We advise you to keep this manual in a safe and dry place. Write down any important
information to reference from in the future, such as you enclosure information and
port dimensions. Draw a simple diagram or parameters of the enclosure incase you
ever need to reference from it in the future.

Due to the nature of this speaker, it works best when installed in smaller sealed enclo-
sures. The use of a ported enclosure will resulting in unsatisfactory performance and
low speaker life. This speaker is intended to form a multi-way system utilizing custom
built passive crossover networks tuned between 60 - 1250Hz at an 18dB or greater
slope. Please consult the assistance of a qualified technician for more information
before proceeding with your installation. The use of an active (electronic) crossover is
also a good idea, but both should be considered to provide the best performance
and frequency response.

Because both of these mid-bass driver are only available in a single 8 ohm voice
coil configuration, there are no wiring diagrams to explain for other possible imped-
ance levels. However, you can obtain different impedance levels with multiple
speakers connected to one circuit, but because of the intended application of the
speaker the information is not disclosed. If you will be designing a system which
requires more than one driver in one a circuit and need assistance calculating the
impedance, please E-mail tech-support@soundstream.com for more information
or call our offices at 323.724.4600.
