Connections should first be made with the rear cover removed to allow for adjustment of the
crossover settings. The tweeter level has jumper positions for +2dB, 0dB and -2dB attenuation.
When you have chosen the final settings, replace the rear cover section and tighten the two hold-
down screws.
The following diagram

shows the basic installation for the M5™ 2-way systems. This basic
layout is the “starter” for many show winning audio systems. The computer-optimized crossovers
implement a Fourth-Order Linkwitz-Riley filter topology, and Zobel correction circuit.
To begin, (1) connect the amplifier’s speaker output to the crossover’s INPUT terminals. Then, (2)
connect the terminals labeled WOOFER to the M5 woofer/midbass driver and, (3) connect the
TWEETER terminals to the M5 tweeter. Finished! The remaining RAF outputs may be used for an
optional (available from your DAT dealer) rear-fill driver, coaxial speaker or even the factory original
rear speakers. For applications requiring timbre-matched drivers, we suggest using the M54.1m or
M55.1m units. The RAF output features attenuation of -10dB for optimum level matching and
compensation for vehicle size and length.
