Speaker Series
General Instructions
The installation of the product must be done by professional technicians. Always contact an ESB Authorized Dealer.
Thank you for purchasing your new ESB speakers.
If properly installed, they will give you years of great audio experience. Although we have attempted to make sure all the information contained here are accurate, please be aware that the following instructions should be used as a general guideline only.
If you are unsure about performing any of the procedures listed below, please contact a professional car audio installation center.
Before and during installation, please follow these guidelines:
- For safety, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
- Use the highest quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.
- Use caution before you drill or cut. Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle. Before drill or cut check the under side of working area.
- Never run speaker wires underneath your vehicle. Running speaker wires inside the vehicle provides the best protection from exhaust heat and environmental elements.
- Avoid running wires over, near, or through sharp edged surfaces. Use rubber grommets to protect any wires routed through metal.
- When running the speaker cable from the amplifier, avoid running it near sources of high current (i.e. wiring harnesses, battery cables).
- Pay attention to the positive and negative speaker polarity. In some vehicles, it may be possible to utilize the existing speaker wiring. When doing this, be careful of the polarity (+/-) of the speaker wires, as these wire colors vary for each vehicle. In some vehicles, it may be necessary to run new speaker wire throughout the vehicle.
- Never let the cables touch any metal part of the car as well as take care that the speaker terminals are properly away from metal parts.
- Make sure the speaker rests on an even, flat surface, use the foam gasket provided. Air leaks will cause a severe degradation in sound quality. Seal any air leaks with an automotive-grade sealant material.
- Tighten the screws diagonally and do not tighten beyond a force of about 6-8 Nm. Use a hand screwdriver or, if electric, set the clutch to low. The speaker should be tightened well, but not forced. Forcing could cause cracking and/or deformation of the basket.
Continuous exposure to excessive sound pressure levels may cause hearing damage. ESB strongly advises that you use common sense when setting volume levels. Everything written in this manual is for the proper use of the products. Some features or specifications could be modified during production to improve the product performance. The technical specifications and functionalities stated here are current as of the time of publication.

5.6K2 CX
The 5.6K2 CX is used in 2-way speaker systems to electrically channel low tones to the bass loudspeaker (5.165), and high notes to the high frequency speakers (5.028). A switch located on the output side allows the user to adjust the tweeter level on two options according to the distance of the tweeter from the listener.
5.6K3 CX
The 5.6K3 CX is used in 3-way speaker systems to electrically channel low tones to the bass loudspeaker (5.165), mid tones to the mid frequency speaker (5.050) and high notes to the high frequency speakers (5.028). Midrange and Tweeter outputs can also be used with 5.UMA mid-high unit. A switch located on the output side allows the user to adjust the midrange and tweeter levels on two options according to the distance of the speaker from the listener.
