Connections should first be made with the rear cover removed to allow for adjustment of the
crossover settings. The tweeter level has jumper positions for +2dB, 0dB and -2dB attenuation.
When you have chosen the final settings, replace the rear cover section and tighten the two hold-
down screws.
The following diagram
shows the basic installation for the HEX 2-way systems. This basic
layout is the starter for many show winning audio systems. The computer-optimized crossovers
implement a Second-Order Linkwitz-Riley aligned filter, Zobel correction and Peak indication.
To begin, (1) connect the amplifiers speaker output to the crossovers
INPUT terminals. Then, (2)
connect the terminals labeled
WOOFER to the HEX woofer/midbass driver and, (3) connect the
TWEETER terminals to the HEX tweeter. Finished! The remaining RAF outputs may be used for an
optional (available from your DAT dealer) rear-fill driver, coaxial speaker or even the factory original
rear speakers. For applications requiring timbre-matched drivers, we suggest using the S4.0m or
S5.0m units. The
RAF output features attenuation of -10dB for optimum level matching and com-
pensation for vehicle size and length.
