DLS REFERENCE 6.3 Owner's Manual page 2

Thank you for buying a DLS REFERENCE 3-way system. This
instruction will help you to do a correct installation. If you want to
get the best sound from your speakers we advice you to read
and follow this instruction. For best result use high quality speaker
cables, minimum 1,5 mm 2 . For example the DLS SC 2 x 1,5.
:
MOUNTING
Mount the speakers in the door or in the dashboard of your car.
Normally they will fit in the cars original mounting hole. If possible
reinforce with a baffle of MDF-board or similar. An installation high
up on the door side is to be prefered. An alternative installation is in
so called kick panels down on each side of the floor with the
speakers facing up- and inwards towards the listener. An installa-
tion of the tweeter together with the bass/mid element is to be
prefered. The tweeter can be installed on the dash-board or
recessed in the door with the accessories in the tweeter box.
It is important to fasten the speakers properly in order to avoid bad
sound and rattling.
The filters included with the speakers must also be fastened
properly to avoid rattling. Don´t install them close to the
internal wiring, this can cause interference. Make sure the cables
don´t get jammed causing a short circuit to ground. This can
damage the amplifier circuits.
CONNECT/DISCONNECT THE MIDBASS, JUMPER J1:
If you want to run the midbass driver with an active crossover
using a separate amplifier, and run the midrange and tweeter
through the passive filter box, you must move the jumper J1 to po-
sition OUT. The normal position for this jumper is IN.
TWEETER LEVEL SELECT, JUMPER J2:
The tweeter level can be selected in three steps by moving jumper
J2 between 0, -2dB or -4dB. The lowest tweeter level is achieved
in the -4dB position.
MID LEVEL SELECT, JUMPER J3:
The mid level can be selected in two step by moving jumper J3
between HI and LO position.

SURFACE MOUNTING:
Plain mounting: Use only the plain mounting cup (1) (it´s normally
mounted at delivery). Attach to surface with the two screws or dou-
ble adhesive tape.
Angled mounting: Remove the plain mounting cup by bending with a
small screw driver in the gap (A). Attach the tweeter element to the
angled cup (2) as shown on picture 3. Pull the cable through the
center hole. Now the tweeter can be mounted in two different
angles. Attach to the surface with the two screws or double
adhesive tape.

RECESSED MOUNTING:
Drill a hole in the door side with a diameter of 48 mm /1,89". The in-
stallation becomes easier if the door side is removed from the door.
Put the two metal wings through the two tracks in the center of the
cup, just as the picture shows, and attach them with the M4 screw
and nut through the center hole. Put the tweeter element into the
cup with the cable going out through the bottom hole. Attach the
tweeter element to the plain cup using the mounting ring (C)
attached between the cup and the tweeter element. The metal wings
(B) should be on the back side of the door panel, holding the cup in
place.
RUNNING-IN PERIOD
Allow the speakers to play for at least 15-20 hours. After
this time the performance is correct.
SPEAKER PHASING
To be sure to have the correct speaker polarity (phase) you can
check this by using a 1,5 Volt battery.
Connect a cable from the battery plus-pole to the speaker plus,
and a cable from the battery minus to the speaker minus.
If the speakers are correctly connected the speaker cone should
move outwards on both right and left channel.
This check must be made on the cables going from the speakers,
to the output terminals of your car stereo or amplifier.
