Setup
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. It is recommended to have these speakers installed by a professional car audio technician. If you choose to install them yourself, ensure you have the necessary tools and knowledge of car audio wiring.
Installation Steps:
- Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle's battery to prevent electrical shorts.
- Access Speaker Location: Carefully remove door panels, dashboard grilles, or other components to access the speaker mounting locations.
- Remove Old Speakers: Disconnect wiring and unmount existing speakers.
- Mount New Speakers: Secure the Skar Audio TX4 speakers in the designated locations using appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure a snug fit to prevent vibrations.
- Wiring: Connect the speaker wires to your amplifier or head unit. Pay close attention to polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) to avoid phase issues. The TX4 speakers have an impedance of 4 Ohms.
- Reassemble: Carefully reattach all removed panels and components.
- Test: Reconnect the vehicle's battery and test the speakers with various audio sources and volume levels.

Operating
Once installed, your Skar Audio TX4 speakers are ready for use. For optimal sound quality, ensure your audio source (head unit, amplifier) is properly configured.
Tips for Optimal Performance:
- Amplification: These speakers perform best when powered by an external amplifier that matches their RMS power rating (60W RMS per pair).
- Crossover Settings: Utilize your amplifier's or head unit's crossover settings to filter out frequencies below 45 Hz to prevent damage and improve sound clarity.
- Equalization: Adjust your equalizer settings to fine-tune the sound to your personal preference. Avoid excessive boosting of bass or treble, which can lead to distortion.
- Volume Control: Avoid playing music at excessively high volumes for extended periods, as this can damage the speakers and your hearing.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the performance and appearance of your speakers.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the speaker grilles and surrounds. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Environmental Factors: Protect speakers from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture. While durable, these speakers are not water resistant.
- Connection Checks: Periodically inspect wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your speakers, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
Common Issues:
- No Sound:
- Check all wiring connections from the speakers to the amplifier/head unit.
- Ensure the amplifier/head unit is powered on and functioning correctly.
- Verify the audio source is playing and not muted.
- Distorted Sound:
- Reduce the volume level on your head unit or amplifier.
- Check amplifier gain settings; they may be set too high.
- Inspect speaker wires for damage or loose connections.
- Ensure proper crossover settings are applied to prevent low frequencies from reaching the speakers.
- Low Volume:
- Increase the volume on your head unit or amplifier.
- Check amplifier output and ensure it matches the speaker's power handling.
- Verify speaker impedance (4 Ohms) is compatible with your amplifier.
