I need to remove the entire door panel to finish this job?…am I really prepared to put a hole in my door panel?… do I have the tools and the skill?… If not, you should have this system professionally installed by your authorized Diamond Audio Dealer. *(Mistakes I’ve Tried)

“Installation…”

1.) Install the HEX midrange/ midbass/woofer drivers. (refer to “Mounting…”)

2.) Install the crossovers. Make sure you have enough wire to reach all the drivers from the intended mounting location(s).

3.) Install the HEX tweeters. Try listening to the tweeters in several positions to get the best imaging results BEFORE YOU CUT YOUR PANELS! Remember: the best visual location may not be the best sounding one. Listen to the system with the tweeter connected in-phase (+ to +) and reversed (+ to –) before making a final selection.
