(Mounting, continued)
After checking for clearance, cut a 2–1/8" hole in the door panel. Mount the recess cup
from the outside with the mounting clip on the inside of the door panel. The 8-32x1/2"
flathead screw joins the two pieces together.
If the surface mounting arrangement for the tweeter works out best, then the
following diagram shows how it works. A #8 flathead sheet metal screw is supplied to
attach the surface mount cup to the door panel.
With either of these tweeter mounting schemes, the wiring and insertion of the tweeter
are the same. The short wires attached to the tweeter are fed through the larger hole in
the mount; then the tweeter is snapped into the mount.
If any of the drivers are mounted in the door, it is necessary to run the supplied wire
through the door jamb. This wire should be kept away from sharp edges and the possibility
of getting pinched. An existing boot in the door jamb is the ideal place to run the wires,
but sometimes this does not exist or is inaccessible. Drilling holes to run wires through is
very tricky, and caution must be exercised not to drill into other wiring or mechanisms. Any
time a wire is run through a bare hole, it is necessary to insert a rubber grommet first.
The supplied crossovers should not be mounted in the doors or any other location that
is subject to moisture. Inside the kickpanels or under the dash are ideal locations for the
crossovers in most vehicles.
