GETTING STARTED:
• Turn off the audio system. It is also advisable to
disconnect the negative (-) terminal of your
vehicle’s battery whenever performing
installation work.
• Before cutting, drilling or inserting any screw,
check clearances on both sides of the planned
mounting surface. Also check for any potential
obstacles, such as window tracks and motors,
wiring harnesses, etc. Check both sides of the
vehicle, many vehicles are not symmetrical!
• Always wear protective eyewear.
WARNING!
It is absolutely vital that your component
system is connected as shown in the diagrams
below. Failure to connect the system as
shown will result in damage to your speakers
which is NOT covered under warranty.
Do not substitute different crossover networks
into your XR650-CSi System. Only use crossover
networks clearly marked “XR650/570-CSpxo”.

STANDARD OR BI-WIRE (BI-AMP) INPUT SELECTION:
The input to the crossover networks can be set up two ways:
Standard: Your crossovers are pre-set in this position at the factor y.This position is selected by placing the
jumpers in the lower position as shown above. Use this setting to drive the crossovers with a single amplifier
channel or pair of wires. In this mode, you will only use the input connections marked “Main Input” on the
crossover cover (“INL+” and “INL–” on the crossover circuit board.) Follow the white markings labeled
“Standard” on the crossover cover.
Bi-Wire (Bi-Amp): This position is selected by placing the jumpers in the upper position as shown below. In
this mode, the input to the woofer’s low-pass filter and the tweeter’s high-pass filter is electrically isolated.This
way, you can connect different amplifier channels to the woofer and tweeter sections (bi-amp), or you can run
separate wires for each section from the amplifier (bi-wire). In this mode, you will use the Input connections
marked “Tweeter Input” and “Woofer Input” on the crossover cover (“INL+”,“INL–”, “INH+” and “INH-” on
the crossover circuit board). Follow the gold markings labeled “Bi-Wire” on the crossover cover.
Please note that the use of additional active filtering on the amplifiers or outboard active crossovers is not
recommended in this mode for the woofer low-pass or the tweeter high-pass.
