1. Twist the surface mounting bracket
and flush trim bezel and separate
them from the speaker and wire
2. Place the flat or angled mounting
base onto the surface where the RT15
Tweeter will be installed. Use a marker
to mark where the screw holes will be.
Drill pilot holes with a 1/16" drill bit. If
you want to run the speaker wires
behind the mounting surface, you will
have to mark and drill a hole for that as
well.
3. Thread the speaker wire from the
vehicle's audio system, out through the
hole in the mounting surface, and
splice them with the speaker wires as
shown in the wiring section of this
manual.
Why do I have a whining noise coming from the speakers?
You may have poor filtering of your alternator. If that is the case then you
may need to add an alternator filter to the power lead.

Why do I have odd sounding noises coming from the speakers?
You may have corroded battery terminals and/or a weak battery. If the terminals on
the battery are corroded clean them, then check the sound. If the sound system is still
making noises check battery strength. If it is low recharge or replace the battery.

Why does the speaker have sound coming from one channel only?
First make sure the balance control is set correctly. If the balance is set correctly
your stereo may be defective or the speaker may be defective. To troubleshoot
this problem you MUST change both positive and negative leads of each channel with
the positive and negative leads of the opposite channel, if the same speaker has
no sound then the speaker is no good, if the opposite speaker has no sound then
your stereo may be defective.
