Page 8: Profi Line Capabilities
Positioning the Loudspeaker Rainbow loudspeakers may be installed in your vehicle in a variety of places. In determining the installation location the following information should be considered: Woofers require a large area for optimum sound reproduction. Car doors with a large air cushion between the door lining and external metal or the rear windshield deck of an auto with a large trunk are ideal locations. - Page 9 Important: Rear and front windshields strongly reflect the tweeter signal and can make the sound seem shrill and overpowering. Windshields can, for the purpose of support, be used if desired, however, normally installation in the windshield proximity should be avoided. Upholstery absorbs high frequency sounds, making sound reproduction seem flat and dull.
- Page 10 Rear Windshield Deck: The woofer should be arranged in direct proximity to the windshield. This installation position prevents interior-specific difficulties in high-range sound reproduction. The tweeter and midrange should be positioned as near as possible to the woofer. Additionally, attention should be paid that the tweeter is the appropriate distance from the rear window and head rests.

Page 11: Installing And Attaching The Woofer
Installing and Attaching the Woofer CS 230 / CS 265 / CS 365 Note: Do not attach via or puncture the membrane. Do not damage the membrane with a screwdriver or other sharp tool. • After selecting the installation location, attach the installation ring (C) at the designated location, e.g. with double-sided tape, and mark the necessary drill holes and the space for the woofer (inner circle of the installation ring). -
Page 12: Installing And Attaching The Midrange
Installing and Attaching the Midrange CS 365 In selecting the installation location, the position of the midrange in relation to the tweeter should be considered. The loudspeakers should be placed as closely as possible to one another to achieve a complete sound effect. Note: Do not attach via or puncture the membrane. -
Page 13: Installing And Attaching The Tweeter
Installing and Attaching the Tweeter CS 230 / CS 265 / CS 365 Installation Location: Door Installation (front/rear), rear installation, side view mirror area installation, instrument panel installation, and rear windshield deck installation • Fix the installation template of the tweeters at the selected location with tape and, along the indicated line, carefully cut and smooth edges. -
