OU FOR CHOOSING
Congratulations! You are the now the owner of an exceptional loudspeaker from the audio enthusiasts at Blaupunkt. Our
engineering staff has spent considerable time refining our overdrive components in order to introduce great sound to the
consumer at an affordable price. Based upon our previous generation of components, we carryover the rugged design but
enhance it with the new AIP woofers and MMT tweeter mounting system.
Not only do we offer you a great product but also a supportive owners manual. Although technically informative, we are
also are very concerned about the end consumer using proper installation techniques for the highest performance possible
from their new loudspeakers. MOST important to us are concerns with safety and the installation process. Since our
Blaupunkt retail dealers have the tools and experience for an optimized and safe installation, we always recommend they do
the final vehicle integration. But, should you choose to install these products yourself, please take the time to read this
manual completely and abide by all precautions.

It has been repeatedly proven that remarkably high audio system performance can be achieved by moderately priced
components. The overdrive components are designed for HIGH POWER HANDLING LEVELS, HIGH SOUND PRESSURE
LEVELS, and FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION.
One feature of our new components is the aluminum injected plastic woofer cone material offering lighter mass compared to
older paper cones but without the flexing properties common to paper. This gives a much "tighter" midrange and bass
response without distortions often found at high listening levels. Below is a summary comparing conventional cones with
the new technologies.

Plastic Cones
In addition to the Aluminum injected plastic cones is the "MMT" Multi Mount Tweeter program. Such a tweeter design
ensures that nearly every possible installation requiring a remote component tweeter is easily, and attractively, completed.
The key to this program is the large plastic "nut" that allows you to "screw in" the mounting cups for the tweeter by feel. No
more tiny screws that are difficult to see and attach once the cup is mounted to a door panel for example.

New "AIP" Aluminum injected Plastic Cones
•
Lightweight, and mechanically rigid, plastic cones play louder with less power
•
Acoustically inert, injected plastic cones do not "color" the sound of the music
•
Environmentally resilient plastic maintains shape & thickness, ensuring premium tonal quality
for years
Conventional Inexpensive Paper/Plastic Cones
•
Non-uniform cone thicknesses (are heavy & often generate internal "bending" motions)
•
Self-resonant materials & construction (standing waves occur yielding strong tonal shifts)
•
Paper & cheap plastic cones warp & change mass over time due to swings in temperature
& humidity (degrading performance)
•
Surface mount the tweeter for quick and simple installations
•
Dash mount the tweeter using the universal opening adapter that drops into 3.5", 4", 4x6",
5.25", and 6" openings.
•
Flush Mount the tweeter to disguise the install with a clean, low profile, factory looking design.
•
Flush-Angle Mount provides optimized cross-car high frequency imaging due to the angle
mounting of the tweeter with deep cups for thicker door panels.
