SOUND QUALITY

Obtaining the highest quality sound reproduction in the mobile environment requires installation techniques and knowledge of vehicle interiors that go far beyond simple replacement of stock speakers. Speaker location, orientation, phasing, and the vehicles interior mate- rials are important considerations when

designing and installing an auto sound system.

To achieve the best sound quality possible from your Viper Audio loud- speakers, Directed recommends the installation be performed by an MECP certified technician.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

The Viper 550.2/650.2 neodymium separates are designed for installation into factory speaker locations, custom mounting enclosures or any flat mounting surface inside the vehicle with sufficient rear clearance. The following precautions and instructions cover the basic and most common types of installation.

„Check behind panels for clearance of metal brackets, hoses, and wire harnesses before making any cuts.

„When mounting speakers into doors, roll the window up and down to check clearance of the glass and window regulator.

„Make sure the mounting holes are the correct size for the speaker. Undersized holes can cause speaker

distortion or shorting of the speaker leads to the chassis ground. Over- sized holes will not allow the mounting screws to make sufficient contact with the panel, allowing the speaker to become loose.

„Always protect the wires when routing by avoiding sharp metal edges, moving parts such as heater or vent controls, clutch pedals, brake pedals, steering columns, and power window motors and gears.

„When routing wires through metal panels and doorjambs always use vinyl tubing and grommets for protection and a professional-looking installation.
