SPEAKER PLACEMENT

THANK YOU for purchasing Infinity’s Reference
Series tweeter. We’ve organized this manual to
make your installation as simple and trouble-free
as possible. Please read it thoroughly before
proceeding.

Remember to keep your sales receipt with this
manual in a safe place so both are available for
future reference.

ABOUT THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Installation of automotive stereo components
can require extensive experience with a variety
of mechanical and electrical procedures.
Although these instructions explain how to
install Reference 1011t tweeters in a general
sense, they do not show the exact installation
methods for your particular vehicle. If you
feel you do not have the experience, do not
attempt the installation yourself; instead, ask
your authorized Infinity car audio dealer about
professional installation options.

LOUD MUSIC AND HEARING

Playing loud music in an automobile can
permanently damage your hearing, as well as
hinder your ability to hear traffic. The maximum
volume levels achievable with Infinity speakers,
combined with high power amplification, may
exceed safe levels for extended listening. We
recommend using low volume levels when
driving. Infinity accepts no liability for hearing
loss, bodily injury, or property damage as a
result of use or misuse of this product.

ABOUT THE CROSSOVER

Passive crossover design involves precise circuit
design and component selection. Moreover,
a well-designed crossover circuit provides an
intended electrical response, when combined
with the electrical properties of the speaker, to
provide a particular acoustic response. Each
enclosed crossover has been optimized to
provide a flat response when used with a
Reference 1011t tweeter.

Do not use another brand or type of passive
crossover, or connect more than one tweeter to
a crossover. Doing so may damage the tweeter.

INSTALLATION TIPS

• Always wear protective eyewear when using
any tools.

• Turn off all audio components and other
electrical devices before you start. Disconnect
the negative (–) lead from your vehicle’s battery.

• Keep speakers in their package until final
installation. When moving a speaker, always
rest it with the cone or dome facing up. Never
use force to install any speaker.

• Check clearances on both sides of a planned
mounting surface before drilling any holes or
installing any screws. Remember that the
screws can extend behind the surface.

• At the installation sites, locate and make a
note of all fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines,
vacuum lines and electrical wiring. Use
extreme caution when cutting or drilling in
and around these areas.

• Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility
knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl
to keep material from snagging in a drill bit
or saw.

• For door installations, check the clearance
with the windows throughout the range of the
window’s travel, and verify that a mounted
speaker will not interfere with the window
crank or power-window mechanism.

• If mounting speakers elsewhere, check for
clearance around rear-deck torsion bars, glove
box or other structural elements.

• Do not mount speaker

s where they will get wet.

ABOUT PLACEMENT

Figures 1 and 2 show possible speaker placements
with Figure 1 being more desirable. We recom­mend using the kick panel for mounting to obtain
the best staging and imaging in most vehicles.

Surface-mounting the tweeter

Figures 6A through 6D. The Starfish™ tweeter
mount is intended to be used when the tweeter
will be installed behind a factory grille (e.g.,
replacing the factory tweeter behind a door
panel). The Starfish will allow you to mount the
component tweeter directly to the panel itself or
to the area behind the panel. The six mounting
tabs can be removed easily to create a number
of custom configurations.

Note: Check screw clearance before installing.
Use glue if clearance is an issue.

Note: Not all possible mounting configurations
are shown.
