INSTALLING THE TWEETER
SURFACE MOUNTING
Step 1: Determine the tweeter mounting location, then route the wires from the crossover to
the tweeter location.
Step 2: Place the provided template or tweeter cup against the panel and mark the two holes
at the rear of the housing.
Step 3: Drill the smaller holes using a 1/8" drill bit. These are the mounting screw holes.
WARNING: Check for clearance of window mechanisms and electrical wires BEFORE you drill.
Step 4: Drill the larger off-center hole using a 3/8" drill bit, insert a grommet and route the
speaker wire from the crossover through the grommet.
Step 5: After removing the surface mount tweeter assembly trim ring, route the tweeter wires
through the larger hole in the housing and connect to the speaker wires from the
crossover. (See Figure 4.)
Step 6: Insert the excess speaker wire into the hole and position the housing so the housing
will not pinch the wires after final mounting.
Step 7: Attach the housing using the supplied screws of the correct length for a solid mount.
Step 8: Insert the tweeter into the housing and attach the surface mount trim ring.

FULL FLUSH MOUNTING
Step 1:. Determine where the tweeter will be mounted. Make sure there is a flat area large
enough for the tweeter and no obstructions behind the area.
Step 2: Using the back half of the tweeter housing, mark with a pen the hole needed for the
tweeter.
Step 3: Be sure the hole is large enough for the tweeter housing, but not so large that the
flange will not cover the hole..
Step 4: Cut the hole for the tweeter. When using factory locations, this step can be skipped.
A hole can be cut either with a pair of metal tin snips or a 2" hole saw for hard
materials.
WARNING: Check for clearance of window mechanisms and electrical wires BEFORE you drill.
