RM9 Installation Option

The RM9 can also be installed from underneath the rear deck to reduce

the installed height of the tweeter module. A spacer is supplied to pro-

tect the rubber surround and ensure a tight air seal. The spacer is

installed between the speaker and the mounting surface as shown in the

diagram.

The Kortec™ dome tweeter on the RM9 is asymetrically aligned with the

woofer cone to minimize diffraction of high-frequencies off of the cone.

Although they are packaged in stereo, matched pairs, either speaker may

be mounted on either side of the vehicle.
