TWEETER PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
A component system gives you the ability
to place the 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 hook and loop fastener or
similar material, attach the tweeters in different
locations until you find the one where they
perform best.
TWEETER PROTECTION
The C1 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 INSTALLATION
The crossover networks supplied with
your C1 System should be installed in a
dry location inside your vehicle. DO NOT
INSTALL THEM INSIDE OF A DOOR!
Doors often get wet on the inside, which
can damage your crossover networks and
could potentially damage your entire sound
system. Use plastic cable ties or a similar
fastener to securely mount each crossover to
avoid coming loose in the event of a collision,
sudden jolt or repeated vibrations during
normal use. Make sure that your mounting
location will not cause damage to wiring or
any other vital component of your vehicle.
