INSTALLATION PROCEDURES By mounting the tweeter separately from the woofer (or mid-range driver) the installer can choose the best location for sound quality and imaging. Optimum results are usually obtained by locating the tweeters and midrange speakers relatively close to each other, and by keeping the sound path lengths between the lis- tener and the left and right speakers as equal as possible.
Page 11
EXAMPLE OF MOUNTING If the tweeter has to be removed from the mounting cup, insert a small screwdriver in the back of the tweeter and carefully push the tweeter from the mounting cup.

CROSSOVER NETWORK INSTALLATION AND WIRING Your PowerBass Xtreme Component system contains two separate 3-way crossover networks. When choosing a location to mount the crossovers, keep in mind they contain electronic parts which can be damaged by moisture and dirt. Mount each crossover in a location that has easy access for wiring plus the adjustment of the Midrange and Tweeter levels (each can be adjusted by a slide switch located under the crossover cover).
Page 13
The 3-way crossover network is constructed of the highest quality components selected and matched to tight tolerances that enable a linear frequency response and improved dispersion from each driver. There is a two-position level control for both the tweeter and midrange which allow high frequency adjustment tailored to your own personal taste.

CONVENTIONAL WIRING By selecting the OFF position on the switch labeled BI-AMP the crossover can be set up using a single amplifier input. While this set up does sacrifice some fidelity, it makes the best use of a single 2-channel amplifier.
Page 15
BI-AMP WIRING By selecting the ON position on the switch labeled BI-AMP the crossover must be set up using two amplifier inputs. Wiring of the Bi-amp configuration is a bit trickier and careful attention must be paid to avoid dam- age to the entire system.
