“Basic tools ”
• #0/1, #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Electric drill and 1/8” (3mm) bit
• 2” (50mm) hole saw
• Wire strippers/cutters
• Metal cutting tool
• Metal file
• Safety glasses
“Installation ”
Install the HEX midrange/ midbass/woofer drivers. (refer to “Mounting ”)
Install the crossovers. Make sure you have enough wire to reach all the drivers
from the intended mounting location(s).
Install the HEX tweeters. Try listening to the tweeters in several positions to get
the best imaging results BEFORE YOU CUT YOUR PANELS! Remember: the best
visual location may not be the best sounding one. Listen to the system with the
tweeter connected in-phase (+ to +) and reversed (+ to –) before making a final
selection.
