PowerBass Xtreme Component Tweeter

These high quality tweeters come complete with several mounting housings for installation versatil-
ity. Experiment with the tweeter positioned in several locations to determine the best imaging result 
before cutting out any panel.  Typically tweeters should be mounted on axis and as close to ear level 
as possible. Once a suitable location has been found then you can evaluate your mounting options 
shown on the next page.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

By mounting the tweeter separately from the woofer (or mid-range driver) the installer can choose 
the best location for sound quality and imaging. Optimum results are usually obtained by locating 
the tweeters and midrange speakers relatively close to each other, and by keeping the sound path 
lengths between the listener and the left and right speakers as equal as possible. Three mounting 
types are possible allowing more versatility for the tweeter location. These are flush mount, surface 
mount, and angle mount.

Flush Mounting (Type A)

The best location for the tweeter is usually high up on the door and as far forward as possible 
without interference from the dashboard. If the desired location is flat and space behind the door 
panel allows the use of the flush mount housing, follow the drawing as shown below:
