BASICINSTALLATION
Selecting the placement of your new SX Component speakers could be as
easyasusingtheexistingfactorylocationsormayrequireyoutocreatea
new location. Speaker placement in the door, dash, or rear deck is the most
common.SeeyourlocalPhoenixGoldDealerforadditionallocationand
mounting assistance.
DOORS/REARDECK
1.Manyvehiclesalreadyhavefactorylocations(Figure1)tohousethe“DROP
IN” feature of the SX Component speakers. If no existing locations are
availableorarenotused,checkthedesiredlocationforadequatecutout
areaandanydepthobstructions.Makesuretoallowsu󰘲cientclearancefor
window tracks, structural braces, trunk lid springs, etc.
2. Assuming enough area and depth is available, use the provided template
and trace the speaker cutout and mounting holes onto the surface of the
mounting location.
3. If the mounting surface is not structurally strong enough to accommodate
screws, (i.e. plastic, cardboard) use the pro vided speed clips which will act
as a nut for the supplied screws.
4. Always provide water protection, if not supplied in the vehicle. We suggest
usingarainshieldorequivalent.Ifindoubt,pleasecontactyour
PhoenixGoldDealer.
SPEAKERINSTALLATIONWITHOUTGRILL
Phoenix Gold has provided a foam mounting gasket. When installing your new
component speakers in a factory location make sure to use the foam mounting
gasketasshownin󰘰gure1.Forreversemountedspeakersplacethefoam
gasketinfrontofthespeaker.ThiswillensureanairtightsealforyourSX
speakers.
For more custom applications, or cases where the factory grill will not be used,
a high excursion protective grill has been provided. When installing your new
componentspeakerswiththeprovidedSXgrilluse󰘰gure2.Makesuretouse
the rubber gasket to get an air tight seal.
TWEETERADJUSTMENT
Thetweeterspivotintheirhousings.Whenmountedlowinthedoor,anglethe
tweeterupforbetterhighfrequencyperformance.Inreardeckordashboard
installations, angle the tweeter away from the rear glass to reduce destructive
re󰘱ections.
CROSSOVERADJUSTMENT
ThecrossoverprovidedwiththeSXcomponentsetisoptimizedtogivethemost
accurate in-car response. Use only the cross-over provided; the use of any other
crossover may result in damage to one or more of the SX series components.
Connecttheleftampli󰘰eroutputtothecrossoverfortheleftcomponentset,and
therightampli󰘰eroutputtothecrossoverfortherightcomponentset.Fromthere
connect your component woofer and tweeters to the corresponding crossover
observingpolarity(+to+,-to-).(󰘰gure3)
CROSSOVERINSTALLATION
We suggest you select a mounting location for the crossovers within the cab
ofthevehicle,suchasthekickpanelsorneartheampli󰘰er.Ifcrossoversmust
be mounted in the door, mount them between the moisture barrier and the
innermostdoorpanel.MOISTUREDAMAGEWILLVOIDYOURWARRANTY.

TWEETERADJUSTMENTSWITCH
When installing your SX Component system you may want to adjust
yourtweetersettingto󰘰tyourspeci󰘰capplication.PhoenixGoldhas
provided a tweeter adjustment switch in the SX Component System
crossover.Toaccessthisswitchyoumust󰘰rstremovethecrossover
coverbysqueezingthetabsonthesideoftheunit(Figure4)andgently
twisting the lid counter clockwise. Once the lid is removed you will see
aswitchlocatedinthecenterofthecircuitboard.Toincreasethetweeter
output move the switch to the +2dB position. If this switch is in the +2dB
location and you want to decrease the tweeter output move the switch
tothe0dBposition.Onceyouhaveyourcrossovercon󰘰guredplacethe
lid back into place by centering the lid over the circuit board and press
straight down until it snaps into place.
Youwillhavetodothisforeachofthetwocrossoversincludedwiththis
SXComponentSystem.Theprocessisthesameforeach.
TWEETERINSTALLATION
With a variety of supplied mounting options, the SX series tweeter is easy to
installinanyvehicle.EachTicomponentsetcomeswitha󰘱ushmountand
surfacemountinstallationkit.Forothercustommountingcon󰘰gurations,please
contactyourauthorizedPhoenixGoldDealer.
Flush Mount: For optimal tweeter installation, use the Flush Mount option.
TheFlushmountrequires3⁄4”depthanda2-1/16”holeinthe
mountingsurface(󰘰gure5)
Surface Mount: Screws are provided for use when cutting a hole in the door
panel or other mounting surface is not an option. Make sure that
the surface mount location is free of passenger movement that
mightdamagethetweeter.(󰘰gure6)
TheSXtweeterspivotintheirhousings.Thisallowstheusertoalignthetweeter
during the installation process for optimum listening results.
Forbestresults,alwaystrytomaintainequalpathlengthsbetweentheright
andthelefttweeterandthelisteningposition.Thisisusuallyaccomplishedby
mounting as low and deep as possible in a kick panel installation, or high and
deep in a dashboard installation. Be cautious in dashboard installations not to
re󰘱ectthetweetero󰘯ofthewindshield:thisincreasesre󰘱ectionsandcangreatly
diminishtheoverallsystemlisteningquality.
For door panel installations, try to angle the tweeters toward the listener to
optimizehighfrequencyperformance.
