CONFIGURATION
Before mounting and wiring the QSS component system, determine which confi guration you will use for
the speakers and crossover.
QSS Speaker
Confi gurations
ADVANTAGES
CONSIDERATIONS
Coaxial
great for space-limited applications
or when separate tweeter mounting
is not possible
high frequencies may not be as
prominent | tweeter output may
need to be increased at crossover
Separates
optimal sound quality and improved
sonic imaging (with proper tweeter
mounting)
trickier install | vehicle must have a
good tweeter mounting location
QSS Crossover
Confi gurations
ADVANTAGES
CONSIDERATIONS
Conventional 2-way
easy install | ideal when available
amplifi er channels are limited
audio fi delity not quite as high as
bi-amplifi ed confi guration
Bi-amplifi ed
optimal sound quality; more effi cient
usage of amplifi er power
requires at least 4 amplifi er
channels | slightly trickier install
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
The QSS component system comes packaged in a separates confi guration.
To use a coaxial confi guration, see
Fig. 1
and follow these steps:
1. Unscrew and remove the aluminum phase plug from the center of the woofer.
2. Screw the coaxial mounting adapter into the woofer in place of the phase plug.
3. Screw the tweeter into the tweeter post.
4. Thread the tweeter’s lead wires through the center of the woofer.
5. Snap the tweeter post onto the coaxial mounting adapter.
6. Rotate the tweeter clockwise for the most appealing position.
7. Secure the tweeter’s lead wires using the clip on the underside of the woofer.
