16 T weeter Bolts Panel Bracket T weeter Wire Flush Mount Housing Wiring NO TE: The tweeter grill can be easily remov ed f or coaxial applications, or to f acilitate mounting the tweeter behind an e xisting factory grill. Use the supplied blac k butyl mater ial to attach the tweeter grill for all other applications.
17 CROSSO VER INST ALLA TION The system supports con ventional wiring, Bi-wiring or Bi-amping using the supplied passive crossovers . While conv entional (parallel mode) wiring will provide e xcellent sound, bi-wiring or bi-amping may fur ther enhance the perf or mance in no-compromise systems.
18 After all the connections and any necessar y adjustments have been made snap the cov er back in place. connecting the system T r im the speaker wire as needed. Str ip about 1/4" (6 mm) of the insulation from the ends. T wist the exposed strands thoroughly to pre vent an y loose strands from causing a shor t circuit.
19 CROSSO VER CONNECTIONS AND INPUT SWITCH SETTING Route the wires connected to the input ter minals on the crossov er network to the power amplifier . Connect the wires to the amplifier outputs as recommended by the manufacturer of the unit. Make sure there are no stray strands of wire which could cause a shor t circuit.
20 BI-AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS TO CROSSO VER Connections from the crossover to the woof er and tweeter are the same as the normal wiring method. Connect the amplifier you hav e chosen for the tweeter to the “T weeter In” ter minals input. Connect the woof er amplifier to the “Woof er In” ter minals.
21 BI-WIRE CONNECTIONS TO CROSSO VER Connections from the crossover to the woof er and tweeter are the same as the normal wir ing method. Connect the amplifier to the tweeter input ter minals with one r un of wire. Connect the amplifier to the woof er input ter minals with another run of wire.
22 TROUBLESHOO TING Symptom Probab le Cause Remedy No output Source or amplifier not turned on. Check source or amplifier and fix as required. A udio input not con- nected or no output from source. Check RCA connection and signal integrity , fix or replace as required.
