Tweeter

The TN 53k tweeter has been designed
for flush mount or surface mount
positioning, using the two fixing kits
provided. The choice of install position
is extremely important to deliver
the best performance and maintain
integration into the system. This is a
major factor for high frequency SPL,
and the the stability of the acoustics,
stereophonic imaging, and overall
staging. Please check the drawing to
understand this further.
The standard recommendation for
ideal stereo imaging, is to ensure the
tweeters "left" and "right", are installed
in the same positions. Also they are
approximately at equal distance to the
driver (vice-versa for the passenger).
The various positions advised should
be verified and comparatives made,
for ideal positioning.
The
tweeter
should
positioned ahead of the normal
listening position. The main prefe-
rences are the outer positions of the
dash board (pic. C, 1), close to the
windshield (pic. C, 2). Normally easy
for installation. The location close to
the door mirror (pic. C, 3) is also
regarded as a good position, and
normally only requires a small amount
of install work.

Woofer-midrange

K2 Power woofer-midranges, posi-
tioned ideally high in the doors
(pic. D, 1), produce optimal midrange
frequencies, thus integrating better
into the rest of the system. If the
woofer-mids are positioned low in the
doors (pic. D, 2), the loss of midrange
can be compensated by adjusting the
crossover (see section "adjustment"
page 7-8).
The woofer-mids from the K2 Power
range can also be placed low in
the "kick-panels" (pic. D, 3) of the
vehicle. This is to further optimise the
stereophonic imaging.

Tweeter surface mounting
Two accessories are suggested for the
surface mounting of the tweeter.
The sole support, with a 30° angle (pic.
E) and the tweeter/woofer support that
has to be adapted to the windshield
upright through transformation (pic.
F). You can divide the box in 2 by
unsticking it or cutting it following the
central axis, this box is also reversible,
you just have to reverse the two flat
parts.
Fitted mounting
Cut out a 50mm diameter opening.
Make the tweeter wires go through.
Adjust the tweeter by pressing on the
side lobes (pic. G).
Attention: It is not necessary to twist
lock the TN53K in place using a
locking tool.To do so, carefully push
and turn on the outer radius wave
guides, turning the tweeter until it is
locked in place.
