step 1: Determine the tweeter mounting location, then route the wires from the crossover to
the tweeter location .
step 2: Place the provided template or tweeter cup against the panel and mark the two holes
at the rear of the housing .
step 3: Drill the smaller holes using a 1/8" drill bit . These are the mounting screw holes .
WARNING: Check for clearance of window mechanisms and electrical wires befoRe you drill .
step 4: Drill the larger off-center hole using a 3/8" drill bit, insert a grommet and route the
speaker wire from the crossover through the grommet .
step 5: after removing the surface mount tweeter assembly trim ring, route the tweeter wires
through the larger hole in the housing and connect to the speaker wires from the
crossover . (see figure 4 .)
step 6: Insert the excess speaker wire into the hole and position the housing so the housing
will not pinch the wires after final mounting .
step 7: attach the housing using the supplied screws of the correct length for a solid mount .
step 8: Insert the tweeter into the housing and attach the surface mount trim ring .

step 1: . Determine where the tweeter will be mounted . Make sure there is a flat area large
enough for the tweeter and no obstructions behind the area .
step 2: using the back half of the tweeter housing, mark with a pen the hole needed for the
tweeter .
step 3: be sure the hole is large enough for the tweeter housing, but not so large that the
flange will not cover the hole . .
step 4: Cut the hole for the tweeter . When using factory locations, this step can be skipped .
a hole can be cut either with a pair of metal tin snips or a 1-7/8" hole saw for hard
materials .
WARNING: Check for clearance of window mechanisms and electrical wires befoRe you drill .
