Operating Instructions

Once installed, your Infinity PR6512IS speakers are ready for use. The operation of the speakers is controlled by your car's audio head unit or amplifier.

  • Power On/Off: The speakers will power on and off with your vehicle's audio system.
  • Volume Control: Adjust the volume using your head unit's controls. Avoid excessively high volumes that cause distortion, as this can damage the speakers.
  • Audio Settings: Utilize your head unit's equalizer (EQ) and balance/fader controls to fine-tune the sound to your preference. Experiment with different settings to find the optimal audio balance for your vehicle's interior.
  • Source Selection: Select your desired audio source (radio, CD, Bluetooth, USB, etc.) through your head unit.

These speakers are designed for high-fidelity sound reproduction. For the best experience, ensure your audio source is of good quality.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help ensure the longevity and continued performance of your Infinity PR6512IS speakers.

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the speaker grilles and surrounds with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the speaker materials.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the speaker cones and surrounds for any signs of damage, such as tears, cracks, or punctures. Also, check wiring connections for looseness or corrosion.
  • Environmental Protection: While designed for automotive environments, extreme temperatures and direct prolonged sunlight can affect speaker performance over time. If possible, park your vehicle in shaded areas during hot weather.
  • Avoid Overpowering: Do not continuously play audio at levels that cause audible distortion. This indicates that the speakers are being overdriven, which can lead to permanent damage.
