Mount the 6.5-inch woofers securely in the designated speaker locations in your vehicle's doors or panels. Ensure a tight fit to prevent vibrations and rattles. Use the provided mounting hardware.

Install the tweeters in a location that provides optimal sound imaging, typically at ear level or slightly above. Various mounting options (flush, surface, or angle) may be available depending on your vehicle and the tweeter's design. Connect the tweeter wires to the crossover.

Crossover konexioa

The external crossover filters are essential for directing the correct frequency ranges to the woofers and tweeters. Connect the input terminals of the crossover to your amplifier or head unit's speaker outputs. Then, connect the woofer output from the crossover to the 6.5-inch woofer and the tweeter output to the tweeter. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for all connections.

Avoid excessive volume levels for prolonged periods to prevent speaker damage and hearing loss.
