TWEETER MOUNTING

The tweeter can be mounted one of three ways: fl ush, angled and surface. For fl ush mounting applications, see Fig. 4. Choose a fl at location on the panel with space behind the panel to allow room for the short mounting nut, motor structure, and tweeter. After checking the clearances, cut a 1-3/4” (44mm) diameter mounting hole in the panel. Position the short mounting nut behind the panel. Feed the wire through the optional fl ush ring, the hole in the panel, and the mounting nut. Mount the tweeter by screwing the mounting nut onto the tweeter.

For angled mounting applications choose a fl at location on the panel with space behind the panel to allow room for the long mounting nut, motor structure, tweeter post, and back angle ring. After checking the clearances, cut a 1-3/4” (44mm) diameter mounting hole in the panel. Place the front angle ring in front of the panel. Then place the wire and tweeter through the front angle ring and into the panel. Next, place the wire through the back angle ring, place the back angle ring over the rear of the tweeter, and line-up the narrow part of the front angle ring for the preferred angle of operation. Place the wire through the mounting nut and loosely tighten the mounting nut around the tweeter. Rotate all the parts in unison until the tweeter is angled in the desired direction. Secure the assembly by tightening the mounting nut. See Fig. 5.

For surface mounting applications use the surface mount cup as a template and pre-drill one 7/64” (2.5mm) screw hole (using two holes is optional) for attaching the surface mount cup to the panel and a 5/16” (8mm) hole for the wires. An M3 pan-cross head wood screw is supplied to attach the surface mount cup to the panel. Position the tweeter over the surface mount cup and screw it into position. See Fig. 6.
