We strongly recommend that you have your new Q
series speakers installed by your authorized MB
Quart dealer. The installation professionals
employed by your dealer have the necessary tools
and experience to disassemble your vehicle, install
your new speakers and reassemble everything
properly. If you prefer to perform your own
installation, it is very important that you read the
entire manual first.

WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR STANDARD WIRING
AND BI-AMP WIRING
Standard Wiring Configuration: This wiring
configuration is used when you want to power
each crossover with a single amplifier channel. It
is important that you leave the jumper pins in
the locations shown in the diagram labeled
Standard.
5. Connect Amplifier Channel 3 - to Crossover
TW - IN.
4. Connect the Red tweeter wire to the output
TW + on the Crossover.
5. Connect the Black tweeter wire to the output
TW - on the Crossover.
Crossover #2:
Bi-Amp Wiring Configuration: This wiring
configuration is used when you want to power
each crossover with a pair of amplifiers(Bi-Amp) or
pair of channels (Bi-Wire). In this mode, the inputs
to the woofer’s low-pass filter and the tweeter’s
high-pass filter are electrically isolated. This
configuration is shown in the diagram labeled
Bi-Amp.
1. Connect Amplifier Channel 2 + to Crossover
WF + IN.
2. Connect Amplifier Channel 2 - to Crossover
WF - IN.
3. Connect Crossover WF + and - output to the
corresponding + and - on midrange speaker #2.
4. Connect Amplifier Channel 4 + to Crossover
TW + IN.
5. Connect Amplifier Channel 4 - to Crossover
TW - IN.
4. Connect the Red tweeter wire to the output
TW + on the Crossover.

Speaker, Tweeter and Crossover Placement Options:
Factory sound systems vary greatly. Some systems have coaxials (tweeter fixed in the center of the midrange) in the
door, while others have factory component (tweeter is separate from midrange) systems. If your system has the factory
component offering then you will want to locate your factory tweeter mounting location and compare it to the diagram
below. Some vehicles already have the tweeter in the ideal location, while others often position the tweeter in the top
corner of the door pane which is less than ideal. A good rule of thumb is to try and mount the tweeter within 8 inches
of the midrange woofer for optimal imaging and tonal balance. When selecting an optimal mounting location, ensure
that you are clear of any obstructions within the door. Cutting or drilling into moving parts or electrical accessory wires
can be very dangerous and costly.
Woofers should typically be installed in the factory locations. Simply ensure that the new woofer will not obstruct the
window or other moving parts in the door.
The Crossover should NEVER be mounted in the shell of the door. This can damage the crossover through vibration
and moisture which is NOT covered under warranty. The Crossover can be mounted in a kick panel, under a seat or in
the trunk as long as the area is not located near any moving parts in the vehicle which could cut or pull the wires
resulting in a short circuit.
All wiring to and from the crossover should avoid all moving parts in the vehicle which could potentially damage the
wiring. Take great care when running wires through the door frame and into the door as wires can easily be cut. A
rubber grommet should be used on both holes and wire loom should be wrapped around the exposed wires as shown
in the diagram below.
