SX Component Speaker Set Manual
TWEETER ADJUSTMENT SWITCH
When installing your SX Component system you may want
to adjust your tweeter setting to fit your specific application.
Phoenix Gold has provided a tweeter adjustment switch in
the SX Component System crossover.To access this switch
you must first remove the crossover cover by squeezing the
tabs on the side of the unit (Figure 4) and gently twisting the
lid counter clockwise. Once the lid is removed you will see a
switch located in the center of the circuit board. To increase
the tweeter output move the switch to the +2dB position. If this
switch is in the +2dB location and you want to decrease the
tweeter output move the switch to the 0dB position. Once you
have your crossover configured place the lid back into place
by centering the lid over the circuit board and press straight
down until it snaps into place.
You will have to do this for each of the two crossovers included
with this SX Component System. The process is the same for
each.
TWEETER INSTALLATION
With a variety of supplied mounting options, the SX series
tweeter is easy to install in any vehicle. Each SX component set
comes with a flush mount and surface mount installation kit. For
other custom mounting configurations, please contact your
authorized Phoenix Gold Dealer.
Flush Mount: For optimal tweeter installation, use the FLUSH
MOUNT option. The FLUSH MOUNT
requires 3⁄4” depth and a
2-1/16” hole in the mounting surface (figure 5)
Surface Mount: Screws are provided for use when cutting a hole
in the door panel or other mounting surface is not an option.
Make sure that the surface mount location is free of passenger
movement that might damage the tweeter. (figure 6)
The SX tweeters pivot in their housings. This allows the user to
align the tweeter during the installation process for optimum
listening results.
For best results, always try to maintain equal path lengths
between the right and the left tweeter and the listening
position. This is usually accomplished by mounting as low
and deep as possible in a kick panel installation, or high and
deep in a dashboard installation. Be cautious in dashboard
installations not to reflect the tweeter off of the windshield:
this increases reflections and can greatly diminish the overall
system listening quality.
For door panel installations, try to angle the tweeters toward
the listener to optimize high frequency performance.
