WELCOME
Thank you for buying a DLS REFERENCE speaker. This manual will show you how to do a correct installa­tion. Please read the entire manual before beginning the installation. Install the speakers yourself if you feel confident with our instructions and if you have the proper tools. However if you feel unsure, turn over the installation job to someone better suited to it.
INSTALLATION
Mount the speakers in the door or in the dashboard of your car. Normally they will fit in the facory pre-made mounting holes. If you want an improved sound reinforce with a baffle of MDF-board or similar . An installation high up on the door side is to be prefered. An alternative in­stallation is in so called kick panels down on each side of the floor with the speakers facing up- and inwards towards the listener. For two- or three way speaker systems with separate tweeter an installation of the tweeter close to the bass/ mid element is to be prefered. The tweeter can also be installed on the dash-board, or recessed in the door with the accessories in the tweeter box. It is important to fasten the speakers properly in order to avoid bad sound or rattling. For speakers with separate filters in boxes or similar it is vital that they are attached properly to the interior of the vehicle to avoid rattling. Don´t place them close to the internal wiring of the car, this can cause interference. Avoid to install filter boxes in the door sides because they can easily be broken because of rattling or moisture. Make sure the cables don´t get jammed causing a short circuit to ground. This can damage the output circuits of the head unit or amplifier. The sealing strip coming with some of the kits can be used for improved sealing between the bass element and the mounting surface. The tweeter installation for kits with separate tweeter is described on last page, or in the instruction sheet coming with the tweeters.
SPEAKER ENCLOSURES
If you want to install the speaker in an enclosure the nor­mal size for a sealed type is: 4” (10 cm) speakers : 2-4 liters 5,25” (13 cm) speakers : 6-8 liters 6,5” (16,5 cm) speakers : 10-12 liters 8” (20 cm) speakers : 15-20 liters 6 x 9” speakers : 15-20 liters 7 x 10” speakers : 20-25 liters
These volumes are only a guideline. The volumes can vary between different speakers. Contact your local DLS dealer for more exact information about your specific speaker.
TWO-WAY SYSTEMS PS4/4A, PS5/5A & PS6/6A
These 2-way systems have a separate tweeter. The filt­ers are either single filter box (PS4/5/6) or separate lowpass and highpass in a plastic boxes with selectable tweeter level inside (PS4A/5A/6A). PS-series have small installation depth and fits mots modern vehicles. Install the filter boxes in a dry place. Fasten them with screws or wire ties. If installed in the door side face the connections downwards to avoid moisture inside the filter box. On the following pages you can see how to connect the filters.
The filters must be used, if you connect without them the sound becomes bad and you will destroy the tweeter.
TWO-WAY SYSTEMS R4, R5A & R6A
These 2-way systems have a separate tweeter. The filt­ers are combined lowpass and highpass in a plastic box with selectable tweeter level inside. R-series are spekers with heavy magnet systems giving good speker control but instead a larger installation depth. On the following pages you can see how to connect the filters.
The filters must be used, if you connect without them the sound becomes bad and you will destroy the tweeter.
COAXIAL SPEAKERS R964 & R1070
These coaxial speakers have a separate filter box with lowpass filter for the woofer and a highpass filter for the tweeter. The tweeter level can be adjusted inside the filter box in two steps, high and low. R964 has a bi-wiring op­tion in the filter. On the following pages you can see how to connect the filter.
The filters must be used, if you connect without them the sound becomes bad and you will destroy the tweeter.
TWO-WAY SYSTEMS MS5 & MS6
These 2-way systems have a separate 28 mm tweeter. The filters are combined lowpass and highpass in a plastic box with selectable tweeter level inside. MS-series are spekers with heavy magnet systems. The woofers mag­nesium cone body delivers a tight & controlled bass. On the following pages you can see how to connect the filters.
The filters must be used, if you connect without them the sound becomes bad and you will destroy the tweeter.
IMPORTANT! The speaker cone is made of magnesium, a material of low weight with excellent acoustic qualitys. We recommend you to NEVER touch the cone body of MS5 or MS6 with your fingers. Remaining deformation of the cone body will occour if you touch it.

RUNNING-IN PERIOD
Allow the speakers to play for at least 15-20 hours. After this time the performance is correct.
SPEAKER PHASING
To be sure to have the correct speaker polarity (phase) you can check this by using a 1,5 Volt battery. Connect a cable from the battery plus-pole to the speaker plus,
power power tivity size depth hole
CONNECTION OF SPEAKERS
Make sure you connect the cables with correct polarity to the speakers. Observe the markings on the terminal. The small terminal is minus.

and a cable from the battery minus to the speaker minus. If the speakers are correctly connected the speaker cone should move outwards on both right and left channel.

This check must be made on the cables going from the speakers, to the output terminals of your car stereo or amplifier.

THE JUMPERS INSIDE THE FILTER:
JUMPER J1
Jumper J1 is used for lowering the x-over frequency to the tweeter. J1 position Low: When the tweeter is mounted apart from the bass element (for example on the dashboard), use this position . J1 position Hi: When both tweeter and bass elements are mounted close together (for example in the door side), use this position .
TWEETER LEVEL: JUMPER J2
Select tweeter level by moving the small jumper J2 inside the filter box.

Filter installation and connection of R1070
Connection and tweeter level select R1070:
Use the red, blue and black cables to connect between the filter box and speaker terminal. Note the speaker terminal colour marking. Select tweeter level by moving the jumper inside the filter box between high / low. Make your own tests for best result.
Filter installation and connection of R964
How to connect R964:
1. Normal mode.
In normal use (not Bi-wiring) connect the input from head unit or amplifier to the woofer input.
Jumper J1 and J2 must be in position IN.
2. Bi-wiring mode.
Bi-wiring means that the signal is separated to the woofer and the tweeter. For example, when using separate amplifiers for woofer and tweeter. Both filter inputs are used. Set jumper J1
and J2 in position OUT to separate the filters + and ground.
If you connect the speaker element with active crossover, using the amplifiers internal filters, you don´t need the filter boxes. Use 3,5 kHz as X-over point.
T weeter level: jumper J3 and J4
The tweeter level can be adjusted in three steps by moving the small jumpers (J2 and J3) inside the filter box.

SURFACE MOUNTING:
Plain mounting: Use only the plain mounting cup (1) (it´s normally mounted at delivery). Attach to surface with the two screws or double adhesive tape. Angled mounting: Remove the plain mounting cup by bending with a small screw driver in the gap (A). Attach the tweeter element to the angled cup (2) as shown on picture 3. Pull the cable through the cen­ter hole. Now the tweeter can be mounted in two different angles. Attach to the surface with the two screws or double adhesive tape.

RECESSED MOUNTING:
Drill a hole in the door side with a diameter of 48 mm /1,89". The in­stallation becomes easier if the door side is removed from the door. Put the two metal wings through the two tracks in the center of the cup, just as the picture shows, and attach them with the M4 screw and nut through the center hole. Put the tweeter element into the cup with the cable going out through the bottom hole. Attach the tweeter element to the plain cup using the mounting ring (C) attached between the cup and the tweeter element. The metal wings (B) should be on the back side of the door panel, holding the cup in place.
