CLEANING INFORMATION
Due to Phoenix Gold's extensive use of automotive grade rubber materials,
we recommend detailing these rubber components just as you would any
other parts of your car.
All rubber parts have been pretreated with Meguiar's brand rubber
protectant. This ensures a rich, natural shine for your speakers. Over time
if your convertible's rubber parts become dirty or loose some of their luster,
simply reapply with Meguiar's rubber protectant. This complex formula
includes cleaning agents that help remove dirt and grime and replenish that
lush, like new look.
To apply, simply wipe the convertible's rubbers parts (boot, grill, etc) with
Meguiar's rubber treatment. Then with a separate clean cloth buff the
remaining treatment from the speaker until a lush, natural shine is present
on the rubber parts. For a satin finish complete this cleaning process once,
for a glossy finish repeat the process twice. Please be careful not to apply
excessive pressure on the raised Xenon lettering on the mounting gasket.

SPECIFICATIONS CROSSOVER ANATOMY
The Xenon convertibles were developed from the ground up to
compliment the amazing performance of our Xenon Series amplifiers.
Utilizing cutting edge design techniques, we can deliver a speaker
system that provides exceptional musicality at very high drive levels.
All of the motor (Xe.drive) and suspension (Xe.linear) parts have been
computer optimized to provide symmetrical driving force in both
directions. This translates into very low distortion and exceptional
output even as your amplifier is running out of steam.

2. Attach the coaxial post to the tweeter by
screwing the post to the back of the tweeter.
Be sure to route the speaker wire in the
notch relief as shown so the coaxial post fits
flush against the back of the tweeter.
3. Feed the tweeter wire through the vented
pole piece of the midrange and screw on
the tweeter (with coaxial post attached) to
the midrange by turning it clockwise. BE
CAREFUL NOT TO OVERTIGHTEN.
4. Feed the tweeter wire though the hole of
the rubber magnet boot.
5. Reinstall the rubber magnet boot.
Note: Left and Right channel wiring terminals are different. YOU MUST CONNECT THE CORRECT TERMINAL TO THE CORRECT CONNECTION. Make
sure to keep the polarity correct (positive to positive, negative to negative) when connecting your speaker wire from the crossover to your amplifier.

* If the tweeters are installed in the A-Pillar or high in the door its recommend the A-Pillar
adjustment be engaged. In such installations tweeters are usually now located closer to the
listener and reflective surfaces such as glass and vinyl will alter the tweeter’s performance.
The A-Pillar adjustment corrects these problems by adjusting the phase and frequency
response of the speaker system for a smoother and neutral sound.
