Do not use your automobile until all components of the loudspeaker
system have been secured to the interior framework. Failure to do so
may turn a component into a dangerous, flying projectile during a
sudden stop or accident.
Do not drill or drive screws through any vehicle interior or carpeted
floor before inspecting the underside for potential punctures to control
lines or cables. Be sure to avoid all fuel lines, brake lines, electrical
cables or oil lines when planning the installation.
Before beginning installation of the loudspeaker system remove the
minus connector from the automobile battery in order to avoid
possible short circuits.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Choosing a Location
For ease of installation use original factory speaker locations. Using these
positions will save considerable installation time and provide the best optical
integration. Avoid installing speakers behind thick stock fabric or cloth. This
could - especially in the case of tweeters - restrict output and reduce sound
volume.
Installation too close to reflective surfaces can negatively affect stereo imaging.
The distance between each mid/woofer and tweeter pair should not exceed 60
cm. We suggest first mounting your mid/woofer and attaching the cables. Then
you can determine the optimum tweeter location by auditioning the tweeters at
several positions in your automobile before permanent installation.
Installing the Tweeters
The tweeters can be flush- and surface- (only CX 280) mounted. Consider that
repeated opening and closing of the car door can result in loosening of the
tweeter fastening devices, when the loudspeaker is mounted in the door panel.

Flush mounting:
Use the enclosed drilling template to cut a suit-
able hole. Lay the leading connector cable and mount the parts as
shown in
figure 1 and 3.
Caution: Use care when removing interior trim panels. Car manu-
facturers use a variety of fastening devices that can be damaged in the
disassembly process.
