Whenever you run wires through sheet metal, use tape or grommets to properly
insulate the metal edges from cable jackets. This technique prevents chafing
and possible short circuits that could damage an amplifier or the loudspeakers.

The tweeters should only be installed through a crossover.

Replace the automobile battery connector and test the loudspeaker
system.
Please use only the enclosed crimp-type terminals when connecting
and do not solder them to avoid possible damage to the components.
Caution: Do not apply power to the tweeters without first installing
crossovers.

If you plan to use grilles or panels in front of the loudspeaker, ensure
that sufficient space is available for the path of the loudspeaker cone.
Should the distance not be sufficient, the cone could vibrate
against the grille or panel thus damaging the loudspeaker.
Installing the Tweeters
Consider that repeated opening and closing of the car door can result
in loosening of the tweeter fastening devices, when the loudspeaker is
mounted in the door panel.

Attention: If sheet metal must be cut or removed contact your
authorized car dealer for professional advice. By damage to sup-
porting body structures the safety certificate may be withdrawn.
Caution: Use care when removing interior trim panels. Car manu-
facturers use a variety of fastening devices that can be damaged in the
disassembly process.
