wiring.

Connections should first be made with the rear cover removed to allow for adjustment of the crossover settings. The tweeter level has jumper positions for +2dB, 0dB and -2dB attenuation. When you have chosen the final settings, replace the rear cover section and tighten the two hold- down screws.

The following diagram ￿ shows the basic installation for the HEX™ 2-way systems. This basic layout is the “starter” for many show winning audio systems. The computer-optimized crossovers implement a Second-Order Linkwitz-Riley aligned filter, Zobel correction and Peak indication.

To begin, (1) connect the amplifier’s speaker output to the crossover’s INPUT terminals. Then, (2) connect the terminals labeled WOOFER to the HEX woofer/midbass driver and, (3) connect the TWEETER terminals to the HEX tweeter. Finished! The remaining RAF outputs may be used for an optional (available from your DAT dealer) rear-fill driver, coaxial speaker or even the factory original rear speakers. For applications requiring timbre-matched drivers, we suggest using the S4.0m or S5.0m units. The RAF output features attenuation of -10dB for optimum level matching and com- pensation for vehicle size and length.
