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 tweet-
ers and woofers 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: After checking for clearance, cut the 
mounting hole in the door panel (see Tweeter Specifications for hole size). Mount the Flat Base from the 
outside with the mounting clip on the inside of the door panel. Secure the mounting clip to the Flat Base 
with the long silver screw provided.
 

Surface/Angle Mounting (Type B and C)

If mounting the tweeter on the surface works out best, refer to the following drawing to see how to best 
mount the tweeter. Black sheet metal screws have been provided to attach the surface base to the door 
panel.
