Installation Instructions:
1. Find a proper mounting location that is flat and has a mounting depth
clearance of roughly 21mm.
2. Cut a 47mm mounting hole in the door panel or mounting baffle.
3. Mount and secure the tweeter to the door panel or baffle using the
threaded retaining nut.
4. Connect the tweeter wires to the amplifier.

Note on Fully Active Crossover Systems:
For the best performance we
always recommend the use of the provided passive crossovers with an
external high pass electronic crossover usually located on the amplifier
or headunit. The passive crossover design is extremely complex as
it “blends” and “smoothes” the tweeter and midrange’s response and
impedances together.
Running the system fully active with an external electronic crossover
(instead of the passive crossovers) for the tweeter and midrange
eliminates all this smoothing and transitional circuitry. The reality is that it
almost guarantees worse performance unless the system is perfectly EQ’d
with precision crossover points. It also eliminates the tweeter protection.
Unless you are sound quality and tuning expert, using the provided
crossovers will deliver the best performance.
