COMPONENT SET CROSSOVER INSTALLATION AND WIRING
The 2XL Series component crossover network incorporates a variety of high quality compo-
nents to insure proper sound separation between the midrange speaker and the tweeter.
The most common place to install the crossover network is on a flat surface inside the door.
However, the door is subject to constant vibration from repeated opening and closing which
can over time damage the electronic parts found inside the crossover. If mounted inside the
door, be sure to avoid locations that may expose the crossover to moisture.
Therefore, a better
option is to install the crossover network inside the passenger compartment.
It is advisible to keep the crossover network away from any auto electronics that could possibly
induce noise into the system. Which ever area you select, choose your location carefully.
Mounting the crossover requires removing the top cover of its housing. This will expose the
two mounting holes. You can use the crossover as a template for drilling the mounting holes.
NOTE: IT MAY BE EASIER TO WIRE THE CROSSOVER PRIOR TO MOUNTING.
Carefully route the wires from the midrange and tweeter to the crossover mounting location.
Wiring the crossover network is pretty straightforward as shown in the diagram below:
1. Connect the amplifier or head unit output to the crossover’s input terminals.
2. Connect the terminals labeled woofer to the component midrange speaker.
3. Connect the terminals labeled tweeter to the component tweeter set.
CAUTION: BE SURE TO OBSERVE PROPER POLARITY WHEN CONNECTING SPEAKER WIRES TO
THE CROSSOVER NETWORK TERMINALS.

NOTE:
It is highly recommended that a hand screw driver and NOT a power drill is used
to tighten the speaker wires to the crossover network terminals.
