We have taken tremendous pains at trying to understand the problems in system installation and design our products to
help, not hurt, the installation process. Using our new
MMT
(Multi Mount Tweeter) mounting system, we are able to quickly
and easily install the tweeter assembly in nearly every possible factory, and custom, location. The key to the install is our
“cup mount” process where we first mount the tweeter to a cup via a small screw. This is easily done outside the vehicle.
Then this tweeter assembly can be easily moved into place and the mating nut design can be screwed on, even with “blind”
installs such as door panels that are only partially removed.
SURFACE MOUNT
This method is used in installations where room is not available behind
the tweeter to drill and recess a mounting cup. Although not as visually
attractive as a flush cup, it performs well and is quick to install.
To make a surface mount, a hole is drilled for both the screw and signal
wires. The screw is simply run through the surface material and into the
back of the tweeter. A washer should be used to ensure the screw will
not pull through the surface over time.
DASH MOUNT
Often, the user simply wants to mount the woofers in the door panels and
the tweeters in the dash which you can easily do with the universal dash kit.
First, chose the mounting holes in the dash kit that will be used to mount
the adapter into the factory hole. Then, mount the tweeter into the dash
adapter using the screw into the back of the tweeter. Now, run the wires up
into the dash and connect to the tweeter pig-tail wire and simply screw the
dash adapter down into the factory hole with the factory screws. Pop the
grille back over the location and you are done.
FLUSH MOUNT
This mount looks factory styled in nearly every vehicle if installed properly.
Although the opposite listener is slightly off-axis from the tweeter,
performance suffers very little due to the wide dispersion of the tweeter.
To make this installation, first choose a location ensuring no electrical or
mechanical interference behind the tweeter. Drill the proper sized hole in
the panel. Mount the tweeter into the cup using the screw provided.
Snake the wires into the door panels and properly locate the crossover
boxes for ease of connection and control access but ensure they are not
in direct access to water or other exterior elements. Finally, push the
tweeter through the hole, tighten the provided plastic nut onto the
threaded cup and you are done.
FLUSH-ANGLE MOUNT
This mount offers all the advantages of the flush mount above but it
angles the tweeter for better cross-car sound thus a better left/right
acoustical balance. It is slightly deeper than the flush mount due to this
configuration so care must be taken to ensure no impact on inner door
surfaces.
The mounting process is identical otherwise to the flush mount system
above so follow the directions in the flush mount system as stated.
