Before starting the installation, you should decide the location for all
components of the speaker system.
This can be the door of the vehicle, the dashboard or rear parcel shelf. You
may also choose to make custom mounts for the speakers as the best results
can often be obtained by using MDF bafe rings.
The woofer can be used with or without the grill which allows you to mount
it in the factory locations where compatible. If you are custom mounting the
woofer you should use the supplied grill to protect the cone from damage.
Please ensure that wherever you choose to mount the woofer you have
adequate clearance at the rear and that it does not foul any mechanism for
the window or central locking motor. Also please ensure that if it is being
mounted in a door that the window will move freely up and down to its fullest
extent.
When you have chosen your mounting location you will need to cut out a hole
with either a jigsaw or a router. The cutout size for the 4” is 95mm for the
5.25” it is 113mm and for the 6.5” it is 146mm.
Once the hole is cut please trial t the woofer to ensure clearance at the rear
and also at this time you can mark the holes for the screws.
Remove the woofer and drill out the mounting screw holes.
You can then mount the woofer and grill assembly and secure it complete with
the supplied screws.
The tweeter comes supplied with two different housing which allow you to
mount it in a wide variety of locations.
Using the ush mount housing will allow you to mount the tweeter ush to
either the door panel or other at surface.
Once you have chosen your mounting location for the tweeter you should
again check for clearance at the rear of the panel to allow the tweeter to sit
ush.

Next you will need to cut a 45mm hole for the tweeter body to t through the
panel. Once the hole is cut you can insert the tweeter into the hole and use
the supplied bracket to secure it from the rear.
If you are to use the surface mount option you should remove the front bezel
from the tweeter by unscrewing it anti clockwise. Once apart you can drill
two pilot holes in the chosen mounting location for the screws that will hold
the rear section of the tweeter in place. You will also need to drill one other
hole for the wires to pass through the panel.
Once the rear housing is mounted you can then insert the tweeter and then
screw the surface mount cowling onto the assembly.
The crossover can be mounted in whichever location is most suitable for your
chosen application however the following points should be noted.
The crossover is not waterproof so care should be taken when mounting
inside a door panel that no water will be able to enter the crossover. Try and
mount the crossover as high up the door as possible and make sure that water
running in between the window runners will not contact the crossover.
The Harmony tweeter has the ability to be angled for even further ne tuning.
This feature is available in both the surface mount and ush mount options.
We recommend you try moving the tweeter slightly after installation and set
up is complete and see which position gives the best results.
Please note that the tweeters do not have to be angled directly at the ears
as this can sometimes produce a very poor stage. Instead, use the angle
adjustment to compensate for poor factory mounting locations and raise the
perceived soundstage further up the car to the dashboard level. Also please
note that you do not have to set both tweeters to the same angle as better
sound may be produced by having slightly different angles.

When you come to wire up your new Harmony component speakers please
ensure that the speaker’s wires do not get pinched behind any panels and that
they are not going to get nipped by and panel securing screws. Also please
make sure that wherever the wires pass through metal that they are protected
by a grommet (door jambs).

:
• Check connections on speaker are good and connections at source are
good.
• Make sure gain or volume is turned up. Check that none of the
speaker wires are shorted or pinched behind a panel or trim. Check all
connections at crossover especially the tweeter level input connections.
• Check that gain levels are correct at all ampliers and processors. Also
check that crossover points are correct.
• Also check that the speaker wires are not shorted or touching any bare
metal.
:
• The speaker may have been damaged due to incorrect mounting or may
have been driven by to small an amplier causing a clipped signal to be
sent to the speaker which may have damaged the voice coil.
• Check that all speakers are wired ‘in phase’. This means that all positive
wires go to all positive speaker terminals and the same for negative.
