Note:
Before
cutting
anything,
please
use
common
sense
and
make
sure
that
no
wires or
glass
will
interfere
with cutting
tools.
ALWAYS
WEAR
PROPER
SAFETY
GLASSES.
Be
sure
allwires
are
clearof
moving
parts
such
as
windowcrank
mechanisms
and
trunk
hinges.
Use
rubber
grommets
when
running
wires
through
sharp
edged
metal
holes,
which
may
wear
through
the
wire's
insulation.
Do
not
mount
speakers
where
they
could
come
in
contact
with:
•
The
door's
window
glass
•
The
window
crank
handle
or
gear
assembly
when
rotated
•
The
trunk
springs,
shock
towers,
or
trunk
lid
•
The
gas
tank
or
fuel
lines

'JWEETER
MOUNTING
When
positioning
the
tweeter
for
the
best
imaging,
aim
the
passenger
side
tweeter
toward
where
the
driver's
head
will
be.
The
same
process
should
also
be
completed
on
the
driver's
side
tweeter
but
this
time
you'll
aim
the
tweeter
toward
where
the
passenger's
head
will
be.
Positioning
the
tweeters
in
this
manner
will
help
to
set
up
a
very
solid
soundstage.

MIDRANGE
MOUNTING
To
get
the
best
possible
music
reproduction,
it
is
important
to
isolate
the
sound
that
is
produced
from
the
rear
of
the
speaker
from
the
sound
that
is
produced
from
the
front
of
the
speaker.
To
isolate
the
front
from
the
back
wave,
make
sure
the
speaker
is
mounted
in
a
baffle
or
plate,
so
that
the
back
of
the
speaker
is
in
a
sealed
chamber.

Three
Way
System
While
the
TXC
sound
quality
is
the
best
in
the
market
the
addition
of
the
TXC6.0
woofer
can
create
an
even
better
musical
experience
with
more
precise
reproduction.
The
TXC6.0
has
a
separate
crossover,
and
the
2-way
system
can
become
a
true
3-way
system
where
it
splits
the
lower
frequencies
between
the
original
midrange
and
this
additional
woofer.
This
makes
each
speaker
responsible
for
fewer
frequencies
and
allows
clearer,
more
accurate
reproduction.

CROSSOVER MOUNTING
When choosing the mounting location of the crossover, accessibility is important. Adjustments to the on-/off-
axis setting and tweeter attenuation are to be made after the components have been installed, so convenient
positioning of the crossover is crucial. Also, the crossover has electronic components that must be mounted
so it does not come in contact with moisture.
WIRING
When installing these separates consider the age of the factory wiring and gauge (size) ofwire.lfthe vehicle
is an older model or was pre-wired with small wire (18 gauge or less), running new high performance wire
(http://www.streetwires.com/products/speakerCable/microUitraCable.cfm) win be necessary. The speaker
wire should run from the amplifier's output terminals, under the carpet and through the factory rubber boot
(loom) that protects the wires in the inner door jam. If the factory boot cannot be used, take other measures
to protect these wires as best you can. Sometimes the door has to be completely removed to use the factory
boot. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable doing, please ask a professional to help you. The
wires should originate from the amplifier and attach to the crossover inputs.
CROSSOVER CONNECTIONS
Included with each TXC component system is a 2-way 18dB (tweeter)/12dB (midrange) octave separate
crossover network. The crossover networks allow each driver within the component system to independently
recreate frequencies within a precisely-designed range so that the speakers do not become distorted by
trying to reproduce frequencies that they are not physically able to. This network ensures that the tweeter
does not receive low bass notes and the mid-bass driver does not receive high frequencies. The 18dB
(tweeter)/12dB (mid) octave design complements both the tweeter and mid and provides greater musical
detail.
Note: Pay close anention to the markings on the crossover to be certain the correct speakers are in the
co"ectoutlet Hatweeter is accidentally asked to play the frequencies reserved fora mid-bass driver, it
will be damaged

BI-AMP
CONFIGURATION
These
crossovers
feature
Bi-amp
connections
so
that
the
components
can
be
wired
to
drive
the
tweeter
and
midrange
independently
using
two
amplifiers.
When
using
the
components
in
the
Bi-Amp
configuration
you
are
going
to
need
two
stereo
amps
or
one
four
channel
amp
to
run
a
pair
of
components.
You
will
need
to
remove
the
Bi-amp
jumpers
from
the
input
connection
points
of
the
crossover.
Connect
the
desired
amp
or
channels
to
the
tweeter
input.
The
second
amplifier,
or
third
and
fourth
channels
of
the
4-channel
amplifier,
will
be
connected
to
the
woofer
input
on
the
crossover.
When
the
crossover
is
set
up
in
this
configuration,
the
final
load
will
be
4
ohms.

THREE LEIIEL
OFF-AXIS
ADJUSTMENT
MTX
designed
the
TXC
components
to
compensate
for
undesirable
factory
mounting
locations
within
the
vehicles
by
including
a
three
level
on-/off-axis
adjustment
feature.
Since
you
cannot
move
the
factory
speaker
mounting
locations
within
the
vehicle,
these
adjustments
will
help
to
deliver
sound
that
is
clear,
deep,
and
positioned
like
it
is
coming
from
directly
in
front
of
you.
The
music
will
have
a
sense
of
depth
where
it
sounds
like
it
is
not
confined
by
the
windshield
but
rather
coming
from
the
road
in
front
of
you.
There
are
three
settings
on
the
crossover
for
Off-axis
adjustments-
0°,30°,
and
60°.
These
positions
will
compensate
for
the
speaker
placement
and
will
use
your
vehicle's
unique
environment
to
create
the
best
sounding
system
possible.
Note:
For
applications
greater
than
60:
the
60°
position
setting
is
recommended
Once
the
speakers
are
installed
in
their
final
locations,
do
the
"sit
in
the
seat
and
close
your
eyes
test."
The
vocals
should
jump
out
at
you,
be
cleanly
defined,
and
move
from
side
to
side
while
the
instrumentation
should
be
full
and
distinct
layers.
If
you
don't
hear
your
music
in
this
fashion,
select
a
different
jumper
position
and
repeat
the
"sit
in
the
seat
and
close
your
eyes
test"
(The
jumper
settings
listed
below
are
our
recommended
starting
points).
Take
time
to
listen
to
the
components
in
each
of
the
jumper
settings
in
detail
to
determine
which
sound
is
best
for
your
application.

TWEETER ATTENUATION ADJUSTMENT
When setting the attenuation ofyourtweeter, you are going to want to adjust this level by the distance from
tweeter to listener as well as personal preferences. The attenuation has five levels that range from OdB to
-6dB. Generally, this would be set up with OdB being further away, and -6dB being closer, to the listener's ear.
If you have the attenuation set at OdB and the speakers seem too bright, adjust the jumper downward until it
matches your personal taste. If the speakers seem too dim or quiet, adjust the tweeter upward.
Note: The tweeter adjustments will also dramaticallyaffect the balance between your tweeter and the a
30, and 60 degree setting of your midrange. After setting the tweeter to a comfortable level, you may need to
readjust your midrange off-axis adjustment to achieve the optimum balance.
