Important
recommendations
Before attempting any installation
work,
it
is
very
important
to
verify
how
much space
is
available to fit the speakers into the vehicle.
•For direct replacement
of
original
speakers, please check there
is
enough
space
for
your
new Focal speakers
and
grilles.
•Ensure the speaker
is
clean
from
debris
and
metallic particles
that
maybe
attached (especially
after drilling)
•Use the
foam
gasket supplied (inside the grille),
for
airtight
placement
of
the speaker into
the panel.
Choice
of
installation
and
positioning
of
speakers
To
achieve best results
for
your
installation, please
follow
these simple guidelines
•Speakers positioned in the most
forward
location possible,
for
correct staging.
•
When
installing Polyglass coaxial speakers into the
rear
of
the vehicle (rear parcel shelf
or
left
and
right quarters), the left
and
right
speakers should always be positioned
far
apart
from
each other,
and
the most
forward
possible,
to
the listener.
If installed into the rear parcel shelf, the speakers must be fixed rigidly in place. If holes are to
be cut into the parcel shelf, ensure it
is
still strong
enough
to
accept the speakers. The
panel
must remain strong, rigid,
and
free
from
any
vibrations.
If
the parcel shelf
is
allowed
to flex, a
possible acoustic short circuit,
may
occur drastically decreasing the speakers performance.
Orientation
of
the
tweeter
The tweeter includes arotational
and
adjustable tilt
mechanism,
that
gives the user a
huge
advantage
in
deciding the position the tweeter points, ultimately
changing
the strength
of
the
high
frequencies produced.
Simply by carefully
turning
and
twisting the tweeter into
position ensures it
is
on
axis to the listeners ears.
Thus:
•obtains correct integration
of
the system,
•optimise the sound stage
image.

Running-in
period
Polyglass
drive
units use the very latest
components.
To
ensure such
complex
mechanical
elements
work
in
harmony
with each other, they must be
allowed
to
function
correctly
in this
environment.
Such
changes
in
temperature
and
humidity
are
regarded
as
very hostile. For Polyglass 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
bandwidth
of
frequencies (sub-bass
through
to
treble). This
running-in
period
should
be used
for
a
few
weeks,
to
gain
the full
potential.
After
which
the excellent
performance
of
your
Polyglass
products
can
be
fully
appreciated.
What
is
the
power
for
your
amplifier?
Polyglass speakers
are
already
highly
efficient, with
improved
sensitivity. Therefore,
their
use
with a
high
power
head
unit
will
produce
comfortable
listening pleasure.
However
used in a
more
high-end
system, with
separate
amplification,
the
audio
quality
will
be
greatly
improved.
It
is
very
important
to
know
the rated
power
of
the
amplifier
is
suitable
for
the speakers used.
Otherwise
your
speakers
may
distort,
or
possible
damage
could occur.
Always consult the owners
manual
of
the
principal
source (head
unit/amplifier),
to
ensure the
power
rating
is
compatible.
Asafe
guide
is
to
ensure the
maximum
power
of
the
amplifier
is
not
greater
than
the
nominal
power
of
the speakers.
