CROSSOVER NETWORK
INSTALLATION:
The crossover networks supplied with your
VR525-CSi System should be installed in a dry
location of your vehicle. DO NOT INSTALL
THEM INSIDE OF A DOOR! Doors often get
wet on the inside, which can damage your crossover
networks and could potentially damage your entire
sound system.
The crossovers can be screwed into a solid
surface via two holes located under the protective
cover of the case. To access these holes, simply
squeeze the sides of the cover while gently pulling
the cover away from the base. Make sure that your
mounting location will not cause damage to wiring,
fuel lines, brake lines or any other vital component
of your vehicle. Once you have screwed the case in,
snap the protective cover back into place.
If screwing the crossovers networks in is not
possible, you can also run the supplied nylon wire
ties through the mounting holes to attach the
crossovers to a structure in your car. To do so, take
the covers off, attach the wire ties, and then snap
the covers back into place, lining the wire ties up
with the slots on the sides of the protective cover.
Make sure that you do not attach the crossovers to
a moving part or to any part that may interfere with
pedal operation, gear shift operation, steering, or
airbag deployment.
For wiring instructions, refer to the diagram on
pages 2 & 3 of this manual.

TWEETER INSTALLATION:

The dome tweeters supplied with your
VR525-CSi system have been designed for
maximum mounting versatility. There are two
primary methods by which the tweeters can be
mounted in your vehicle:
1) Flush Mounted, using the supplied flush-mount
cup and hardware.This application will yield a
custom-installed appearance, but will require at least
3/4-inch (19 mm) of clearance behind the mounting
surface of the tweeter.
2) Surface Mounted, using the supplied surface
mount kit and hardware. In this application, you will
not need to cut holes in your vehicle's panels for
the tweeters.You will only need to drill a hole for
the wires and for the two mounting screws.This
application is useful when mounting the tweeters to
a panel that has insufficient clearance behind it for
the tweeter's magnet structure.
Run speaker wires from the tweeter output of
the crossover to the desired tweeter mounting
locations, observing the same precautions as
mentioned in the woofer installation section.
Terminate the wires with the supplied 2.8 mm male
crimpable connectors.

FLUSH MOUNT INSTALLATION:

Swivel/Rotation Mechanism:
Once the tweeter has been mounted into the
flush mount cup as shown above, it can be swiveled
and rotated by hand to best enhance imaging using
the swivel/rotation mechanism built into the flush
mount system. Experiment with different angles
until you arrive at the best solution. The
swivel/rotation feature will not operate with the
surface mount system.
