Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of µDimension
ELEMENT series Automotive Loudspeakers! They have
been built to meet the same rigorous standards of
construction and performance that have long established
our renowned home and professional speaker systems.
This manual has been designed to make ELEMENT
Automotive Loudspeaker installation and ownership as
trouble -free as possible. Please read through this manual
completely before attempting any installation steps and
familiarize yourself with your new speaker system.
You will need your purchase receipt as proof of purchase
for any and all warranty repairs and for insurance
purposes. Keep your receipt, owner's manual, and
packing materials in a safe location for possible future
use.
Pre-Installation Instructions
It is recommended that you have your new ELEMENT
series Autom otive Loudspeakers professionally install
by your authorized ELEMENT dealer. This will ensure the
use of proper installation techniques and materials, and
will save much time and effort. If you choose to perform
you own installation, the following instructions will give
you ELEMENT series direction toward making your
purchase complete. Read the following information and
precautions carefully. Failure to follow the stated
precautions may result in personal injury and/or
damage the audio system or vehicle.
A. Always make sure the speaker will easily t into the
intended mounting location and that there is adequate
cavity depth to accept the magnet structure.
B. Check for adequate clearance between speaker and
window, window crank, power window mechanism,
seat, glove box, rear deck torsion bars, and other items
which may interfere with the speaker's mounting. This is
especially important if any hole cutting is required.
complete speaker, mounting size and depth requirements
can be found at the end of this manual. A good way to
conrm speaker place meet on a door or body panel is
to place the speaker's die cast mounting ring onto the
surface. Check for a at mounting surface, free from all
obstruction.

C. The method of installation chosen and level of
execution will effect the overall performance of the
speaker system. Treat each installation step with a high
degree of attention.
D. Do not mount the speaker where water may splash
the woofer cone. A plastic cup or some heavy gauge
plastic sheeting may be needed in some locations that
are exposed to moisture from behind the body panel.
E. Care must be taken to prevent low frequency cancel-
lation caused by air leakage between the front and rear
of the speaker (such as when mounted on a curved or
uneven surface, or when mounted in an oversized hole).
F. Mounting panel reinforcement may be necessary in
some cases in order to prevent surface ex. This can be
achieved by mounting the speaker on a metal or
wooden sub-bafe behind the body or door panel.
Consult an installation specialist for further direction.
G. Unless you are replacing existing speakers of same
size, mounting locations will have to be cut into the
doors, body panels, or rear deck. In some cases speaker
mounting holes will be precut in the doors, body panels,
or rear deck steel. Due to their structural integrity and
accessibility. These precut mounting holes should be
used whenever possible.
ed
IMPORTANT: Never cut any metal that is an integral
part of an automobile's safety or structural support
system.
ELEMENT Speaker Installation
NOTE. µDimension s trongly recommends that you operate
the complete audio system at low volume before nal
installation of your ELEMENT Automotive Loudspeakers.
This will allow a trial listening test before securing the
loudspeakers into their mounting locations.
CAUTION: Make sure that all speaker wiring is fully
protected from cutting or wear. Any short circuits
developing as a result could severely damage the
rado unit or amplier. Make sure that all speaker
wires easily reach the speaker terminals with stress
on the wire or connectors.
