FINAL WOOFER INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE WOOFERS IN FACTORY LOCATIONS
Most of today´s newer cars have speaker grilles which blend in aesthetically with the interior of the car.
The grille is usually held in with small screws or spring clips. To remove a clipped on grille, gently pry up
on the side with a flat blade screwdriver. (Some grilles are an integral part of the door such that the entire
door panel must be removed to expose the speaker.) Once the factory speaker is exposed, remove the
hardware and replace the factory unit with the new Velocity unit.
REAR DECK MOUNTING
Rear deck or sail panel installations are easily accommodated with these speakers since the woofers can
often drop into factory holes or may require a simple adaptor plate which can be purchased or formed
from wood.
INSTALLING THE VELOCITY SOUND SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE
We recommend the use of our high-quality Velocity VMT 36 or VMT 42 tweeters together with our Veloci-
ty VMX 12 or VEX 01 crossovers. As long as they are installed correctly, component systems produce an
extremely authentic sound over a broad range of frequencies with the position of each particular sound
source being clearly defined. The position of the tweeters plays the most important role in this. We re-
commend you carry out a simple experiment to work out the best possible position for the tweeters.
1. Complete all of the installation except for the tweeters (i.e., woofers, crossover and wiring).
2. Have a friend sit in the passenger´s seat while you sit in the driver´s seat, each holding a Velocity
tweeter up to the door.
3. With music having good high frequency content, move the tweeters around listening for the best high
frequency response yet maintaining a good left/right acoustical balance in the car.
Mounting the tweeters mid level and as far forward in the door panel is often the best acoustical loca-
tion in most cars. In most cases, the preferred location usually has the tweeters facing the opposite
occupant in the car.
4. Enjoy the music, with good tonal balance and good staging in your car.
