pressure levels that exceed
the threshold at which hearing loss may
result.
They may also impair a driver’s ability to
hear traffic sounds or emergency vehicles. Use common sense and practice

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
The Directed CSX series neodymium
separates are designed for installation
into factory speaker locations, custom
mounting enclosures or any flat mounting
surface inside the vehicle. The following
precautions and instructions cover the
basic and most common types of installation.
Check behind panels for clearance of
metal brackets, hoses, and wire
harnesses before making any cuts.
When mounting speakers into doors,
roll the window up and down to
check clearance of the glass and
window regulator.
Make sure the mounting holes are
the correct size for the speaker.
Undersized holes can cause speaker
distortion or shorting of the speaker
leads to the chassis ground. Oversized holes will not allow the
mounting screws to make sufficient
contact with the panel, allowing the
speaker to become loose.
Always protect the wires when
routing by avoiding sharp metal
edges, moving parts such as heater
or vent controls, clutch pedals, brake
pedals, steering columns, and power
window motors and gears.
When routing wires through metal
panels and doorjambs always use
vinyl tubing and grommets for
protection and a professional-looking
installation.
Obtaining the highest quality sound
reproduction in the mobile environment
requires installation techniques and
knowledge of vehicle interiors that go
far beyond simple replacement of stock
speakers. Speaker location, orientation,
phasing, and the vehicles interior materials are important considerations when
designing and installing an auto sound
system.
To achieve the best sound quality
possible from your Directed SX loudspeakers, Directed recommends the
installation be performed by an MECP
certified technician.

WOOFER INSTALLATION
Review the
Installation Precautions
section of this guide before proceeding.
1. Place the cutout template against
the mounting surface in the desired
location for the woofer.
2. Draw the speaker hole and
mounting screw locations on the
panel with a marker.
The CSX650 woofer requires a
5-1/2" hole.
3. Remove the cutout template and
carefully cut the speaker hole to the
proper size. If there is a pre-existing
hole that is undersize, mark it and
cut it to the proper size. If the hole is
oversize, it is recommended that a
spacer be built to compensate.
4. Pre-drill the holes for the mounting
screws using a 1/8" drill bit.
5. Route the supplied wires through
the speaker location to the
crossover.
6. Install the screw speed clips if not
installing into a metal panel.
7. Connect the speaker wire to the
woofer taking care to observe
proper speaker polarity.
8. Place the woofer into the hole and
attach woofer and grill as shown
below using the supplied screws.
Take care at this time not to slip
with a tool while mounting or the
speaker could be damaged.

TWEETER INSTALLATION
Review the
Installation Precautions
section of this guide before proceeding.
Flush Mounting into
Mounted Panels
1. Determine the tweeter mounting
location, then route the wires from
the crossover to the tweeter location.
2. Mark the center point of the
tweeter location.
3. If using a hole saw, first drill a pilot
hole, then cut out the hole using a
standard 1-3/4" hole saw.
4. If not using a hole saw, use either
the cardboard packaging for the
tweeters or the surface mount trim
ring as a template to mark the
proper size hole. Cut out the hole.
5. Remove the tweeter grill, and the
remove the tweeter from the
surface mount housing using the
tweeter tool (turn CW). Insert the
proper length machine bolt through
the housing and connect to the
metal mounting bracket. (See
Figure 2.)
6. Connect the speaker wires
observing the correct polarity.
7. Press the metal bracket portion of
the assembly through the hole.
8. Screw the bolts in until the tweeter
housing is firmly mounted to the
panel.
9. Insert the tweeter into the housing
and use the tweeter tool and rotate
the tweeter CCW till locked. Attach
the tweeter grill.

Tweeter Surface Mounting
1. Determine the tweeter mounting
location, then route the wires from
the crossover to the tweeter location.
2. Remove the tweeter grill, and the
remove the tweeter from the
surface mount housing using the
tweeter tool (turn CW). Place the
surface mount housing against the
panel and mark the two holes at the
rear of the housing.
3. Drill the smaller off-center holes
using a 1/8" drill bit. These are the
mounting screw holes.
4. Drill a larger center hole using a
3/8" drill bit, insert a grommet and
route the speaker wire from the
crossover through the grommet.
5. After removing the surface mount
tweeter assembly, route the tweeter
wires through the larger center hole
to the speaker wires from the
crossover. (See Figure 4.)
6. Insert the excess speaker wire into
the hole and position the housing so
the housing will not pinch the wires
after final mounting.
7. Attach the housing using the
supplied screws of the correct length
for a solid mount.
8. Insert the tweeter into the housing
and use the tweeter tool and rotate
the tweeter CCW till locked. Attach
the tweeter grill.
