Tweeter Installation

When flush or surface mounting tweeters, make sure desired location can accommodate the hole sizes
and depth required. Mount cup using provided hardware, flush mount illustration shown below. Mount
surface cup with provided screws in tweeter mounting kit. Snake speaker wires through tweeter cup,
connect tweeter to wires and snap tweeter into cup by pushing down gently. Be careful not push on
the center of the tweeter grill.

Crossover Installation

Install in a well ventilated area whenever possible. If you must install the passive crossovers in the doors due
to the use of factory wiring. As you "feed" into the door cavity, ensure that the crossover is installed behind
the door panel instead of inside the door itself. This will offer the greatest capacity for avoiding any water
damage caused by rain or moisture. Also avoid placing it near factory wiring looms to ensure no radiated noise
problems. Connect the input side labeled "INPUT" of each passive crossover to the amplifier's speaker output
terminals. Be sure to observe correct polarity for positive and negative terminals. Next, connect the middle
terminals labeled "WOOFER" to the midrange speaker. Be sure that the wiring is protected all the way to the
terminal and that the wires are secure at both the speaker and passive crossover. Finally, connect the end
terminals labeled "TWEETER" to the tweeter. Be careful to observe the correct polarity when connecting
the tweeter to its lead wires as these are smaller gauge and require care and patience to connect correctly.
Each ST65C or SPRO65C component crossover has a third set of outputs marked "RAF". This stands for Rear
Acoustic Fill. This output can be used to power and additional speaker off the same channel without effecting
the impedance load on the source unit. The level of this output is pre-determined at -10dB of attenuation, for
a REAL "rear fill" This creates a much more real stereo image and a bigger sound stage.
