INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS  
+-  
Tools Needed  
The following is a list of some of the tools necessary for the installation of  
your speakers.  
Power Drill with assorted bits #2 Phillips Screwdriver  
Tape Measure  
Voltmeter  
General  
1. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning  
the installation.  
2. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehi-  
cle provides the best protection.  
3. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic  
grommets to protect any wires routed through metal.  
4. Mount the speakers away from electrical sources (other than the amplifier)  
i.e., power cables, electronic fuel pumps, vehicle computers, and other  
potential noise sources.  
5. Mount the speakers away from areas of extreme heat or moisture.  
Speakers  
1. Make sure there is an area large enough for the speaker to mount. Warning!  
Failure to do this can cause damage to the speaker if the speaker frame is  
bent during installation.  
2. Check to see that the location is deep enough for the speaker(s) and the loca-  
tion does not interfere with the normal operation of the vehicle.  
3. When mounting the speaker(s) in the door of a vehicle, make sure the speak-  
er(s) do not interfere with either the door or window operation.  
4. When mounting the speaker(s) on the rear deck of the vehicle, check the  
operation of the rear hatch or trunk lid. Make sure the torsion bars and other  
moving parts are not obstructed by the speaker(s) installation.  
Please refer to the Specifications section of this manual for proper mounting  
diameter and depth of the speaker(s).

MOUNTING LOCATION  
A solid front stage with a good image is one of the most difficult tasks to  
achieve in a vehicle. No car has the optimum listening environment. This  
makes proper sound staging very difficult to accomplish. Most speakers  
tend to be placed where they will fit easily, as opposed to where they can  
perform the best. The mounting location of your speakers will have a great  
effect on the sound quality of your stereo system. The special care taken to  
place the speakers will yield many hours of listening enjoyment in return.  
Several important recommendations should be followed.  
Place the speakers where they have a direct path to the listening area.  
For the best integration between the midrange and tweeter, the tweeter  
should be placed less than 2" from the midrange. (Figure 1)  
If you cannot place the tweeter less than 2"  
from the midrange, then place the tweeter  
more than 7" from the midrange. Placing the  
tweeter 2"7" from the midrange can cause  
destructive interference (frequency response  
problems) which will affect the speaker's  
ability to reproduce the frequency range  
around the crossover frequency of the sys-  
tem.  
2" or less  
Figure 1  
Whenever possible, place the tweeter direct-  
ly above or below the midrange as this max-  
imizes the imaging (point source) capability of the speakers (Figure 2).  
Figure 2-A  
Figure 2-B  
Sound radiated from a point sourceprovides the best stereo imaging because  
the separation of the acoustical centers between the midrange and tweeter for  
each channel is at the optimum distance. In a closed environment such as an  
automobile, horizontal speaker alignment (Figure 2-A) can cause severe ampli-  
tude and phase differences which will degrade not only the imaging, but also  
the frequency response. This is due to the path length differences between the  
midrange and tweeter. With a vertical alignment (Figure 2-B), the path length  
difference between the midrange and tweeter are reduced to a minimum. The  
3 –  
result is a negligible difference in path lengths between the midrange and tweet-  
er regardless of the proximity of the listener to the speakers. Mounting the speak-  
er with minimum path length difference will ensure the best staging and imag-  
ing possible from your audio system.

Mounting the Midrange  
1. Cut the proper size hole for the midrange/woofer.  
For the 4speaker, cut a 90mm (39") diameter hole  
16  
For the 5-1/4speaker, cut a 114mm (415") diameter hole  
32  
For the 6speaker, cut a 129mm (51") diameter hole  
For the 6-1/2speaker, cut a 139mm1(651") diameter hole  
2
2. Place the mounting ring over the mounting hole and mark the location of  
the screw mounting holes.  
3. Remove the ring. Drill the holes for the screws using a 1/8" drill bit.  
4. Route the wire through the hole.  
5. Attach the wires and be sure to observe the proper speaker polarity.  
6. Place the mounting ring over the speaker.  
7. Place the speaker into the hole and screw the speaker into place. Be care-  
ful not to bend the speaker frame during this step.  
8. Press the speaker grille into the mounting ring.
