2-Layer Wool Fibre Composite Cone: For the Sound Quality of our SHX advanced
high efficient OEM Upgrade Design we have researched carefully for an even lighter
vital wool fibre material. In composite with our proven paper former this is the
most natural material and choice. With a decrease aprox 10% in weight and an
increase of sffness and the vitality of the cone surface our SHX cone Design step
up the already outstanding fine dynamic and resoluon of our well known SX Series.
Together with a 25% stronger motor SHX set an even higher benchmark for the best
OEM Upgrade Design for speakers up to 100 RMS/300 Wa Music Power Handling.

The EXCURSION steel baskets are DIN sized DIN sized fully vented Steel Basket:

for easy OEM Upgrade Replacement. Their symmetrical design together with the
stamped EXCURSION logos ensure outstanding stac, aerodynamic and sffness.
Coated with black anvibraon colour the baskets are acouscal deaden to provide
best results. We at EXCURSION took especially care of maximum cooling of voice coil.
All baskets are symmetrical vented below the spider for maximum heat transfer,
knowing that a cool voice coil is able to take more power and handle more power.

For our SHX advanced high efficient OEM Upgrade Design we 3Ohm Voice Coils:

have researched to lower the Voice Coil impedance to 3Ohm, which step up in aprox
25% more power supply from most amplifiers on the market. From the decrease of
impdeance we could benefit and balance with thicker copper wire of voice coil and
step up once more in higher power handling. But as we are EXCURSION and the
best is not enough, we have pole piece vented all motors for extra cooling and are
seng new standards with taking over aluminium former top venlaon technology

Using the finest materials of Pure silk with perfect EXCURSION lineary, the
EXCURSION Tweeters love to get compared with the leading audiophile`s in the world.

We at EXCURSION have designed the One way Hide Away Plug&Play Crossovers:

smartest high quality crossover soluon possible. We focus on the most important
and are using best parts and cables which can get plugged in various combinaons.
Compareable to the Voice Coil we could increase the copper wire diameter of our
magnet core low pass coil caused of lowered 3Ohm impedance and step once more
up in Power Handling. With our Single way crossovers inliners and a range of level
resistors the system is prepared for demands of Bi-Wiring and level tuning on demand.

It is recommend that you have your new EXCURSION SX Series Automove
Speakers professionally installed by your authorizied EXCURSION dealer. This
will ensure use of proper installaon techniques and materials and save much
me and efforts. If you choose to perform your own installaon, the following
instrucon will give you direcon toward making your purchase complete. Read
the following informaon and precauons carefully. Failure to follow the stated

precauons may result in personal injury or damage the audio system or vehicle.

A.) Always make sure the speaker will easily fit into the intended mounng locaon
and that there is adequate cavity depth to accept the magnet structure.

B.) Check for adequate clearance between speaker and window, window crank,
power window mechanism, seat, glove box, rear deck torsion bars and other
items which may interfere with the speaker`s mounng. This is especially
important if any hole cung is required. Complete speaker, mounng size and
depth requirements can be found on page 9 of these instrucons. A good way to
confirm speaker place meet on a door or body panel is to place the speaker`s
die cast mounng ring onto the surface. Check for a flat mounng surface,
free from all obstrucon.

C.) The method of installaon choosen and level of execuon will effect the
overall performance of the EXCURSION Speakers. Thread each installaon
step with a high degree of aenon.

D.) Do not mount the speaker where water may splash the woofer cone.
A plasc cup or some heavy gauge plasc sheeng may be needed in some
locaons that are exposed to moisture from behind the body panel.

E.) Care must be taken to prevent low frequency cancelaon caused by air
leakage between the front and rear of the speaker (such as when mounted
on a curved or uneven surface, or when mounted in an oversized hole)

F.) Mounng panel reinformcement may be necessary in some cases in order
to prevent surface flex. This can be achieved by mounng the speaker on a
metal or wooden sub-baffle behind the body or door panel.

Consult an installaon specialst for further direcon.

G.) Unless you are replacing exisng speakers of same size, mounng locaons
will have to be cut into the doors, body panels or rear deck. In some cases
speaker mounng holes will be precut in the doors, bodypanels, or rear
deck steel. Due to their structural integrity and accessibility. These precut
mounng holes should be used whenever possible.

IMPORTANT: Never cut any metal that is an integral part of an automobile`s
safety or structural support system.

NOTE: EXCURSION strongly recommends that you operate the complete
audio system at low volume before final installaon of your SX Series
Automove Loudspeakers. This will allow a trial listening test before
securing the loudspeakers into their mounng locaons.

Make sure that all speaker wiring is fully protected from cung CAUTION:

or wear. Any short circuits developing as a result could severaley damage
the radio unit or amplifier. Make sure that all speaker wires easily reach the
speaker terminals without stress on the wire or connectors.
