BASS MOUNTING
To get the best possible music reproduction, it is important to isolate the sound that is produced from
the rear of the speaker from the sound that is produced from the front of the speaker. To isolate the
front from the back wave, make sure the speaker is mounted in a baffl e or plate, so that the back of
the speaker is in a sealed chamber.

Mounting
• Select the mounting location (door panels, rear side panels, rear deck, etc...)
• Using the supplied templates, mark the mounting holes on the door panel or rear deck
• Drill or cut the required holes as needed
• Install the units as illustrated in the diagrams

*Note: The TXC6.1 and TXC6.0 are supplied with plastic mounting adapters. The adapters are used
to convert the smaller basket sizes needed for European models to the larger domestic sizes. The
plates will allow a tight and accurate fi t, decreasing the need to fabricate adapters out of MDF or
plastic.

CROSSOVER MOUNTING
When choosing the mounting location of the crossover, accessibility is important. Some adjustments
may be made after the components have been installed, so convenient positioning of the crossover is
crucial. Also, the crossover has electronic components that must be mounted so it does not come in
contact with moisture.

WIRING
When installing these woofers, consider the age of the factory wiring and gauge (size) of wire. If
the vehicle is an older model or was pre-wired with small wire (18 gauge or less), running new high
performance wire (http://www.streetwires.com/products/speakerCable/microUltraCable.cfm) will be
necessary. The speaker wire should run from the amplifi er’s output terminals, under the carpet and
through the factory rubber boot (loom) that protects the wires in the inner door jam. If the factory
boot cannot be used, take other measures to protect these wires as best you can. Sometimes the
door has to be completely removed to use the factory boot. If this is something that you do not feel
comfortable doing, please ask a professional to help you. The wires should originate from the ampli-
fi er and attach to the crossover inputs.

CROSSOVER CONNECTIONS
Included with each TXC6.0 woofer system is a 2-way high-pass/low-pass 12dB per octave crossover
network. The crossover network allows the TXC6.0 driver to recreate frequencies within a precisely-
designed range so that it does not become distorted by trying to reproduce frequencies that it is not
physically able to. It ensures that the bass driver does not receive high frequencies that are meant
for the midrange and tweeter. The high-pass/low-pass 12dB per octave design complements the
TXC6.0 woofer or can be used in addition to a TXC component system to provide greater musical
detail.

Note: The TXC6.0 crossover system fl ips the polarity of the High Frequency (HF) outputs so that the
3-way system sums to have a fl at frequency response. Please take note of this if you ever add an
additional TXC.1 to your system. With the TXC.1, you will have to fl ip polarity on the output of the
additional tweeter to sum with the 3-way system.

additional tweeter to sum with the 3-way system.
Stand Alone System
When using the TXC6.0 woofer as a stand alone bass driver, connect the crossover by connecting
the positive and negative wires from the amp to the LF+ and LF- or HF+ and HF- input terminals on
the crossover respectively. Then connect the woofer’s positive and negative wires to the LF+ and
LF- output terminals on the crossover respectively.

Three-Way System
One of the most signifi cant features of the TXC6.0 woofer is the separate crossover and its ability to
connect to a 2-way TXC system and become a true 3-way system. This splits the lower frequencies
between the existing midrange and the TXC6.0 woofer to make each speaker responsible for fewer
frequencies and allows clearer, more accurate reproduction. While the TXC’s sound quality is already
the best in the market, this 3-way system creates an even better musical experience with more
precise frequency response.

When creating a 3-way system and connecting to an existing TXC 2-way crossover, the terminals
for the TXC6.0 woofer’s crossover are connected in between the amp and the other components’
crossover. First, connect the positive and negative wires from the amp to either the LF+ and LF- or
HF+ and HF- input terminals on the TXC6.0 crossover respectively. Next, connect the positive and
negative wires from the TXC6.0 woofer to the LF+ and LF- output terminals on the crossover. Finally,
connect the TXC6.0 crossover’s HF+ and HF- output terminals to either the WF+ and WF- or TW+ and
TW- input terminals on the crossover for the TXC component system.

See the drawing on the next page for more information.
Note: Pay close attention to the markings on the crossover to be certain the correct speakers are in
the correct outlet. If a tweeter is accidentally asked to play the frequencies reserved for a mid-bass
driver, it will be damaged.
