INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
a Make sure you have enough high quality speaker wire at hand, to reach all
the drivers and crossovers from their intended mounting locations! The
preferable cross-section is 2x2.5mm
2
. Please consider that for quality
reasons, only the tweeter extension lead is provided with the set contents. All
other speaker wires - for example those to connect the mid/woofers and the
amplifier to the crossover(s) - must be purchased separately from your Radical
Audio dealer.
s Before you attempt to mount the tweeter(s) or mid/woofer(s) in the doors of a
vehicle, check the available mounting depth! Always make sure the speakers
or crossovers do not interfere with either the door or window operation.
d Before you start any wiring work, speaker mounting etc, disconnect the
negative power cable lead from the battery! For your safety…
f Never run speaker wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber grommets
to protect wires routed through metal.
MOUNTING LOCATION
A solid front stage with good imaging is one of the most difficult things to achieve
in a vehicle! Mostly because the speakers are placed where they will fit easily, as
opposed where they can perform the best. In most cases, the factory cutouts -
i.e. in the front doors of a vehicle - offer a stable and convenient mounting plat-
form for the mid/woofers. In some cases you will need to purchase car specific
plastic adaptors for proper mounting of Euro-DIN style mid/woofers to the factory
speaker cutouts in the front doors.
Concerning the tweeters, the chosen mounting location exhibits a profound and
direct effect on the sound staging of your component system. Therefore, after
mounting the mid/woofers and crossovers - try listening to the tweeters - provi-
sionally fixed in several positions, to get best imaging results BEFORE YOU CUT
YOUR PANELS!
Some mounting guidelines:
a Place the tweeters where they have a direct - unobstructed - path to the
listening area. The best visual location may not be the best sounding one!
s Listen to the system with both tweeters connected to the crossovers in phase
(࿜ to ࿜, ࿛ to ࿛) AND reversed, before making a final decision!
d Be sure to use the supplied foam gaskets when mounting the mid/woofers.
These gaskets enable an airtight seal between the mid/woofer mounting rim
and the speaker mounting hole, important to obtain the maximum dynamic
range in the lower transmission band!
f The installation of your component set is carried out best, following this
logical sequence: Removal of Factory Speakers z Wire Routing z Installation
of the Mid/Woofers z Mounting the Crossovers z Mounting the Tweeters
