1.  CAREFULLY remove the cover by grabbing both sides, applying pressure, and lifting.

2.  Mount the crossover using the two holes located under the crossover cover, being careful to not over 

tighten the screws and crack the plastic.  A wire tie may be utilized if mounting the crossover to a wire 

loom etc.

3.  Mounting crossovers in the doors are not recommended for 2 main reasons. 1- It’s not possible to 

adjust tweeter attenuation after you have done some critical listening. 2- WATER DAMAGE! Damage 

may occur to the crossover if it is exposed to water when located in a door. If you need to mount them 

in the door please make sure you mount them in a DRY AREA. Water damage is NOT covered under 

warranty.

4.  Adjust the tweeter level jumpers according to the tweeter chart, (only use if not bi-amping the system).

5.  Replace the cover.

The purpose of these jumpers is to match the tweeter volume to the midrange or midbass. This can be 

adjusted easily by listening to a well recorded track. If the tweeters sound too loud in comparison to the 

midrange or midbass then adjust the jumpers until it sound balanced. An RTA can also be used if you have 

one. The tweeter level attenuations are specified on the following page.

All crossovers will be shipped with bi-amp switches in the default single-amp position.
