We strongly recommend that you have your new Q series speakers installed by your authorized MB Quart dealer. The installation professionals employed by your dealer have the necessary tools and experience to disassemble your vehicle, install your new speakers and reassemble everything properly. If you prefer to perform your own installation, it is very important that you read the entire manual first.

GETTING STARTED:

-Turn off the audio system.

-Check clearance on both sides of mounting surface to ensure that there are no obstructions (windows, tracks, wiring etc).

CROSSOVER NETWORK INSTALLATION:

-Locate a dry location for mounting of your Q Crossover Networks. DO NOT MOUNT IN

DOORS!

-Remove the cover of the crossover by squeezing either side. This exposes the mounting holes for securing the crossover to a flat surface. Prior to pre-drilling pilot holes, ensure that you will not be drilling into wiring, gas tanks, fuel lines etc.

-Once the crossover is mounted, snap the protective cover back in place.

WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR STANDARD WIRING

AND BI-AMP WIRING

Standard Wiring Configuration: This wiring

configuration is used when you want to power

each crossover with a single amplifier channel. It is important that you leave the jumper pins in the locations shown in the diagram labeled Standard.

Bi-Amp Wiring Configuration: This wiring configuration is used when you want to power each crossover with a pair of amplifiers(Bi-Amp) or pair of channels (Bi-Wire). In this mode, the inputs to the woofer’s low-pass filter and the tweeter’s high-pass filter are electrically isolated. This configuration is shown in the diagram labeled

Bi-Amp.
