The enclosed stereo crossover can be mounted in any con-
venient location. However, do not mount a crossover in an
exposed outside area, and try to place it closer to the
speakers than an amplifier.
NOTE: Use only the enclosed Infinity crossover. It is specifi-
cally designed to work with the Reference 6513cs speakers.
Use of any other crossover may damage one or more audio
components and is not covered by the warranty.
1. At the chosen site, use the crossover as a template to
mark the screw holes. Make sure the intended site pro-
vides necessary clearance for the mounting screws.
2. Use a hole punch for drilling guides. If necessary, clear
away any carpet or other material prior to drilling.
3. Use a drill with a 3.2 mm (
1
⁄
8
") bit to drill four holes.
4. Fasten the crossover to the surface with its supplied
self-adhesive backing strip to reduce vibration, and
then tighten its mounting screws.
5. Depending on your system configuration (refer to
Figures 1 to 3 on pages 3 and 4), pre-run the supplied
speaker wires from each amplifier output to each asso-
ciated crossover input and make the connections.
NOTE: The crossover provides additional level outputs
(e.g., LO and HI for midrange and LO, MID, and HI for
the tweeter) for sound adjustment. A later section,
Adjusting The Sound, explains these options.

For most applications, the woofers and midrange drivers
will not need new openings, since they are specifically
designed to drop into existing cutouts in most cars, trucks,
and vans. However, if you decide to install a woofer or
midrange driver in a non-standard location, use the appro-
priate supplied template to trace a mounting site. Also
observe the following mounting precautions:
• Check the sites for adequate clearance and potential
water leakage. Make sure components will not interfere
with the operation of door controls or windows. Avoid
contact with door frames, handles, and window tracks.
• Pick a location with a strong, rigid structure to support
the weight of the component. You may have to build out
the mounting area if sufficient metal does not exist.

To install the Reference 6513cs woofers and midrange dri-
vers, refer to Figures 4 and 5 (on the next page) as you per-
form the following steps:
1. For woofer and midrange driver installations in exist-
ing cutouts, start with step 5. For non-standard woofer
and midrange driver locations, use the supplied tem-
plates to create each cutout. Tape or trace a tem-
plate at each site and mark the locations of the
mounting holes and circumferences of woofer
and midrange baffle openings.
2. Use a hole punch for drilling guides. If neces-
sary, clear away any carpet or other material
prior to drilling.
3. Use a drill with a 3.2 mm (
1
⁄
8
") to drill a pilot hole at
the center of each baffle opening. Then drill holes for
the mounting screws. Use a saber or hole saw to create
a cutout for each baffle opening.
4. Slip a supplied metal mounting clip over each screw
mounting hole. Route the wires for each woofer and
midrange driver from the crossover connections
through each respective speaker cutout and attach
them to the keyed terminals on each component.
5. Position each component into its cutout and align the
mounting holes to the drilled holes. Push the wires into
each opening and fasten each component with the sup-
plied screws. Place a supplied grille over each speaker.
