WARNING  
High-powered car audio  
systems may produce sound  
pressure levels that exceed the  
threshold at which hearing loss may  
result.  
They may also impair a driver’s ability to  
hear traffic sounds or emergency vehi-  
cles. Use common sense and practice  
safe listening habits when listening to or  
adjusting your audio system.  
SOUND QUALITY  
Obtaining the highest quality sound  
reproduction in the mobile environment  
requires installation techniques and  
knowledge of vehicle interiors that go  
far beyond simple replacement of stock  
speakers. Speaker location, orientation,  
phasing, and the vehicles interior mate-  
rials are important considerations when  
designing and installing an auto sound  
system.  
To achieve the best sound quality  
possible from your Directed Audio loud-  
speakers, Directed recommends the  
installation be performed by an MECP  
certified technician.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS  
The Directed SX neodymium separates  
are designed for installation into factory  
speaker locations, custom mounting  
enclosures or any flat mounting surface  
inside the vehicle with sufficient rear  
clearance. The following precautions and  
instructions cover the basic and most  
common types of installation.  
distortion or shorting of the speaker  
leads to the chassis ground. Over-  
sized holes will not allow the  
mounting screws to make sufficient  
contact with the panel, allowing the  
speaker to become loose.  
Always protect the wires when  
routing by avoiding sharp metal  
edges, moving parts such as heater  
or vent controls, clutch pedals, brake  
pedals, steering columns, and power  
window motors and gears.  
Check behind panels for clearance of  
metal brackets, hoses, and wire  
harnesses before making any cuts.  
When mounting speakers into doors,  
roll the window up and down to  
check clearance of the glass and  
window regulator.  
When routing wires through metal  
panels and doorjambs always use  
vinyl tubing and grommets for  
protection and a professional-looking  
installation.  
Make sure the mounting holes are  
the correct size for the speaker.  
Undersized holes can cause speaker
