features

Molded woofer basket - The backbone of any good woofer is its basket It provides

the proper alignment and support structure for the magnet and moving parts while

the very thin braces guarantee a minimum of early reflections off the basket that

would be ordinarily transmitted as sonic colorations through the cone

Woofer cone - Interlaced Aramid Fiber (Kevlar) with Mica and fiberglass mixture

in a IMPP (Injection Molded Poly Propylene) base, cones provide the perfect

combination of rigidity and low moving mass for ultra-low distortion and superior

transient response

Vented voice coil - Magnet cooling vent construction enhances power handling

capabilities of the woofer The voice coil is made using copper clad aluminum wire

to minimize weight and increase efficiency and low frequency response

Extended center pole - Woofer magnet geometry provides a symmetrical magnetic

pattern to reduce THD

Tweeter - Ultra-light silk dome design is treated with polymer compound to control all

non-linear resonances

Multi-mount tweeter - The following mounting options (surface, angled surface,

flush, or angled flush) are supplied to mount the ferrofluid cooled neodymium

tweeter

Tweeter level control - A three-position switch adjusts the volume of the tweeter

with respect to the midrange

Tweeter phase switch - A two-position switch which allows 180° or 0° phase

difference between the tweeters and midranges

Midrange contour control - A two-position switch offers a frequency response

correction circuit to adjust for flat frequency response in the car on axis or off

axis

Bi-amplifiable/ bi-wirable - The passive crossover supplied with this system is bi-

amplifiable or bi-wirable; typically only available in high quality audiophile home

loudspeakers

Solid state tweeter protection - Advanced protection circuitry provides protection

for the tweeter against overpowering or amplifier clipping

cautions

Study your automobile thoroughly before you drill or cut any holes Take extra care

when working near gas tanks, gas lines, brake or hydraulic lines and electrical

wiring

Wear eye and ear protection when using power tools Keep the woofers and

tweeters away from metal filings and shavings Once foreign objects are stuck to

the magnets or tweeter dome, it will be virtually impossible to remove them Keep

the tweeters in their protective bags until final mounting to prevent any possibility

of metal dust or chips from passing through the grille and accumulating on the

dome

Exercise caution when working with the cs series with the grille removed A slip of

the hand with a screwdriver or other tool can result in irreparable damage to the

cone or dome Do not touch the cone or dome

Do not install the components where they will be subject to excessive heat,

moisture or dust, or where they will be kicked or repeatedly bumped or brushed

Make absolutely sure that the woofer is connected to the lowpass output and the

tweeter is connected to the highpass output of the crossover network If these

connections are reversed, low-frequency signals will be fed to the tweeter without

fuse protection In this case, the tweeter may be damaged, such damage is not

covered by the warranty

When removing or installing the grills be careful not to brush the woofer's rubber

surround or the tweeter's dome with the edge of the grille Cutting or tearing the

surround or dome will destroy the unit

Never run wires outside or beneath the vehicle where they can be snagged by

road hazards or the moving parts of the vehicle Use existing wire channels,

sills, panels and molding strips inside the automobile to hide the wiring for neat

appearance and safety

Make sure your radio/cassette/cd player and or other equipment is turned off

while connecting the speaker terminals Turn on the various components and

slowly advance the volume control ONLY after checking and double checking all

connections

NOTE: If the sound is weak or distorted, immediately turn down the volume and

installation planning

Proper installation planning is the best way to maximize performance By planning

your installation carefully you can avoid situations where the performance or

dealer or PrecisionPower audio technical support at 1-800-753-0800 selection

3 has been trained to know how to maximize your speakers sonic potential They

are a valuable resource in helping you with your system design and installation

amplifier requirements

This speaker system requires a minimum of 45 watts per channel to achieve

reasonable listening volumes in a moving automobile without clipping the amplifier

™

PrecisionPower

recommends no more than 150 watts per channel as a

maximum so as not to exceed the thermal or mechanical limitations of the speaker

system Any amplifier between 45 watts and 150 watts may be used If you choose

to use an amplifier with more than 150 watts use caution as speaker damage may

™

occur at high volume settings All PrecisionPower loudspeakers will produce

reasonable volume levels in the automotive environment using moderate amplifier

power However, the use of a low powered amplifier to try and attain very high

volume levels can lead to overdriving the amplifier and damaging the speaker

system As a rule, do not turn the volume up above the point where you hear

distortion on musical peaks from either an overdriven amplifier or mechanical

noise from an overstressed speaker For the best performance and reliability;

select an amplifier with slightly more than the maximum power you are likely to

need to generate the desired volume levels This margin of reserve power will

ensure that the amplifier will not be routinely driven beyond its design limits

WArNINg: Excessive sound pressure level can permanently damage your

™

hearing The maximum volume levels attainable with PrecisionPower speakers,

combined with high-power amplification, may exceed safe levels of extended

listening

mounting locations

There are many possible choices of mounting locations The vehicle factory

locations will usually dictate the woofer mounting position Because of its small

size and multiple mounting options, the tweeter can go virtually anywhere

™

PrecisionPower

uses an unusually low crossover frequency for the tweeter

which means you are not restricted to mounting the tweeter close to the midrange

speaker The tweeter can be mounted as far as 24" (60 cm) from the midrange

speaker without causing adverse effects on the sound quality However, better

results are usually obtained by locating the tweeters and midranges relatively

close to each other, and by keeping the sound path lengths between the listener

and the left and right speakers as equal as possible

™

PrecisionPower

cannot recommend specific tweeter mounting locations for

each vehicle, but in general try to keep the tweeters as far to the sides of the car

as practical Avoid placing them above ear level unless the woofers are also above

ear level Place the tweeters in similar locations on both sides of the vehicle Try

a few locations by just placing the tweeter or taping it in a location and listening

to ensure the desired stereo image and high frequency dispersion are achieved

before committing to a location by drilling holes in the vehicle You should also

experiment with the tweeter phase switch settings to find the most effective

combination of location and phase

connections to the amplifier

The crossovers are supplied with a removable screw type connector The

crossover has two sets of input terminals, this allows the system to be driven by

either two or four channels of amplification To correctly use these wiring schemes

you must move the Bi-amp/Parallel switch to the desired position

To bi-amplify the system you will need two stereo amplifiers (or 4 amplifier

channels) with one pair of channels to drive the tweeters and one pair to drive

the woofers

You may also Bi-wire the system by connecting the woofer input terminals to the

amplifier and connecting the woofer input terminals to the same amplifier with

another set of speaker wires This is sometimes done to allow a specific high

frequency or low frequency cabling to be used for the two separate signal paths

See Crossover Installation for additional information on bi-wiring

Be sure to connect the positive crossover terminals to the positive speaker

terminals and positive amplifier terminals, also ensure that the negative crossover

terminals connect to the negative amplifier and speaker terminals Once all of the

wires are attached to the connector and the crossover is mounted, the connector

can be plugged into its mating receptacle on the crossover

speaKer WirinG

speaker wire selection

Use insulated two-conductor stranded wire to connect the crossover to the

speakers and amplifier The size of the wire can have an audible effect of the

performance of the system Stranded 18 gauge "zip cord" will work, but can result

in lower output or unpredictable frequency response For wire runs of 50 feet (15

m) or less, we recommend 16 gauge or larger wire The crossover connector will

accept up to 14 gauge wire

polarity and phasing

The polarity of the positive/negative orientation of the connections for every

speaker and amplifier connection must be consistent so all the speakers will be

in phase When the polarity of one connection is reversed, bass output may be

reduced or stereo imaging degraded Most speaker wire is marked so you can

identify the two conductors There may be ribs or a stripe on the insulation of one

conductor, or the wire may have clear insulation with different color conductors

(copper and silver) There may also be polarity indications printed on the

insulation Identify the positive and negative conductors and be consistent with

every speaker and amplifier connection The supplied speaker wire has a white

stripe to indicate the (+) positive conductor

termination

The woofer uses an angled locking screw connection integrated to the basket of

the speaker The tweeter wires are terminated with molded connectors (male and

female) Use the supplied wire with insulated connectors to extend the tweeter

wires to the crossover section Alternatively you may solder the tweeter wire

connections and insulate them with high quality heat shrink tubing

speaKer installation

Woofer installation

The woofer will fit into many standard factory mounting locations using the

existing mounting holes in the automobile remove the trim panels and inspect

the installation locations before you cut and drill the holes required to mount the

woofer removing the panel will also make it much easier to route wiring inside

the door Look for original equipment speaker installation cutouts that can be used

to install the woofers with little or no modifications Use the supplied template to

help you locate and mark the holes needed to install the speakers

If the planned installation location is in a door panel, be sure the speaker will not

interfere with the window lowering mechanism Ensure that the speaker wires are

positioned to clear all moving parts inside the door

For each woofer you will need to cut one large hole and drill small holes around

the circumference If the mounting surface is covered by carpet or fabric, use a

knife or razor to cut the material away from the holes to be cut This prevents

material or fibers from becoming tangled in the drill bit or cutting blade If you

are using the packaged metal screws provided in the hardware kit, drill the four

speaker mounting screw holes with a 1/8"(3 mm) drill

Clean the work areas of all filings and shavings with a vacuum cleaner before you

proceed with woofer mounting

Woofer mounting

route the speaker wire from the woofer installation locations to the crossovers

Pull the wire through the installation hole and attach the terminals on the ends

to terminals connections on the speakers refer to the speaker wiring section of

this manual and the wiring diagrams Push the wire back into the area behind

the installation location and be sure it will not interfere with the speaker or get

snagged by any mechanisms in the area

Attach the supplied foam gasket strip to the mounting surface of the speaker

This will ensure an air tight seal, which is required to achieve the best bass

performance

Install the speakers by gradually tightening each mounting screw Tighten the

screws until the speaker is well seated, but take care not to over-tighten

tWeeter installation

The speaker system is supplied with five different tweeter mounting options:

coaxial, surface, surface angle, flush, and angled flush mount After you have

decided which option is best suited to your installation, refer to the following

sections for specific details on mounting the tweeter

coaxial mount

These components have the unique ability to also be used as a coaxial speaker

in specific applications This allows the tweeter to be placed directly in the center

of the woofer without obstructing the voice coil or the function of the woofer

CAUTION: Use caution to not damage the speaker cone in the procedure

described in the next steps

Unscrew and remove the center bullet from the threaded mounting post by turning

the bullet counterclockwise as shown in the following illustration retain the bullet

crossover installation

The system supports conventional wiring, Bi-wiring or Bi-amping using the

supplied passive crossovers While conventional (parallel mode) wiring will provide

excellent sound, bi-wiring or bi-amping may further enhance the performance in

no-compromise systems

Bi-wiring uses a separate pair of speaker wires for the high frequency and low

frequency signal between an amplifier channel and its associated crossover

network This gives you the option of choosing wire which may have slightly

different sonic characteristics in order to optimize performance of each frequency

range Also, it reduces the overall wiring resistance between the crossover and

amplifier, much like the use of larger gauge wire This option provides the most

benefit when the crossover network is mounted a long distance away from the

amplifier If the crossover is mounted close to the amplifier it is doubtful that there

will be an appreciable difference between bi-wiring and conventional wiring

Bi-amping uses a separate amplifier channel for the high-frequency and low-

frequency sections, instead of the single amplifier channel used in conventional

and bi-wired connections Bi-amping provides the additional advantage of allowing

use of the amplifier's level controls to provide an additional level of fine-tuning not

possible with the tweeter-level switch alone In addition, at high power levels, a

bi-amplified connection can help protect the tweeter from amplifier clipping, which

is more likely to occur on channels driving the midrange When bi-amping using

the passive crossovers, the midrange low-pass filter and tweeter high-pass filter

on the amplifier or external active crossover should be bypassed

Carefully route the wires from the woofer and tweeter to the crossover mounting

location The crossover installation location should be reasonably accessible to

allow easy connection of the wires and adjustment of the internal switches If the

crossover must be mounted in an inaccessible location make the speaker wire

connections and adjustments before final installation Be sure the installation

location has adequate clearance to allow the removal and replacement of the

cover Mounting the crossover requires removing the top cover of its housing

grasp the top cover at the front and back Compress the cover slightly in the

center and lift it off the bottom of the housing Mounting the crossover requires

four holes in a rectangular pattern 2 13/16" x 4 1/4" (7 14 cm x 10 8 cm) on a flat

surface Use the crossover as a template for drilling the mounting holes

Align the mounting holes in the bottom half of the crossover unit with the holes

you have drilled at the installation site Pass the four #6 x 1 1/4" screws through

the holes in the crossover unit, and tighten them until the assembly is firmly in

place As before, do not over-tighten; this is especially important if the mounting

surface is not perfectly flat
