warnings and tips

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 3-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 grille on the 3-series, 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 3-series speaker terminals. Turn on the various components and slowly advance the volume
control 

only

 after checking and double checking all connections

Note: 

if sound is weak or distorted, immediately turn down the volume and see the section

entitled troubleshooting.

system planning

Proper system planning is the best way to maximize performance.  By planning your installation
carefully you can avoid situations where the performance or reliability of your system is
compromised.  Your authorized a/d/s/ dealer has been trained to know how to maximize your
systems sonic potential.  They are a valuable resource in helping you with your system design
and installation.
