TWEETER MOUNTING  
MIDRANGE MOUNTING  
When positioning the tweeter for the best imaging, aim the passenger side tweeter toward where  
the driver’s head will be. The same process should also be completed on the driver’s side tweeter but  
this time you’ll aim the tweeter toward where the passenger’s head will be. Positioning the tweeters  
in this manner will help to set up a very solid soundstage.  
To get the best possible music reproduction, it is important to isolate the sound that is produced from  
the rear of the speaker from the sound that is produced from the front of the speaker. To isolate the  
front from the back wave, make sure the speaker is mounted in a baffle or plate, so that the back of  
the speaker is in a sealed chamber.

INSTALLATION KEY  
*Note: The TXC6.1 and TXC6.0 are supplied with plastic mounting adapters. The adapters are used  
to convert the smaller basket sizes needed for European models to the larger domestic sizes. The  
plates will allow a tight and accurate fit, decreasing the need to fabricate adapters out of MDF or  
plastic.

Flush and Angle Mounting  
Three Way System  
• Select mounting location and mark a 1-7/8” diameter hole with supplied template  
• Cut out the 1-7/8” hole (a hole saw is recommended for metal and hard plastic surfaces;  
an X-acto knife for any other surface)  
• Place the supplied bevel headed screws through the flush/angle cup and thread into the  
mounting clip, but do not tighten  
While the TXC sound quality is the best in the market, the addition of the TXC6.0 woofer can create an  
even better musical experience with more precise reproduction. The TXC6.0 has a separate cross-  
over, and the 2-way system can become a true 3-way system where it splits the lower frequencies  
between the original midrange and this additional woofer. This makes each speaker responsible for  
fewer frequencies and allows clearer, more accurate reproduction.  
• Take the assembled flush/angle cup and mounting clip and place them into the 1-7/8” diameter  
hole, making sure the mounting clip goes completely through the hole  
• Tighten the screw in the base of the flush cup until the cup is completely tight  
• Split tweeter wires and run through the holes and twist the tweeter into the cup

CROSSOVER MOUNTING  
BI-AMP CONFIGURATION  
When choosing the mounting location of the crossover, accessibility is important. Adjustments to  
the on-/off-axis setting and tweeter attenuation are to be made after the components have been  
installed, so convenient positioning of the crossover is crucial. Also, the crossover has electronic  
components that must be mounted so it does not come in contact with moisture.  
These crossovers feature Bi-amp connections so that the components can be wired to drive the  
tweeter and midrange independently using two amplifiers. When using the components in the Bi-  
Amp configuration you are going to need two stereo amps or one four channel amp to run a pair of  
components. You will need to remove the Bi-amp jumpers from the input connection points of the  
crossover. Connect the desired amp or channels to the tweeter input. The second amplifier, or third  
and fourth channels of the 4-channel amplifier, will be connected to the woofer input on the cross-  
over. When the crossover is set up in this configuration, the final load will be 4 ohms.  
WIRING  
When installing these separates consider the age of the factory wiring and gauge (size) of wire. If  
the vehicle is an older model or was pre-wired with small wire (18 gauge or less), running new high  
necessary. The speaker wire should run from the amplifier’s output terminals, under the carpet and  
through the factory rubber boot (loom) that protects the wires in the inner door jam. If the factory  
boot cannot be used, take other measures to protect these wires as best you can. Sometimes the  
door has to be completely removed to use the factory boot. If this is something that you do not feel  
comfortable doing, please ask a professional to help you. The wires should originate from the ampli-  
fier and attach to the crossover inputs.

CROSSOVER CONNECTIONS  
Included with each TXC component system is a 2-way 18dB (tweeter)/12dB (midrange) octave  
separate crossover network. The crossover networks allow each driver within the component system  
to independently recreate frequencies within a precisely-designed range so that the speakers do  
not become distorted by trying to reproduce frequencies that they are not physically able to. This  
network ensures that the tweeter does not receive low bass notes and the mid-bass driver does  
not receive high frequencies. The 18dB (tweeter)/12dB (mid) octave design complements both the  
tweeter and mid and provides greater musical detail.  
JUMPERS  
REMOVED  
Note: It is important to make sure the gain of each amplifier is matched. Final gain level adjustments  
should be made using the crossover settings.

Note: Pay close attention to the markings on the crossover to be certain the correct speakers are in  
the correct outlet. If a tweeter is accidentally asked to play the frequencies reserved for a mid-bass  
driver, it will be damaged.

THREE LEVEL OFF-AXIS ADJUSTMENT  
TWEETER ATTENUATION ADJUSTMENT  
MTX designed the TXC components to compensate for undesirable factory mounting locations within  
the vehicles by including a three level on-/off-axis adjustment feature. Since you cannot move the  
factory speaker mounting locations within the vehicle, these adjustments will help to deliver sound  
that is clear, deep, and positioned like it is coming from directly in front of you. The music will have  
a sense of depth where it sounds like it is not confined by the windshield but rather coming from the  
road in front of you.  
When setting the attenuation of your tweeter, you are going to want to adjust this level by the dis-  
tance from tweeter to listener as well as personal preferences. The attenuation has five levels that  
range from 0dB to –6dB. Generally, this would be set up with 0dB being further away, and –6dB being  
closer, to the listener’s ear. If you have the attenuation set at 0dB and the speakers seem too bright,  
adjust the jumper downward until it matches your personal taste. If the speakers seem too dim or  
quiet, adjust the tweeter upward.  
There are three settings on the crossover for Off-axis adjustments- 0˚, 30˚, and 60˚. These positions  
will compensate for the speaker placement and will use your vehicle’s unique environment to create  
the best sounding system possible.  
Note: The tweeter adjustments will also dramatically affect the balance between your tweeter and  
the 0, 30, and 60 degree setting of your midrange. After setting the tweeter to a comfortable level,  
you may need to readjust your midrange off-axis adjustment to achieve the optimum balance.  
Note: For applications greater than 60˚, the 60˚ position setting is recommended  
Once the speakers are installed in their final locations, do the “sit in the seat and close your eyes  
test.” The vocals should be jump out at you, be cleanly defined, and move from side to side while the  
instrumentation should be full and distinct layers. If you don’t hear your music in this fashion, select  
a different jumper position and repeat the “sit in the seat and close your eyes test” (The jumper  
settings listed below are our recommended starting points). Take time to listen to the components in  
each of the jumper settings in detail to determine which sound is best for your application.
