Important recommendations
Before attempting any installation work, it is very important to verify how much space is
available to fit the speakers into the vehicle.
Key points:
• For direct replacement of original speakers, please check there is enough space for your
new Focal speakers and grilles.
• Ensure the speaker is clean from debris and metallic particles that maybe attached
(especially after drilling)
• Use the foam gasket supplied (inside the grille), for airtight placement of the speaker into
the panel.
• Do not touch the tweeter cone.
Choice of installation and positioning the tweeter
To achieve best results for your installation, please follow these simple guidelines
• Use a variety of speakers to achieve a large bandwidth, the most central possible.
• Speakers positioned in the most forward location possible, for correct staging
• Tweeters positioned preferably high in the doors or in the dash (if space permitting),
to obtain un-muddled high and midrange frequencies. These being directive to the
listener.
• To position the tweeters direct in-line to the listeners ears, for improved imaging.
Prefered woofer and
mid-range positions.
