BASIC INSTALLATION Selecting the placement of your new Ti Component
speakers could be as easy as using the existing factory locations or may
require you to create a new location. Speaker placement in the door, dash,
or rear deck is the most common. See your local Phoenix Gold Dealer for
additional location and mounting assistance.
DOORS /REAR DECK
1. Many vehicles already have factory locations (Figure 1) to house the “DROP
IN” feature of the Ti Component speakers. If no existing locations are
available or are not used, check the desired location for adequate cutout
area and any depth obstructions. Make sure to allow sufcient clearance for
window tracks, structural braces, trunk lid springs, etc.
2. Assuming enough area and depth is available, use the provided template
and trace the speaker cutout and mounting holes onto the surface of the
mounting location.
3. If the mounting surface is not structurally strong enough to accommodate
screws, (i.e. plastic, cardboard) use the pro vided speed clips which will act
as a nut for the supplied screws.
4. Always provide water protection, if not supplied in the vehicle. We suggest
using a rain shield or equivalent. If in doubt, please contact your
Phoenix Gold Dealer.
SPEAKER INSTALLATION WITHOUT GRILL
Phoenix Gold has provided a foam mounting gasket. When installing your
new component speakers in a factory location make sure to use the foam
mounting gasket as shown in gure 1. For reverse mounted speakers place the
foam gasket in front of the speaker. This will ensure an air tight seal for your Ti
speakers.
For more custom applications, or cases where the factory grill will not be used,
a high excursion protective grill has been provided. When installing your new
component speakers with the provided Ti grill use gure 2. Make sure to use
the rubber gasket to get an air tight seal.
TWEETER ADJUSTMENT
The tweeters pivot in their housings. When mounted low in the door, angle the
tweeter up for better high frequency performance. In rear deck or dashboard
installations, angle the tweeter away from the rear glass to reduce destructive
reections.
CROSSOVER ADJUSTMENT
The crossover provided with the Ti component set is optimized to give the most
accurate in-car response. Use only the cross-over provided; the use of any other
crossover may result in damage to one or more of the Ti series components.
Connect the left amplier output to the crossover for the left component set, and
the right amplier output to the crossover for the right component set. From there
connect your component woofer and tweeters to the corresponding crossover
observing polarity (+ to +, - to -). (gure 3)
CROSSOVER INSTALLATION
We suggest you select a mounting location for the crossovers within the cab
of the vehicle, such as the kick panels or near the amplier. If crossovers must
be mounted in the door, mount them between the moisture barrier and the
innermost door panel. MOISTURE DAMAGE WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
