MID/WOOFER MOUNTING
The first step is to choose the best mounting location for the tweeters and mid/woofers of your
component speaker system. If you can not mount the mid/woofers to an existing factory cutout,
a good alternative is to buy a set of car specific doorboards made of MDF, so the mid/woofers
can be mounted to a solid surface. Otherwise you should consult your EMPHASER dealer and
ask for further assistance.
Remove the factory grilles of the door and remove the factory installed speakers. On some oc-
casions, you will have to remove the complete doorpanels, to gain full access to the speaker
mounting platforms. If this is the case, you should also buy some spare plastic clips for remoun-
ting the panels, as these clips tend to break easily. A tight fit of the panels is important, becau-
se the doorpanel may strongly vibrate and distort the sound of your speaker system when not
fixed properly. Before you proceed to mount the EMPHASER mid/woofers, check the installati-
on depth in the front doors of your car once more. The windows must be down when you hold
the mid/woofers in place. Insufficient mounting depth leads to impaired window function!
Now connect the speaker cable to the mid/woofer unit and route the speaker cable to the loca-
tion where the crossover will be installed. Pay attention to the polarity imprints, when connecting
the wire to the mid/woofer terminal or crossover!
When you tighten the mounting screws to fix the mid/woofer basket, be sure to go for an airtight
fit of the basket rim to the mounting surface. Once this is done, you can reinstall the factory pla-
stic grilles or the panels of the doors.
If you have chosen another location for your woofer/midrange drivers (other than factory cut-
out), you may also want to install the speaker protection grilles: Mount the mid/woofer directly
onto the plastic-injection trim ring using the provided screws and metal clips. Fix the metal-gril-
le to the plastic trim ring, and for a stronger fit of the grille, you can apply some of the black „che-
wing gum“ pieces contained in the mounting accessory bag.
