permanent hearing loss.
PLATINUM FORMAT FEATURES:
•
HEATT
Technology
means our
Platinum Format
drivers handle more power with
less distortion. A layer of nickel, bonded to an injection molded
cone, dissipates heat
from the voice coil. The nickel layer also increases the stiffness of the cone for less
harmonic distortion at high power.
•
The
Butyl Rubber Surround
has superior damping characteristics and will last longer
than foam surrounds
•
Titanium Dome Swivel Tweeters with Neodymium Magnets
provide smooth response
beyond 25kHz for crystal clear high frequencies. Swivel tweeters can be aimed precisely
for best stereo imaging. Flush, surface, or angle mount for complete flexibility in
planning your installation.
•
Matched 12dB/Octave Crossovers
with +2dB/-2dB tweeter level adjustment for precise
system tuning.
•
A
Black Chrome Plated Frame
provides a distinctive appearance in keeping with the

Platinum
" designation.
•
A
Rubber Magnet Cover
protects the magnet from chipping or breaking.

III.
Installation- Crossovers
1.
Choose mounting locations for your Platinum Format crossovers. Make sure the the
crossovers will not obstruct the mechanical function of any device or system in the
vehicle. Be sure the mounting location and the drilling of screw holes for mounting will
not present a hazard to any wires, control cables, fuel lines, fuel tanks, hydraulic lines, or
other vehicle systems or components.
2.
Press the indentation at the end opposite the connecting terminals and lift off the
crossover cover. If you wish to mount the crossover to a flat surface, use the crossover as
a template to mark where to drill the mounting holes. Use a 1/8”(3mm) bit, drill the
holes and use the supplied screws to mount the crossover.
3.
You may want to mount the crossovers in an accessible location so you can easily change
the tweeter output level by moving the jumper to +2dB, -2dB or 0dB.
