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.

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 sufficient 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.

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 figure 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 figure 2. Make sure to use 
the rubber gasket to get an air tight seal.

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 
reflections.

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 amplifier output to the crossover for the left component set, and 
the right amplifier 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 -). (figure 3)

We suggest you select a mounting location for the crossovers within the cab 
of the vehicle, such as the kick panels or near the amplifier. 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.
