Installation: Getting Started GETTING STARTED Turn off the audio system. It is also advisable to disconnect the negative ( ) terminal of your vehicle s battery whenever performing installation work. Before cutting, drilling or inserting any screw, check clearances on both sides of the planned mounting surface. Also check for any potential obstacles, such as window tracks and motors, wiring harnesses, etc. Check both sides of the vehicle, many vehicles are not symmetrical. CROSSOVER NETWORK INSTALLATION The crossover networks supplied with your RS-C652N system are water resistant and can be installed inside doors, and other areas that may be susceptible to the elements. Before completing the install, please take all precautions to make sure that your connections are also water resistant and you have used a silicone based caulk or sealant to make sure your crossover is as resistant to the elements as possible. The crossovers can be screwed into a solid surface via the included mounting points. Make sure that your mounting location will not cause damage to wiring, fuel lines, brake lines or any other vital component of your vehicle. TWEETER PROTECTION The RS-C652N crossover networks are equipped with an advanced electronic tweeter protection circuit designed to minimize the possibility of tweeter failure. This electronic device monitors current going to the tweeter and will disconnect the tweeter from the signal when it senses overload. Should this occur while listening to the audio system, simply reduce the volume for a few seconds and the protection circuit will reset itself automatically. CROSSOVER NETWORK ADJUSTMENT The crossover networks have been designed to allow tonal adjustments for tweeter levels in 0, - 3db, and -6dB increments. These adjustments made via the wiring connections, make it possible to fine-tune your system to suit your listening preferences and to compensate for various speaker mounting applications. 3.

Installation: Speaker Placement SPEAKER PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS A component system gives you the ability to place the mid woofer and tweeter separately in your vehicle interior. This can be good or bad, depending on how it s done. As a general rule, the tweeters should be placed relatively close to the woofers for best tonal balance and most coherent imaging (the closer, the better). Any separation greater than 8 inches (20 cm)is likely to result in degraded sound quality. Avoid placing tweeters where they will be blocked by objects in the interior of the car (including seated occupants). When selecting a mounting location, look at both sides of the car to make sure that this location is clear on both sides. You can always experiment with tweeter placement before committing to a final mounting location. Simply connect the rest of the system and allow plenty of wire length for the tweeters. Using Velcro or similar material, attach the tweeters in different locations until you find the one where they perform best. Woofers will usually be placed into factory speaker locations. If you have some woofer mounting flexibility, keep the following in mind: Lower mounting locations, such as the lower front corner of a door or a kick-panel provide the greatest path length distances for the sound emitted by the woofer. For this reason, they are generally more desirable than higher mounting locations. Higher mounting locations often result in extreme soundstage bias which compromises the stereo listening experience. 5. Example of optimum speaker placement
