with slightly more than you are likely to need to reproduce the desired volume levels. This
margin of reserve power will ensure that the amplifier will not attempt to deliver more than
it’s design allows.

Warning:

Excessive sound pressure level can permanently damage your hearing. The

maximum  volume  levels  attainable  with  a/d/s/  speakers,  combined  with  high  power
amplification, may exceed safe levels for extended listening. When listening at extreme
volume levels always use hearing protection, or turn it down!

The preparation of the mounting surface for the tweeter involves drilling a single 1-7/8” hole.
In most cases a circular hole-saw in a heavy-duty variable speed drill will be the best way to
cut this hole. Cut carpeting or fabric away from the hole locations to prevent tangling of fibers
in the drill bit. Only mount the 336PX tweeter into a location where you can gain access
behind the panel.

Once the hole is cut, pass the tweeter through the panel from the front and screw the knurled
locking ring onto the tweeter from the rear. Tighten the ring securely.
