WARNING
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO DAMP OR MOISTURE - doing so may result in fire,
shock or damage to the product.

- failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury.
ENSURE GOOD AND CORRECT CONNECTIONS - failure to make the correct connections
may result in fire or damage to the product.
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL SO YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISE - failure

• Before drilling or cutting any holes, investigate the layout of your vehicle thoroughly.
• Use caution when working near the fuel / hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.
• Observe the correct polarity when wiring, improper phasing may cause a loss of bass
response.
• Ensure that no moving parts catch on the speaker or grill (e.g. window or door handles, or
window glass inside the door)

SPEAKER INSTALLATION
Firstly, make sure that the speakers will fit in your chosen location. This may involve the removal of
the standard vehicle speakers. Please use the mounting depth and hole cut dimensions as detailed
in this manual for guidance.
• If necessary cut any material away to allow the speaker to sit correctly.
• Cut out the mounting hole and pre-drill any other fixing holes.
• If required, the protective grill can be removed from the gasket and omitted from the speaker
fitting.
• If the grill is to be fitted, screw through both gasket and speaker using the screw provided until the
speaker is securely fastened.

TWEETER INSTALLATION
Thetweetercaneitherbefittedflushmountorsurfacemount.Tryandtakeintoaccountthefollowing
when locating a suitable position. For optimum staging try and locate a position that is higher than
the woofer but within twelve inches (maximum) of it.
It is vital that the tweeter is adjusted so that it is focused towards the listener.
SURFACE MOUNT TWEETER INSTALLATION
•After finding a suitable position for the tweeters place the base of the tweeter casing in the correct
position.
• Using this base mark the two mounting holes and the hole for the wire to pass through.
• Cut out these holes using a 2mm drill for the fixing screws and at least an 8mm hole for the cable,
ensuring that the hole cut for the cable is big enough and will not cause the cable to become
chaffed in any way.
• Pass the tweeter cable through the bottom of the case and through the previously drilled hole.
• Secure the bass of the tweeter housing with the screws provided.
• Finally, angle the tweeter so that it is focused towards the listener.
FLUSH MOUNT TWEETER INSTALLATION
For ease of installation there are two ways of fixing the tweeters in place.
The first requires the use of the metal ring provided. (See Figure A)
•After finding a suitable position for the tweeters place the cut out template for the tweeter in position
and mark around it.
• Before cutting the holes double check that no brake, fuel lines or wiring harnesses are likely to get
damaged.
• Ensure that the tweeter when fitted will not catch on any moving parts such as door / window
handles.
• If mounting in a door check that the window can still be fully lowered before installing.
• Cut out the hole carefully.
• Place the entire tweeter into the cut out hole.
• From the back push the metal ring over the rear of the casing until it is tight into the hole.

The second requires the use of the metal strip provided. (See Figure B)
•After finding a suitable position for the tweeters place the cut out template for the tweeter in position
and mark around it.
• Before cutting the holes double check that no brake, fuel lines or wiring harnesses are likely to get
damaged.
• Ensure that the tweeter when fitted will not catch on any moving parts such as door / window
handles.
• If mounting in a door check that the window can still be fully lowered before installing.
• Cut out the hole carefully.
• Position the metal strip fixing strip centrally, behind the cut out hole.
• Using the fixing screws attach the base of the tweeter case to the metal strip.
• Pass the tweeter cable through the hole in the centre in the bottom of the case and the metal fixing
strip.
• Pull the cable tight until the tweeter sits in the base.
• Screw the top of the tweeter casing to the base.
• Caution do not over tighten.
CROSSOVER
The crossover units come with wires with crimped ends on already attached to them to ease the
installation process. The wiring diagram (below) should be used as a guide to wire the crossovers
into your system. Once the crossover has been wired correctly use the two sticky pads to fix it to a
secure, dry location.
