RSd SPEAKERS
COMPONENT SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL
RSd SPEAKER INSTALLATION
Selecting the placement of your new RSd Coaxial speakers could be as easy as using the existing factory locations or may require you to create a
new location. Speaker placement in the door, dash, or rear deck is the most common. See your local Phoenix Gold Dealer for additional location
and mounting assistance.
DOORS /REAR DECK
1. Many vehicles already have factory locations (Figure 1.) to house the “DROP IN” feature of the RSd Coaxial line. If no existing locations are
available or are not used, check the desired location for adequate cutout area and any depth obstructions. Make sure to allow sufficient
clearance for window tracks, structural braces, trunk lid springs, etc.
2. Assuming enough area and depth is available, use the provided template and trace the speaker cutout and mounting holes onto the surface of
the mounting location.
3. If the mounting surface is not structurally strong enough to accommodate screws, (i.e. plastic, cardboard) use the provided speed clips which
will act as a nut for the supplied screws.
4. Always provide water protection if not supplied in the vehicle. We suggest using a rain shield or equivalent. If in doubt, please contact your
Phoenix Gold Dealer.
TWEETER ADJUSTMENT
The 20mm tweeters can pivot in their housing. When mounted low in the door, angle the tweeter up for better off axis performance.In rear deck or
dashboard installations, angle the tweeter away from the rear glass to
reduce reflections.
