TWEETER PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
A component system gives you the ability
to place the woofer and tweeter separately in
your vehicle interior. This can be good or bad,
depending on how it’s done. As a general rule,
the tweeters should be placed relatively close
to the woofers for best tonal balance and most
coherent imaging (the closer, the better). Any
separation greater than 8 inches (20 cm) is likely
to result in degraded sound quality.
Avoid placing tweeters where they
will be blocked by objects in the interior
of the car (including seated occupants).
When selecting a mounting location, look
at both sides of the car to make sure that
this location is clear on both sides.
You can always experiment with tweeter
placement before committing to a final
mounting location. Simply connect the rest of
the system and allow plenty of wire length for
the tweeters. Using hook and loop fastener or
similar material, attach the tweeters in different
locations until you find the one where they
perform best.
TWEETER PROTECTION
The C1 crossover networks are equipped
with an advanced electronic tweeter protection
circuit designed to minimize the possibility of
tweeter failure. This electronic device monitors
current going to the tweeter and will disconnect
the tweeter from the signal when it senses
overload. Should this occur while listening to
the audio system, simply reduce the volume for
a few seconds and the protection circuit will
reset itself automatically.

CROSSOVER NETWORK INSTALLATION
The crossover networks supplied with your
C1 System should be installed in a dry location
inside your vehicle. DO NOT INSTALL THEM
INSIDE OF A DOOR! Doors often get wet on
the inside, which can damage your crossover
networks and could potentially damage your
entire sound system. Use plastic cable ties
or a similar fastener to securely mount each
crossover to avoid coming loose in the event
of a collision, sudden jolt or repeated
vibrations during normal use. Make
sure that your mounting location will
not cause damage to wiring or any other
vital component of your vehicle.
