Page 4: Location And Mounting
LOCATION The first step in a successful installation is thorough planning. Choose the location for your speaker components carefully. Follow these suggestions to ensure proper imaging MOUNTING and the best performance: • Select a location where each tweeter and midrange/woofer can be mounted close to each other. - Page 5 TWEETER 1) Remove the tweeter's plastic backplate by separating the plate from the tweeter SURFACE housing with your two thumbnails at one MOUNTING of the terminal locations, gently prying the two pieces until they snap apart. See Figure 3. 2) Mark the location in which you are going to mount the tweeter using the supplied template and drill holes for each of the two wires.
- Page 6 INSTALLING The EXC Midrange/Woofer 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 OEM patterns making it THE EXC ideal for direct replacement. Best performance is achieved when the speaker is securely mounted MIDRANGE- to a door panel or rear deck.
- Page 7 MOUNTING The EXC Passive Crossover can be mounted in virtually any location inside the vehicle. THE EXC Be sure not to mount the EXC system crossover outside the vehicle, or in a location CROSSOVER where it may be exposed to dirt or moisture (e.g., the engine compartment, inside a wheel housing, inside a door, at the bottom of a leaky trunk).
- Page 8 WIRING EXC System Wiring Diagram Figure 8 shows a diagram illustrating the wiring of the EXC Component Speaker System. It is important to make sure that all connections are in phase; that is positive (+) is connected to positive (+), and negative (-) is connected to negative (-), since an out-of- phase connection will cause a dislocated image and low bass output.
- Page 9 NOTES ON Bi-Wiring BI-AMPING The EXC component system includes the EXC passive crossover which is optimized for the speakers. The EXC crossover allows for dual amp inputs. See Figure 9. This feature allows for a 4 channel amplifier or two 2 channel amplifiers to power the four individual drivers of an EXC .6 system.
- Page 10 Bi-Amping NOTES True bi-amping can also be accomplished with an BI-AMPING external electronic crossover. See Figure 10. (CONTD.) Even greater dynamics can be realized with bandwidth-limited amplifiers. If your decide to bi- amp, please follow the recommendations below: 1) Use at least a 12dB/octave high pass filter no higher than 1500 Hz on the tweeters.
