LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
SpeakerCraft Inc. warrants to the original retail purchaser only that this SpeakerCraft product will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, provided the speaker was
purchased from a SpeakerCraft Authorized Dealer.
Defective products must be shipped, together with proof of purchase, prepaid insured to the SpeakerCraft Authorized Dealer from whom they were purchased, or to the
SpeakerCraft factory at the address listed on this installation instruction manual. Freight collect shipments will be refused. It is preferable to ship this product in the original ship-
ping container to lessen the chance of transit damage. In any case, the risk or loss or damage in transit is to be borne by the purchaser. If, upon examination at the Factory or
SpeakerCraft Authorized Dealer, it is determined that the unit was defective in materials or workmanship at any time during this warranty period, SpeakerCraft or the SpeakerCraft
Authorized Dealer will, at its option, repair or replace this product at no additional charge, except as set forth below. If this model is no longer available and can not be repaired
effectively, SpeakerCraft, at its sole option may replace the unit with a current model of equal or greater value. In some cases where a new model is substituted, a modification to
the mounting surface may be required. If mounting surface modification is required, SpeakerCraft assumes no responsibility or liability for such modification. All replaced parts and
product become the property of SpeakerCraft Inc. Products replaced or repaired under this warranty will be returned to the original retail purchaser, within a reasonable time,
freight prepaid.
This Warranty does not include service or parts to repair damage caused by accident, disaster, misuse, abuse, negligence, inadequate packing or shipping procedures, commer-
cial use, voltage inputs in excess of the rated maximum of the unit, or service, repair or modification of the product which has not been authorized or approved by SpeakerCraft.
This Warranty also excludes normal cosmetic deterioration caused by environmental conditions. This Warranty will be void if the Serial Number on the product has been
removed, tampered with or defaced.
This Warranty is in lieu of all other expressed warranties. If the product is defective in materials or workmanship as warranted above, the purchaser’s sole remedy shall be repair
or replacement as provided above. In no event will SpeakerCraft be liable for any incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the product, even
if SpeakerCraft Inc. or a SpeakerCraft Inc. Authorized Dealer has been advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any other party.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the above limitation and exclusion may not apply.
All implied warranties on the product are limited to the duration of this expressed Warranty. Some states do not allow limitation on the length of an
implied warranty. If the original retail purchaser resides in such a state, this limitation does not apply.

OWNER’S MANUAL
OE6 DT ONE • OE5 DT ONE:Attach the speaker cable,
observing the proper polarity with your amplifier, + to + (red)
and – to – (black). Either channel may be attached to either
terminal set, however, be sure that polarity (+ and –)
is correct on each channel or the performance of the speaker

Placement Under Eaves and Outdoors
When mounting your speakers outdoors, the eaves of the roof
provide an ideal location. They reduce the exposure of constant
direct sunlight, salt spray, and precipitation. If installing speakers
on a boat, the wheelhouse provides the best location for the
same reasons. Following these suggestions will help to ensure
that your speakers will last a lifetime.
PLACEMENT
Diagram 4:
Pre-Construction Installation
Depending upon your listening area, you may find the sound
more pleasing by pointing the tweeters in a particular direction.
If additional treble is desired, simply point the tweeter(s) towards
that area; if less treble is required, point the tweeter(s) away.
ADJUSTING THE PIVOTING TWEETER(S)
Push gently at the
edge of the tweeter to
point the tweeter in the
desired direction.

Diagram 3:
Speaker Placement
Placement on a Wall or Bookshelf
When placing your speakers on a wall or bookshelf, optimal
sound will be achieved if they are mounted at ear level or slightly
higher. The usual listening area should be no closer to the
speakers than the distance between the speakers themselves.
Pre-Construction Installation
The bracket is designed to mount horizontally or vertically onto
a standard junction box. In addition, SpeakerCraft recommends
that the bracket also be mounted directly to the stud for added
support. See Diagram 4
