- Do not over-tighten mounting screws, as this can damage the speaker frame.
Whakapiki:
- Choose a suitable mounting location in your car doors or custom enclosures. Ensure sufficient mounting depth (2.44 inches) and clearance for the speaker.
- Use the provided template (if applicable) or measure carefully to mark the cut-out area (Front Mount Baffle Cut Out: 5.7" / 145mm) and screw holes.
- Cut the opening and drill pilot holes for the mounting screws.
- Carefully place the loudspeaker into the opening.
- Secure the speaker using appropriate screws, ensuring a snug fit without excessive force.
Waea waea:

- Connect the negative (-) terminal of the loudspeaker to the negative (-) output of your ampkaikawe
- Me whakarite kia mau nga hononga katoa me te whakamaarama kia kore ai te ara iahiko poto.
- Match the impedance (8 Ohms) of the loudspeaker to your amplifier's capabilities for optimal performance and to prevent damage.
- Whakaritehia to amplifier's RMS power output is within the speaker's RMS rating (225W) to avoid overpowering or underpowering.
Te Whakahaere i To Rorohiko
Once installed, gradually increase the volume and adjust your audio system's settings (equalizer, crossover points) to achieve your desired sound. Midrange speakers are typically used in conjunction with tweeters and subwoofers to create a full-range sound system. Proper crossover settings are crucial to protect the speaker and optimize sound quality.
- Tautuhinga Whakawhiti: For midrange speakers, it is recommended to use a high-pass filter (HPF) to prevent low bass frequencies from reaching the speaker, which can cause distortion and damage. Consult your amplifier or head unit manual for recommended crossover settings.
- Whiwhi Whakatikatika: Whakaritea te amplifier gain correctly to match the output voltage of your head unit. Incorrect gain settings can lead to distortion and speaker damage.
