© 2004 Directed Electronics, Inc FEATURES Tweeter • New hotter 19mm ferrofluid cooled silk dome tweeters with neodymium magnet. • 2 Angled and 2 non-angled 19mm flush and surface mount tweeter housings provided. WARNING High-powered car audio systems may produce sound pressure levels that exceed the threshold at which hearing loss may result. SOUND QUALITY Obtaining the highest quality sound reproduction in the mobile environment requires installation techniques and knowledge of vehicle interiors that go far beyond simple replacement of stock speakers. Speaker location, orientation, phasing, and the vehicles interior materials are important considerations when • Crossover assemblies for each tweeter. • Butyl rubber segments provided to facilitate grill mounting, sealing air leaks, or damping unwanted vibration. They may also impair a driver’s ability to hear traffic sounds or emergency vehicles. Use common sense and practice safe listening habits when listening to or adjusting your audio system. designing and installing an auto sound system. To achieve the best sound quality possible from your Directed SX loudspeakers, Directed recommends the installation be performed by an MECP certified technician. © 2004 Directed Electronics, Inc INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS The Directed SX series neodymium separates are designed for installation into factory speaker locations, custom mounting enclosures or any flat mounting surface inside the vehicle. The following precautions and instructions cover the basic and most common types of installation. • Check behind panels for clearance of metal brackets, hoses, and wire harnesses before making any cuts. • When mounting speakers into doors, roll the window up and down to check clearance of the glass and window regulator. • Make sure the mounting holes are the correct size for the speaker. Undersized holes can cause speaker distortion or shorting of the speaker leads to the chassis ground. Oversized holes will not allow the mounting screws to make sufficient contact with the panel, allowing the speaker to become loose. • Always protect the wires when routing by avoiding sharp metal edges, moving parts such as heater or vent controls, clutch pedals, brake pedals, steering columns, and power window motors and gears. • When routing wires through metal panels and doorjambs always use vinyl tubing and grommets for protection and a professional-looking installation. TWEETER CROSSOVER INSTALLATION N NNo oot tte ee: :: The Black/White wire is the positive (+) audio wire. 1. There are provided two crossover assemblies, one for each tweeter. 2. After the tweeter locations have been determined. Route the wiring from the OUT side of the crossover and connect it to the tweeter wiring. Ensure you observe polarity of wires during wiring. N NNo oot tte ee: :: Shut power off to amplifier prior to completing the next step. 3. The IN side of the crossover is connected to the amplifier. Ensure you observe polarity of wires during wiring. 4. Wire tie the crossover assembly and the crossover wiring to existing vehicle cabling. © 2004 Directed Electronics, Inc TWEETER INSTALLATION Review the Installation Precautions section of this guide before proceeding. Flush Mounting into Mounted Panels N NNo oot tte ee: :: Use either the standard mount housing or the angled mount housing. 1. Determine the tweeter mounting location, then route the wires from the crossover to the tweeter location. 2. Mark the center point of the tweeter location. 3. If using a hole saw, first drill a pilot hole, then cut out the hole using a standard 1-3/4" hole saw. 4. If not using a hole saw, use either the cardboard packaging for the tweeters or the surface mount trim ring as a template to mark the proper size hole. Cut out the hole. 5. Remove the tweeter grill, and the remove the tweeter from the surface mount housing using the tweeter tool (turn CW). Insert the proper length machine bolt through the housing and connect to the metal mounting bracket. (See Figure 2.) 6. Connect the speaker wires observing the correct polarity. 7. Press the metal bracket portion of the assembly through the hole. 8. Screw the bolts in until the tweeter housing is firmly mounted to the panel. 9. Insert the tweeter into the housing and use the tweeter tool and rotate the tweeter CCW till locked. Attach the tweeter grill.
