INSTALLING YOUR XR570-CXi
COAXIALS IN CUSTOM LOCATIONS:
Run the supplied speaker wires to the desired
mounting location. If you are running wires into a
door, use existing factory wiring boots whenever
possible. If you are drilling new holes, file their
edges and install rubber grommets into each hole.
Then, cover the wires with a protective PVC sleeve
and run them through the door jamb. Make sure
that the wires will clear door hinges and other
structures in the door. If you are unsure about any
part of this process, please contact your JL AUDIO
dealer for installation help.
Double check the clearance for both speakers
before proceeding.
Use the oval template supplied in the product
packaging to mark the desired mounting location.
Do not use the round templates at the bottom of
the packaging, use the oval template in the
cardboard insert. Mark the center and the outline of
the mounting hole as well as the mounting screw
positions. Before drilling or cutting, use a utility knife
to cut any fabric, vinyl or leather from hole
locations. These materials can easily be snagged by
a drill or a saw, causing damage to the panel and
possible bodily injury.
Drill four 1/8” (3 mm) holes for the speaker’s
mounting screws at the positions you have marked.
Also drill a pilot hole in the center of the speaker
mounting hole at this time. Then, using a saber saw
or nibbler, make the oval cut out for the speaker.
File any rough edges.
Insert the mounting clips with the flat side
towards the speaker as shown in the diagram.
Connect the speaker wires to both sets of
terminals on each speaker, observing correct
polarity and making sure that the tweeter and
woofer wires correspond to the correct terminals
on both the speaker and crossover.
Install the speaker as shown in the
diagram below.
It is absolutely vital that the speaker frame fits
into the mounting hole cleanly. This must be
checked prior to tightening the screws. Do not
force the frame into a hole that is too small! Do
not tighten the speaker onto an uneven surface! This
will damage your speakers. The speaker should also
fit so that no air leaks around the mounting flange.
Air leaks will cause a severe degradation in sound
quality. Seal any air leaks with silicone, rope caulk or
similar sealant material.
Hand-tighten the screws evenly to avoid
bending the speaker frame!
Because 5 x 7-inch speakers are rarely used for
custom mounting, grilles are not supplied with the
XR570-CXi speakers. Should you need them, you
will need to purchase aftermarket grilles separately.
