dls iridium 6.3 Benutzerhandbuch

Thank you for buying a DLS ULTIMATE Iridium speaker.
This manual will show you how to do a correct installa-
tion. Please read the entire manual before beginning the
installation. Install the speakers yourself  if you feel
confident  with our instructions and if you have the proper
tools. The ULTIMATE Iridium speakers are our best spea-
ker line but a poor installation job can destroy the final
result even from these speakers. So if you feel unsure,
turn over the installation job to someone better suited to
it.

Mount the bass speakers in the door sides of your car.
Normally they will fit in the facory pre-made mounting
holes. If you want an improved sound reinforce with a
baffle of MDF-board or similar. An installation high up on
the door side is to be prefered. An alternative installation
is in so called kick panels down on each side of the floor
with the speakers facing up- and inwards towards the
listener. You can also build a separate sealed box in the
door side.
The tweeter can be installed on the dash-board, or
recessed in the door using the accessories coming with
the tweeter.
The 3” midrange driver in the 3-way systems can be
installed in the same mounting hole as a normal 4” spea-
ker.
It is important to fasten the speakers properly in order to
avoid bad sound or rattling.

It´s vital that the filter  boxes are attached properly to the
interior of the vehicle to avoid rattling. Don´t place them
close to the  internal wiring of the car, this can cause
interference.
Avoid to install filter boxes in the door sides because
they can easily be broken because of rattling or
moisture.

Use high quality speaker cables. Avoid using the factory
pre-installed cabling, they will not give the sound
reproduction that you should expect from the Iridium
speakers. The DLS SCP cable is a perfect allround
cable for all kind of speakers.
Make sure the cables don´t get jammed causing a short
circuit to ground. This can damage the output circuits of
your head unit or amplifier.

The sealing strip coming with the bass drivers should be
used for improved sealing between the bass element
and the mounting surface.
The tweeter installation  is described on page 3, or in the
instruction sheet coming with the tweeter.

These 2-way systems have a separate UR1 tweeter. The
filters are combined lowpass and highpass in a plastic
box with selectable tweeter level inside.
On the following pages you can see how to connect the
filters.

These 3-way systems have separate UR1 tweeter and
Iridium 3, 3” midrange. The filter components are mounted
in two plastic boxes with selectable tweeter and midrange
level inside. There is one box for the midrange driver and
another box for bass and tweeter.
On the following pages you can see how to connect the
filters.

If you want to install the speaker in an enclosure the
recommended sizes are:

Iridium 6,5” bass driver in a kick panel:
min 4 liters (0,14 cuft) and max 6 liters (0,21 cuft).

Iridium 6,5” bass driver in door side: 6 liters (0,21 cuft)
sealed box.

Iridium 8”: Use open air mount ing door side only. Boxes
will be to big fordoor sides or kick panels.
