RSd SPEAKER INSTALLATION
Selecting the placement of your new RSd Coaxial speakers could be as easy as using the existing factory locations or may require you to create a
new location. Speaker placement in the door, dash, or rear deck is the most common. See your local Phoenix Gold Dealer for additional location
and mounting assistance.
DOORS /REAR DECK
1. Many vehicles already have factory locations (Figure 1.) to house the “DROP IN” feature of the RSd Coaxial line. If no existing locations are
available or are not used, check the desired location for adequate cutout area and any depth obstructions. Make sure to allow sufficient
clearance for window tracks, structural braces, trunk lid springs, etc.
2. Assuming enough area and depth is available, use the provided template and trace the speaker cutout and mounting holes onto the surface of
the mounting location.
3. If the mounting surface is not structurally strong enough to accommodate screws, (i.e. plastic, cardboard) use the provided speed clips which
will act as a nut for the supplied screws.
4. Always provide water protection if not supplied in the vehicle. We suggest using a rain shield or equivalent. If in doubt, please contact your
Phoenix Gold Dealer.
TWEETER ADJUSTMENT
The 20mm tweeters can pivot in their housing. When mounted low in the door, angle the tweeter up for better off axis performance.In rear deck or
dashboard installations, angle the tweeter away from the rear glass to
reduce reflections.

CROSSOVER HOOKUP
The crossover provided with the RSd component set is optimized to give
the most accurate in-car response. Use only the crossover provided;
the use of any other crossover may result in damage to one or more of
the RSd series components.
The basic component system hookup requires signal, via speaker wire,
to run from your power amplifier (not included in this set) to each of the
AMPLIFIER (NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SET)
two crossovers that come with your RSd component system, designate
one for the left channel and one for the right. Connect that signal to
the signal input on the crossover. From there connect your component
woofer and tweeters to the corresponding crossover using the correct
polarity.

TWEETER INSTALLATION - FLUSH MOUNT
With a variety of supplied mounting options, the RSd series tweeter is easy to install in any vehicle. Each RSd component set comes with a flush
mount and surface mount installation kit. For other custom mounting configurations, please contact your authorized Phoenix Gold Dealer.
Flush Mount: For optimal tweeter installation, use the Flush Mount option. The Flush mount requires 3⁄4” depth and a 15⁄8” mounting hole in the
mounting surface.
The RSd tweeters have been designed to pivot in their housing. This allows the user to pivot the tweeter during the installation process for optimum
listening results.
For best results always try to maintain equal path lengths between the right and the left tweeter and the listening position. This is usually accomplished
by mounting as low and deep as possible in a kick panel installation, or high and deep in a dash board installation. Be cautious in dash board
installations not to reflect the tweeter off of the windshield. This increases reflections and can greatly diminish the overall system listening quality.
For door panel installations try to angle the tweeters toward the listener to minimize cross cancelation.
