INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
•
Since these speakers utilize a unique low profile swivel tweeter housing that has minimal
tweeter protrusion, original factory mounting cutouts can still be used with the factory grills in
many cases.
•
These PowerBass Xtreme speakers can be used above or below the mounting hole. Typically,
your vehicle factory’s speaker cutouts will accommodate these new speakers without any
modifications. When the speaker has been correctly installed, there should be no air leaks
between the front and back of the speaker.
•
For door installations, check the clearance of the windows throughout the entire range of the
window’s travel.
•
Check the available mounting depth before installing the speaker. Use care when removing
factory grills, door panels and factory speakers.
2-WAY COMPONENT CONVERTIBLE SPEAKER SET
These component speakers can also be used coaxial speakers; making them “convertibles”. The
mid range speaker will fit into many standard factory mounting holes in your vehicle.
To find the best suitable location, carefully remove the trim panels and inspect the installation area
before you cut and drill any holes required to mount the speaker. Removing the panel will also make
it much easier to route wiring inside the doors. Look for original equipment (OEM) speaker cutouts
that can be used to install your speakers with little or no modifications. Use the supplied template
to help you locate and mark the holes needed to install the speakers.
If you planning to install your speakers in the door panel, be sure the speaker will not interfere with
the window lowering mechanism. Use care so the speaker wires will clear all moving parts inside
the door.
Should you need to cut or drill in order to mount your speaker be sure to thoroughly clean the area
of all filings and shavings before you mount the speaker.
COMPONENT SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Your speakers have been assembled at the factory as components. This portion of the manual will
cover component system installation.
2XL Component Midrange
The proper installation procedure for mounting these high performance midrange speakers is to se-
cure the speaker to the vehicle’s speaker mounting hole. The speaker should fit snug to the location
without air gaps. Never force the a speaker into an area that is too small, this can cause damage to
the speaker. Once the speaker is in place, determine if the supplied grill needs to be installed. If so,
place the grill in place over the speaker and screw the speaker into the mounting hole.
