4.3. Mounting Woofers

The 5-1/4" woofers require a mounting depth of 2-1/4". Ensure there is sufficient clearance behind the mounting location. Use appropriate mounting hardware to secure the woofers firmly in place. Avoid overtightening screws, which can damage the speaker frame.

4.4. Mounting Tweeters

The tweeters offer four mounting options for flexible installation. Choose a location that provides optimal sound imaging and is free from obstructions. Common locations include dash corners, A-pillars, or door panels. Refer to the specific mounting hardware included with your system for detailed instructions on each mounting method.

4.5. Crossover Network Connection

The passive crossover network is essential for directing the correct frequency ranges to the woofers and tweeters. Connect your amplifier's output to the input terminals of the crossover. Then, connect the woofer output from the crossover to the woofer, and the tweeter output from the crossover to the tweeter. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for all connections to maintain proper phase and sound quality.
