Install the HEX tweeters. Try listening to the tweeters in several positions to get
the best imaging results BEFORE YOU CUT YOUR PANELS! Remember: the best
visual location may not be the best sounding one. Listen to the system with the
tweeter connected in-phase (+ to +) and reversed (+ to ) before making a final
