DLS PERFORMANCE SPEAKERS
OWNERS MANUAL
Welcome
Thank you for buying a DLS speaker. This model is a part of
DLS Performance speaker line.
Install the speakers yourself if you feel confident with our in-
structions and if you have the proper tools. A poor installation
job can destroy the final result even from these speakers, so if
you feel unsure, turn over the installation job to someone better
suited to it.
Two-way coaxial system
These speakers have small installation depth and fits mots
modern vehicles. Install the filters in a dry place. Fasten them
with wire ties or similar. If installed in the door side face the con-
nections downwards to avoid moisture inside the filter.
On the right you can see how to connect the filters.
Installation
Speaker drivers:
Mount the speakers in the door sides of your car. We recom-
mend you to install the drivers in a strong baffle of MDF-board
or similar, this will improve the sound very much. For baffle
installation se our advices on next page. If it is possible you
should attach an asphalt damping mat to the door inside, this
will furher improve the sound.
It is important to fasten the speakers properly in order to avoid
bad sound or rattling
Filters:
It’s vital that the filters are attached properly to the interior of
the vehicle. Don’t place them close to the internal wiring of the
car, this can cause interference. Install them in a dry place.
Fasten them with screws or wire ties. If installed in the door
side face the connections downwards to avoid moisture inside
the filter.
The filters must be used, if you connect without them the
sound becomes bad and you will destroy the tweeter.
Wiring:
Use high quality speaker cables. Make sure the cables don’t
get jammed causing a short circuit to ground. This can dama-
ge the output circuits of your head unit or amplifier.
Break-in period
Allow the speakers to play at normal volume for at least 15-20
hours. After this time the performance will be correct.

Warranty service
This speaker is covered by warranty, depending on the condi-
tions in the country where it is sold. If the speaker is returned
for service, please include the original dated receipt (or a copy)
with the product.
Speaker phasing
To be sure to have the correct speaker polarity (phase) you
can check this by using a 1,5 Volt battery.
Connect a cable from the battery plus-pole to the speaker
plus, and a cable from the battery minus to the speaker
minus.
When the speakers are correctly connected the speaker cone
should move outwards on both right and left channel.
This check must be made on the cables going from the spea-
kers, to the output terminals of your car stereo or amplifier.
