INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

•  Since  these  speakers  utilize  a  unique  low  profile  swivel  tweeter  housing  that  has  minimal 

tweeter protrusion, original factory mounting cutouts can still be used with the factory grills in 
most cases.

•  These PowerBass Xtreme speakers can be used above or below the mounting hole.  Typically, 

your  vehicle  factory’s  speaker  cutouts  will  accommodate  these  new  speakers  without  any 
modifications.  When the speaker has been correctly installed, there should be no air leaks 
between the front and back of the speaker.

•  For door installations, check the clearance of the windows throughout the entire range of the 

window’s travel.

•  Check the available mounting depth before installing the speaker.  Use care when removing 

factory grills, door panels and factory speakers.

2-WAY COMPONENT CONVERTIBLE SPEAKER SET

These component speakers can also be used Q3 coaxial speakers; making them “convertibles”.  The 
mid range speaker will fit into many standard factory mounting holes in your vehicle.  

To find the best suitable location, carefully remove the trim panels and inspect the installation area 
before you cut and drill any holes required to mount the speaker.  Removing the panel will also make 
it much easier to route wiring inside the doors.  Look for original equipment (OEM) speaker cutouts 
that can be used to install your speakers with little or no modifications.  For a custom installation use 
the supplied template to help you locate and mark the holes needed to install the speakers.

If you planning to install your speakers in the door panel, be sure the speaker will not interfere with 
the window lowering mechanism.  Use care so the speaker wires will clear all moving parts inside 
the door.

Should you need to cut or drill in order to mount your speaker be sure to thoroughly clean the area 
of all filings and shavings before you mount the speaker.

COMPONENT SYSTEM INSTALLATION

Your speakers have been assembled at the factory as components.  This portion of the manual will 
cover component system installation.

3XL Component Midrange

The proper installation procedure for mounting these high performance midrange speakers is to se-
cure the speaker to the vehicle’s speaker mounting hole.  The speaker should fit snug to the location 
without air gaps.  Never force the a speaker into an area that is too small, this can cause damage to 
the speaker. Once the speaker is in place, determine if the supplied grill needs to be installed. If so, 
place the grill in place over the speaker and screw the speaker into the mounting hole.
