Tweeter Mounting
When mounting the tweeters, make sure
desired location can accommodate the
hole size, over all diameter and depth
required. Cut a hole in the surface
chosen and feed speaker wire through.
Remove the tweeter mounting ring by
unscrewing it counter clockwise. Connect
speaker wire to tweeter terminals and mount
tweeter in hole using provided screws. When tweeter
is secure, replace trim ring by screwing it on clockwise.

CROSSOVERS
Each HEX ™ Pro component set comes with a pair of programmable crossovers. These crossovers
use a combination of 12 and 24 dB/oct slopes to optimize the output of the tweeter and mid-bass
driver. Each crossover features complete tweeter level, phase, and bi-amp programming
capability. An LED found on top of the crossover is used as a power limit indicator. When brightly
lit, it indicates that maximum power is being delivered to that channel.
COMPONENT SYSTEM CONNECTION
The following illustration shows how to connect one channel of the HP650 component system.

Crossover Programming
Under the sliding cover on the crossover is where the programming
controls are located. The tweeter level control has four settings: +2,
0, -2, -4 dB. This is adjusted by changing the combinations of the
two toggle switches labeled "TWT LEVEL". Use the key to the right of
the switches to configure tweeter level control. Switch the "BI-AMP"
switch only when running the crossover with a bi-amped signal. The
"PHASE" switch swaps the tweeter 180 degrees out of phase for off
axis tweeter installations.
MOUNTING
Mid-Bass Mounting
The illustration above shows the parts included and correct mounting assembly of the HEX ™ Pro
component mid-bass drivers. Be sure to check the available mounting depth before installation
begins. Use of the foam gasket is recommended to ensure a proper seal between the speaker and
mounting surface.
Tweeter Mounting
When mounting the tweeters, make sure
desired location can accommodate the
hole size, over all diameter and depth
required. Cut a 2" hole in the surface
chosen and feed speaker wire through.
Remove the tweeter mounting ring by
unscrewing it counter clockwise. Connect speaker
wire to tweeter terminals and mount tweeter in hole
using provided screws. When tweeter is secure, replace
trim ring by screwing it on clockwise.

A FOREWORD ABOUT HEX PRO COMPONENTS TDX ™ TECHNOLOGY
Thermal-Dyne eXtreme ™ is a fundamentally different solution. The concept is simple,
eliminate the detrimental effects of heat in a loudspeaker system. The solution however, is quite
complex. Our engineers decided to start with a fresh sheet of paper and build a new line of
products that addressed the thermal problems and shortcomings of conventional designs while
significantly raising the existing level of performance.
To understand TDX ™ speaker technology, it must first be compared to that of a
conventional speaker design. At the heart of every speaker is a permanent magnet motor
structure that provides the magnetic energy, or force to move the voice coil back and forth within
the magnetic air gap. Conventional speakers use a large ceramic magnet surrounding the voice
coil that actually retains heat rather than dissipating it. TDX
™ motors use a small but very
efficient high temperature Neodymium magnet mounted inside the voice coil. The geometry,
venting and material selection for the motors have all been optimized for ideal thermal
dissipation. The TDX
™ thermal efficiency is nearly (5) times greater than conventional designs. In
conjunction with the motor design, TDX ™ Technology utilizes die-cast aluminum frame structures
to act as a heat sink for the encapsulated motor structure. To insure maximum heat transfer from
the encapsulated motor case to the aluminum frame, a special thermal paste fills any surface
voids that may be present in this mating surface.
The evolution of TDX ™ Technology can be seen in the new HEX ™ Pro series of products.
The new HEX ™ Pro component systems take this TDX ™ Technology and expand on it to maximize
the benefit for superior full spectrum audio performance. To faithfully reproduce an extended
frequency range, the materials and design must be optimal. This coupled with a demand for very
high power handling, is extremely challenging. These systems utilize an improved version of our
legendary HEX
™ cone, our patented dual-tuned chamber tweeter along with our extruded
aluminum, high power, programmable crossover to make the very best speaker system available in
mobile audio. Period.

Dear Valued Customer,
All of us at Diamond Audio would like to thank you for your purchase of a HEX ™ Pro speaker system.
HEX ™ Pro component systems and subwoofers are the very best speakers available for use in the
automobile environment. By choosing these products you recognize the value in using only the best.
With our proprietary HEX
™ cones and neo motors that utilize our patented TDX ™ technology, we know
you will be satisfied with these systems for years to come.
Please keep in mind that prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels in excess of 100 dB can cause
permanent hearing loss. This high performance speaker system can exceed that level, so please
exercise restraint in its operation in order to preserve your ability to enjoy its fidelity in the future.
Because of their flexible installation possibilities, please consider having your new speakers
professionally installed by an authorized Diamond Audio dealer. This will assure a clean and efficient
installation, and extend your one year warranty to three years.
At Diamond Audio Technologies, we strive to bring honest value and excellent quality to all of the
products we build. By your purchase of this product, you have joined the growing family of discerning
listeners who demand only the best. Welcome!
