Setup and Installation

Package Contents:

• Soundstream TWS.7 Tweeter Set (2 tweeters)
• Passive Crossovers (2 units)
• Mounting Hardware (for flush, surface, or angle mounting)

Mounting Options:

The TWS.7 tweeters offer versatile mounting options to suit various installation needs:

• Flush Mount: For a clean, integrated look, the tweeters can be flush-mounted into a panel or surface. This requires cutting a precise hole.
• Surface Mount: For installations where cutting is not desired or feasible, the tweeters can be surface-mounted using the provided hardware.
• Angle Mount: Adjustable angle mounts allow for directing the sound towards the listening area, optimizing sound staging.

Refer to the specific mounting hardware instructions for detailed steps on each mounting type.

Wiring Diagram:

The TWS.7 tweeters require connection through the included 12dB/octave passive crossovers. The crossovers are designed to filter out lower frequencies, protecting the tweeter and ensuring clear high-frequency reproduction.

1. Identify the input and output terminals on the passive crossover. Typically, the input will connect to your amplifier or head unit's speaker output, and the output will connect to the tweeter.
2. Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) wires from your audio source to the corresponding input terminals on the passive crossover.
3. Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) wires from the passive crossover's tweeter output to the corresponding terminals on the TWS.7 tweeter.
4. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated using crimp connectors or soldering and heat shrink tubing.

Note: Incorrect wiring can damage the tweeters or your audio system. If unsure, consult a professional installer.

Operation

Once properly installed and wired, the Soundstream TWS.7 tweeters operate as part of your car's audio system. They are designed to reproduce high-frequency sounds (treble) to enhance the clarity and detail of your music.

Audio System Integration:

• The tweeters are passive components and do not require a separate power source beyond the audio signal from your amplifier or head unit.
• Adjust the treble settings on your head unit or amplifier to achieve the desired sound balance. Start with flat settings and make small adjustments.
• Avoid excessive volume levels that cause distortion, as this can damage the tweeters.

Maintenance

The Soundstream TWS.7 tweeters require minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the tweeter grilles and housing. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
• Inspection: Periodically check the wiring connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion.
• Environment: While designed for automotive use, avoid exposing the tweeters to extreme temperatures or direct moisture.

Troubleshooting

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact Soundstream customer support or a qualified car audio technician.
