About this installation manual
About this installation manual
This installation manual provides all technical specifications, installation dimensions and crossover connection
instructions for the Dynaudio Esotec series. To realize the full potential of Dynaudio Esotec systems, some areas
should be addressed, as touched upon in the following pages.
Due to the great variety of installation conditions it will not give specific instructions how to install the systems
into your car. Please refer to the operating manual of your car or ask your local automotive dealer for further help.
To observe all relevant matters and thus maximizing the tremendous performance potential of your Dynaudio
Esotec loudspeaker system in your car, ask your authorized Dynaudio automotive loudspeaker dealer for
assistance. He has the knowledge and expertise to perform a high quality aftermarket installation.
Safety information
As all Dynaudio Esotec Series components are passive (meaning these rely on external amplification), the
components themselves can not cause any damage.
However, the components can be damaged beyond repair unless a few ground rules are observed:
X Insure all components are properly installed
X Observe the technical specifications
X Always use high-quality cabling and amplification
HIGH SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS
CAUTION
Listening to high sound pressure levels over a longer period of time may harm your hearing.
XTo avoid auditory effects do not listen to high sound levels over a longer period of time.
