FACTS ABOUT DLS REFERENCE 3-WAY SYSTEM
Car stereo /
amplifier
BASS LEVEL SELECT:
The bass level can be selected
in two steps by connecting the
two red cables, inside the filter,
with each other. When
connected together the bass
level is high.
Thank you for buying a DLS REFERENCE 3-way system. This
instruction will help you to do a correct installation. If you want to
get the best sound from your speakers we advice you to read
and follow this instruction. For best result use high quality speaker
cables, minimum 1,5 mm
2
. For example the DLS SC 2 x 1,5.
MOUNTING:
Mount the speakers in the door or in the dashboard of your car.
Normally they will fit in the cars original mounting hole. If possible
reinforce with a baffle of MDF-board or similar. An installation high
up on the door side is to be prefered. An alternative installation is
in so called kick panels down on each side of the floor with the
speakers facing up- and inwards towards the listener. An installa-
tion of the tweeter together with the bass/mid element is to be
prefered. The tweeter can be installed on the dash-board or
recessed in the door with the accessories in the tweeter box.
It is important to fasten the speakers properly in order to avoid bad
sound and rattling.
The filters included with the speakers must also be fastened
properly to avoid rattling. Don´t install them close to the cars
internal wiring, this can cause interference. Make sure the cables
don´t get jammed causing a short circuit to ground. This can
damage the amplifier circuits.
The speaker grilles are mounted in the plastic speaker frame by
the use of the rubber compound coming with the speaker. Spread
the compound even in the frame. The sealing strip coming with the
kit can be used for improved sealing between the bass element
and the mounting surface.
The tweeter installation is described in the instruction sheet
coming with the tweeters.
Speaker connection and tweeter level select:
The system should be connected as in the drawing. Select tweeter level by
connecting the green cable to either the red or yellow cable coming out from
the filter box. Make your own tests for best result. Sometimes the midrange
can be improved by phase reversing the tweeter. Try it and make your own
judgement.
NOTE! Both filters must be used. If the tweeters are
connected without filter they may be damaged and the sound
reproduction will be bad. The large filter box has no built-in
tweeter filter so you must use the in-line filter as well

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.
If 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
speakers, to the output terminals of your car stereo or
amplifier.
BUILDING BOXES
If you want to build a box to your speaker a sealed type is to
be prefered. The box volume can var y depending on how
much bass you want from your speakers. For fullrange use
of the speakers, follow the recommended box volumes in the
table. If you want to limit the reproduction at for ex. 100 Hz,
divide these volumes by half.
