In the event a component set mounting topology is chosen, the same procedure can be
followed for the tweeter installation observing the precautions mentioned in the midbass
installation, above. Once a suitable location is found for the tweeters, mounting options can
be evaluated. The Imagine kit comes standard with three tweeter mounting options, including
a swivel flush-mount cup, a surface-mount cup, and an angle-mount cup. Decide which
mounting strategy works the best for your installation, and permanently mount the tweeters.
Route the wiring from the underside of the tweeter to an accessible location and connect to
the tweeter connections (small diameter slide terminals) on the midbass frame.
Once all four speakers are installed, you will need to do a brief listening test with CD-quality
music that you are intimately familiar with to determine if the tweeter seems to be linear in
amplitude with the midbass, or seems to be too muted. If the tweeter seems too muted, or if
you prefer a louder tweeter sound, simply reverse the black and red wires on the tweeter
terminals located on the frame of the midbass. You will be changing the polarity of the
tweeter, and will be increasing the loudness of frequencies between approximately 6,000 –
10,000 Hz by doing this.
Once all four speakers have been installed and the level set as per the above, the sound
damping cropped so as to allow for the re-installation of door panels and/or interior panels,
and all wiring neatly wire-tied away from heat and noise sources, or from abrasion and areas
where the wires may be accidentally sliced or cut, the vehicle can be re-assembled. Sit back
and enjoy the music.
