TWEETER INSTALLATION:

The dome tweeters supplied with your TR650-CSi system have been designed for surface or flush mounting. Before choosing a method, carefully inspect the desired mounting location to determine which method will work best.

1)Flush Mounting will yield a custom-installed appearance, but will require at least 3/4-inch (19 mm) of clearance behind the mounting surface of the tweeter.

2)Surface Mounting, using the supplied surface mount kit and hardware requires the drilling of three holes (one for the wires and two 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.

TWEETER CONNECTIONS:

Run the supplied wiring harness with the in-line filter from the extra tabs on the component woofer to the tweeter mounting location.Then connect this harness to the wires attached to the tweeters, observing correct polarity. In some cases, it may be easier to run the tweeter wires directly to the amplifier output, instead of connecting them to the component woofer terminals.This is functionally identical to the first method (it is a simple, parallel connection).

See Wiring Diagram on page 2 for details.

SURFACE MOUNT INSTALLATION:

1)Remove the vehicle panel and check to ensure that the mounting screws will have adequate clearance.

2)Place the surface-mount fixture on the vehicle panel at the desired mounting location and mark the location of the two mounting screw holes and the approximate center of one of the two rectangular cutouts (for the wires).

3)Using a 1/16-inch (1.5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through the panel at the two screw locations.

4)Using a 1/2-inch (12 mm) drill bit, drill the hole for the tweeter’s wires at the location you marked in step 2.

5)Screw the surface mount fixture to the vehicle panel using the supplied #6 sheet metal screws

(hand-tighten).

6)Feed the tweeter wires through the rectangular hole in the mounting fixture and the 1/2-inch hole you drilled in the panel.Then, snap the tweeter into the surface mount fixture.

7)Connect the tweeter’s wires to the supplied harness with the in-line high-pass filter.

8)Re-install the vehicle panel, taking care to

route the new wiring so as not to interfere with any vehicle mechanisms (window mechanisms,

for example).

FLUSH MOUNT INSTALLATION:

1)Remove the vehicle panel and check to ensure that there is at least 3/4 inch (19mm) clearance behind the panel for the tweeter’s magnet structure.

2)Carefully cut a 1 9/16-inch (40 mm) diameter hole in the vehicle panel.This will achieve a snug fit and allow the tweeter flange to conceal the cut line.

3)Insert the tweeter from the front of the panel (do not attach the spring clip at this time).

4)Attach the spring clip from behind the panel using the supplied 1/4 inch (6 mm) machine screw.

5)Tighten the screw by hand until the tweeter is tight on the panel. Do not overtighten.

6)Connect the tweeter’s wires to the supplied harness with the in-line high-pass filter.

7)Re-install the vehicle panel, taking care to route the new wiring so as not to interfere with any vehicle mechanisms (window mechanisms, for example).
