TWEETERS

WARNING: Do not operate the tweet- ers without crossover networks. Damage to the tweeter from thermal overload will result without the protec- tion provided by a crossover and will void your warranty.

The Polk Audio Signature Reference tweeter, in component setup, offers two mounting options for installation flexibility. (See Figure 6)

NOTE: If you choose to operate the system with an active crossover, the crossover frequency for the tweeter must be greater than or equal to 3.5kHz with a minimum 3rd order (18dB/octave) slope. Please note that the tweeter could be damaged at excessive listen- ing levels. For the best tweeter protec- tion, use the crossovers supplied with the systems.

TWEETER LEVEL

The jumper levels inside the crossover box adjusts the level (volume) of the tweeter relative to the mid/woofer. Start with the jumper in the “0dB” position and listen.

If you want a “brighter” sound, move to the left position, “+1dB,” (“+2dB”: SR5250) and listen again. The “+1 dB” (“+2dB”: SR5250) setting provides the greatest amount of tweeter output. -1.5dB and -3dB reduce output to a greater degree. (See Figure 10)

POLARITY /

BLENDING

If it seems that the tweeters and drivers are not “blending” seamlessly, change the polar- ity of both tweeters by reversing the positive

(+)and negative (-) tweeter wires at the crossover. Reversing the phase of the tweet- ers will usually optimize the blending of the system components when the tweeters and drivers are located far apart from each other.

AMPLIFIER POWER REQUIREMENTS

Your speakers will work well with a variety of electronic components. As little as 25 Watts (RMS) per channel will deliver ade- quate listening levels in most cars. If you intend to play your system at loud listening levels, more power is necessary to achieve the best performance. Consult your Polk Audio Dealer for specific recommendations. We recommend using an external power amplifier that has a power rating of 50 - 150 Watts per channel to get the best possible performance.
