WELCOME
Thank you for buying a DLS ULTIMATE 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. The ULTIMATE speakers are our best speaker line
but a poor installation job can destroy the final result even
from these speakers. So 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 closed box is:
5,25” (13 cm) speakers : 6-8 liters
6,5” (16,5 cm) speakers : 10-12 liters
8” (20 cm) speakers : 15-20 liters
TWO-WAY SYSTEMS UP5 & UP6
These 2-way systems have a separate UP1C tweeter. The
filters are combined lowpass and highpass in a plastic
box with selectable tweeter level inside.
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. You don´t have to use the passive crossover
if the system is connected to separate amplifiers and
an active crossover.
THREE-WAY SYSTEMS UP35 & UP36
These 3-way systems have separate UP1C tweeter and
UP2,5 midrange. The filter components are mounted in a
plastic box with selectable tweeter and midrange level inside.
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. You don´t have to use the passive crossover
if the system is connected to separate amplifiers and
an active crossover.
TWO-WAY SYSTEMS UR5, UR6, UR5S & UR6S
These 2-way systems have a separate UR1 tweeter. The
filters are combined lowpass and highpass in a plastic
box with selectable tweeter level inside.
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. You don´t have to use the passive crossover
if the system is connected to separate amplifiers and
an active crossover.
THREE-WAY SYSTEMS UR35S & UR36S
These 3-way systems have separate UR1 tweeter and
UR2,5 midrange. The filter components are mounted in a
plastic box with selectable tweeter and midrange level inside.
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. You don´t have to use the passive crossover
if the system is connected to separate amplifiers and
an active crossover.
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.

Allow the speakers to play for at
least 15-20 hours. After this time the
performance is correct.

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
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,
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 drawing shows the connection of a 3-way system to one channel.
The other channel is connected in the same way. The tweeter level is
adjustable in three steps, the MID level in two steps:
Tweeter level (J3):
High = jumper in HI-position
Mid = jumper in MID-position
Low = jumper in LO-position
Midrange level J2):
High = jumper in HI-position
Low = jumper in LO-position
Jumper J1 is used when you want to run the system without
midbass driver. In this case some components inside the filter
must be disconnected.
Midbass connected: jumper mounted in IN-position.
Midbass disconnected: jumper mounted in OUT-position.
NOTE!
If the system is used together with a subwoofer, test to phase reverse the
subwoofer to see what sounds best.
