  • Page 6: General Installation Tips

    Installation of marine audio speakers can require extensive experience with a variety of mechanical and electri- cal procedures. Although this application guide explains how to install PowerBass Xtreme marine speakers in a general sense, it may not show the exact installation method for your particular situation. If you feel unsure about personally installing the speaker system, don’t attempt the installation yourself.

  • Page 7: Installation Application

    INSTALLATION APPLICATION Your PowerBass XL marine midrange speakers are specifically designed for boating and water sport applica- tions. Although the speakers do not require a sealed enclosure, air space behind the speaker from 0.2 – 0.5 cu feet (6 – 15 liters) is recommended for best sound reproduction. To prevent the sound coming off the front of the speaker from radiating back to sound from the rear of the speaker it is recommended to use a factory location or find a spot with a semi-isolated rear chamber (see Fig 1).

  • Page 8: Speaker Location

    The sound produced by your PowerBass XL coaxial speakers is directional. Find the best location for stereo- phonic sound. Adding more PowerBass Xtreme speakers to the system will not only help to balance the sound, but it will increase the power handling of the system enabling it to play louder.

  • Page 11 Flush Mounting (Type A) The best location for the tweeter is usually high up on a flat surface and as far forward as pos- sible without interference from other accessories. If the desired location is flat and enough depth exists behind the mounting panel allows the use of the flush mount housing, follow the drawing as shown below: After checking for clearance, cut the mounting hole in the panel (see Tweeter Template for hole size) following same procedures shown in fig.3 and 4 for the midrange.
  • Page 12 MET Component Tweeter These high quality tweeters come complete with two mounting housings for installation versatil- ity. Typically tweeters should be mounted on axis and as close to ear level as possible and as close to the mid range as possible. After you have chosen the housing to be used, gently press the tweeter in the proper mounting base.
  • Page 13 CROSSOVER NETWORK INSTALLATION AND WIRING Your PowerBass XL Marine Component system contains two separate 2-way crossover networks. When choosing a location to mount the crossovers, keep in mind they contain electronic parts which can be damaged by moisture - avoid areas where standing water may collect in the vessel.
