CONFIGURATION
Before mounting and wiring the QS component system, determine which confi guration you will use for the
speakers and crossover.
QS Speaker
Confi gurations
ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS
Coaxial great for space-limited applications
or when separate tweeter mounting
is not possible
high frequencies may not be as
prominent | tweeter output may
need to be increased at crossover
Separates optimal sound quality and improved
sonic imaging (with proper tweeter
mounting)
trickier install | vehicle must have a
good tweeter mounting location
QS Crossover
Confi gurations
ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS
Conventional 2-way easy install | ideal when available
amplifi er channels are limited
audio fi delity not quite as high as
bi-amplifi ed confi guration
Bi-amplifi ed optimal sound quality; more effi cient
usage of amplifer power
requires at least 4 amplifi er
channels | slightly trickier install
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
The QS component system comes packaged in a separates confi guration.
To use a coaxial confi guration, see Fig. 1 and follow these steps:
Unscrew and remove the aluminum phase plug from the center of the woofer.1.
Screw the coaxial mounting adapter into the woofer in place of the phase plug.2.
Screw the tweeter into the tweeter post.3.
Thread the tweeter’s lead wires through the center of the woofer.4.
Snap the tweeter post onto the coaxial mounting adapter.5.
Rotate the tweeter clockwise for the most appealing position.6.
Secure the tweeter’s lead wires using the clip on the underside of the woofer.7.
