INSTALLING THEEXACT5.2 DRIVER

The EXACT5.2 Driver can be mounted on the front or rear of a panel; gaskets are provided for both options. The bolt hole configuration will fit a variety of standard American, Asian and European OEM patterns making it ideal for direct replacement. Best performance is achieved when the speaker is securely mounted to a door panel or rear deck. There should be no gaps between the speaker and the mounting surface, as this will impair its low frequency performance. Be certain that both the panel and the speaker are securely mounted to prevent unwanted vibration.

1)Mark the speaker location by using the template provided.

2)Cut the opening and debur the edges with a file.

3)Hold the speaker in place against the mounting surface and mark the mounting bolt holes.

4)Drill the appropriate size hole for the screws provided.

5)Make all speaker connections prior to mounting the speaker to the panel.

6)Place the EXACT5.2 into the trim ring, make the speaker wire connections, then install the speaker/trim ring assembly to the panel using the screws provided. Affix the grille.

7)When routing speaker cables to the EXACT driver, it is important to form a drip loop in the cable below the level of the speaker to keep water from reaching it. See
