TWEETER INSTALLATION
First, run speaker wires from the tweeter output of the crossover (see diagrams on page 5) to the desired tweeter mounting locations, observing the same precautions as mentioned in the woofer installation section. Terminate the wires with the supplied 2.8 mm male crimpable connectors.
TWEETER FiXTURE INSTALLATION The dome tweeters supplied with your
C5-653 system have been designed for maximum mounting versatility. There are two primary methods by which the tweeters can be mounted in your vehicle:
Flush-Mount:For tweeter integration in a clean, unobtrusive manner, you will use the supplied flush-mount cups. This compact mounting fixture is installed using the method illustrated in Diagram H and requires a mounting hole with a diameter of 1.50 in. (38.1 mm).
At least 3/4-inch (19 mm) of clearance is required behind the mounting surface of the tweeter for the spring clips and 1.18-inch machine screws used in mounting the fixture. It may be necessary in some limited depth applications to cut down the length of the machine screw, or to use a shorter screw (not supplied). Hand-tighten the machine screw until the fixture is secure.
Surface-Mount:In this application, you will not need to cut large holes in your vehicle’s panels for the tweeters. You will only need to drill a hole for the wires and two smaller holes for the mounting screws. This application is useful when mounting the tweeters to a panel that has insufficient clearance behind it for the tweeter’s magnet structure.
Using the fixture as a template, mark the screw hole locations and a location in the center of the fixture for the wire hole. Remove the fixture and drill pilot holes for the screws and a 3/32-inch (2.4
mm)for the wires. Use the supplied #6 x 1-inch sheet metal screws to secure the fixture as shown in Diagram I (hand-tighten). Run the tweeter’s wires through the hole and insert the tweeter until it snaps into place.
