The crossover network is essential for directing the correct frequency ranges to each speaker component. Connect the amplifier output to the input terminals of the crossover. Then, connect the midwoofer to the designated midwoofer output on the crossover, and the tweeter to the tweeter output. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) for all connections to prevent phase issues and ensure proper sound reproduction.
4.2 Tweeter Mounting Options

The tweeters can be installed using either a flush mount or a surface mount method, depending on your vehicle's interior and aesthetic preference. Mounting hardware for both options is included. For flush mounting, a hole will need to be cut into the mounting surface. For surface mounting, the tweeter housing is secured directly to the surface.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the speaker grilles and cones. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Environmental Factors: While designed for vehicle use, avoid exposing speakers to extreme moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can degrade materials over time.
8. Troubleshooting
- No Sound:
- Check all wiring connections from the amplifier to the crossover and to each speaker for secure contact and correct polarity.
- Verify that the amplifier or head unit is powered on and functioning correctly.
- Ensure the audio source is playing and not muted.
- Distorted Sound:
- Reduce the volume level on your head unit or amplifier. Overdriving the speakers can cause distortion.
- Check for loose wiring connections or damaged speaker cones/surrounds.
- Ensure the crossover network is correctly installed and functioning.
- Adjust equalizer settings on your head unit or amplifier to prevent excessive bass or treble that could cause distortion.
- One Speaker Not Working:
- Inspect the wiring for that specific speaker and its connection to the crossover.
- Swap the non-working speaker with a known working one (if possible and safe) to determine if the issue is with the speaker or the wiring/source.
