INSTALLING THE CROSSOVER

Step 1:  Find  a  location  for  the  crossover  away  from  any  factory  or  after  
 

market  electrical  wires.    It  is  recommended  to  mount  the  passive  

 

crossover  close  to  the  amplifier.    In  the  event  you  decide  to  upgrade  

 

and bi-amplify the system, mounting the passive crossover close to the  

 

amplifier would simplify the installation upgrade.

Step 2:  Remove top cover of crossover housing.  Don’t lose it.

Step 3:  Mark with a marking pen the two mounting holes.

Step 4:  Remove crossover and pre-drill mounting holes using a 1/8” drill bit.

WARNING:

  

Check  for  clearance  of  window  mechanisms  and  electrical  wires 

 

 

BEFORE  you drill.

Step 5:  Mount the crossover using the supplied #8 screws.

Step 6:  Connect the wires.  Make sure the speaker wires for the mid/woofer go to the  
 

woofer  output  and  the  tweeter  to  the  tweeter  output.  

 

Be 

sure 

to 

observe 

the 

correct 

polarity. 

Changing 

the  

 

polarity  of  the  tweeter  may  be  necessary  for  optimum  sound  quality.

Step 7:  Re-install the crossover cover.
