INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing MTX to help reach your ultimate goal with your vehicle. Adding MTX TXC High-end Component speakers and a matching MTX amplifier with StreetWires connections will put you in a better position to hear, feel, and experience all of the music the artist intended.

TXC series component speakers are the best in the MTX offering of full-range speakers. They offer many added features that are designed for the distinguished listener. Five levels of tweeter attenua- tion, three positions of Off-axis adjustments, and Bi-amp inputs are just some of the features that will help reproduce the music with exceptional dynamics and detail regardless on mounting location and position within the vehicle. The TXC series also offers an add-on midbass driver and/or tweeter that further define the musical experience. The TXC6.0 is an additional woofer that can change this 2-way system into a true 3-way system, while the TXC.1 is an additional tweeter that adds a new dimension to the imaging.

BEFORE STARTING

MTX recommends that you have your new speakers installed by an authorized MTX retailer, prefer- ably MECP certified. If you do decide to do it yourself, make sure you have read the instructions carefully and that you have the following tools:

•Electric drill

•Phillips bit or screwdriver

•1/8” bit

•Door panel puller

•Wire cutters/crimpers

•Metal cutting tool

•Safety glasses

•2mm hex wrench

•X-acto knife

Throughout installation, keep in mind the ultimate objective of creating an ideal soundstage and ex- ceptional imaging. This refers to the experience you get when you sit in your seat with your head up and shoulders straight, close your eyes, and listen. Where does the music seem to be coming from? In an ideal world, you would hear all music from front and center, meaning it sounds like a band is performing on your hood. Raising the soundstage is a very important process and every option should be considered in order to have your sound as up and in front as possible.

Removing the Door Panel

Please be aware that today’s cars have door panels that are not designed to come apart easily; they are designed by the factory to sit tight against the door and not rattle. It is important to note that if the proper procedures are not followed, the door panels can easily become damaged and make them fit improperly when you’re trying to reinstall them.

Use a door panel puller to remove the door panel, and be aware there are often hidden screws that, if overlooked, can cause the panel to crack or break when force is applied to remove door panel. It might be a good idea to do some research on your specific car to be sure they are all removed before continuing. Even new car owner needs to be aware of this potential issue. Buying a new door panel is an expensive process so please take note of the potential for damage.

With the door panel off, it is a perfect time to add sound dampener. The main goal of sound dampen- ers is to add mass to the metal in the door, causing less rattle and “ring” which will help to improve the overall sound of your new speakers. It also helps prevent against outside noise by adding insula- tion. Sound dampening material can be purchased from your local retailer and is available in many different forms, and kits, for many different applications. Please make sure you purchase the correct type for your specific project.

Note: Before cutting anything, please use common sense and make sure that no wires or glass will interfere with cutting tools. ALWAYS WEAR PROPER SAFETY GLASSES. Be sure all wires are clear of moving parts such as window crank mechanisms and trunk hinges. Use rubber grommets when run- ning wires through sharp edged metal holes, which may wear through the wire’s insulation.

Do not mount speakers where they could come in contact with:

•The door’s window glass

•The window crank handle or gear assembly when rotated

•The trunk springs, shock towers, or trunk lid

•The gas tank or fuel lines
