holes to be cut. This prevents material or fibers from becoming tangled in the drill bit or cutting blade. If
you are using the packaged metal screws provided in the hardware kit, drill the four speaker mounting
screw holes with a 1/8"(3 mm) drill.
Clean the work areas of all filings and shavings with a vacuum cleaner before you proceed with woofer mounting.
Woofer mounting
Route the speaker wire from the woofer installation locations to the crossovers. Pull the wire through the
installation hole and attach the terminals on the ends to terminals connections on the speakers. Refer to
the speaker wiring section of this manual and the wiring diagrams. Push the wire back into the area
behind the installation location and be sure it will not interfere with the speaker or get snagged by any
mechanisms in the area.
Attach the supplied foam gasket strip to the mounting surface of the speaker. This will ensure an air tight
seal, which is required to achieve the best bass performance.
Install the speakers by gradually tightening each mounting screw. Tighten the screws until the speaker is
well seated, but take care not to over-tighten.
tweeter installation
The speaker system is supplied with four different tweeter mounting options: surface, surface angle, flush,
and angled flush mount. After you have decided which option is best suited to your installation, refer to
the following sections for specific details on mounting the tweeter.
Surface mount (Straight or Angled)
The preparation of the mounting surface for the tweeter involves drilling three holes. Two holes are for
the mounting screws. Their centers must be spaced 15/16” (24 mm) apart. Use a 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit for
the supplied screws to mount the cup. The third 1/4” (7 mm) hole is required for the wire to pass through.
Use the template provided to locate the hole centers. Cut carpeting or fabric away from the hole locations
to prevent tangling of fibers in the drill bit.
Surface mount (Straight or Angled)
Insert two #6 x 3/4" flat head sheet metal screws through
the holes in the bottom of the surface mount cup. Screw
the cup in place. Ensure the mounting screws are driven
in straight, so the heads sit flush on the cup mounting
surface. This ensures the tweeter will seat properly in the
surface mounting cup. The tweeter is then slid into the
mounting cup (tabs aligned with the mounting slots), and
turned counterclockwise to lock in place.
NOTE:
The mounting cup is also supplied with an angled
surface mounting cup (not shown). This allows the
tweeter to be mounted at an optimum acoustic angle for
the listener. Follow the same procedure as above to
mount and assemble the tweeter in this housing.
