CROSSOVER I N STA L L AT I O N :
The crossover included with the Tantrum-X component set is computer optimized to
give the most accurate in-car response possible. Use only the crossover provided.
The use of any other crossover may result in poor performance or damage to one or
more of the Tantrum-X components.The Tantrum-X crossover can be mounted anywhere that is convenient. Common mounting positions are under the dashboard, in
the kick panel, or under the rear deck. Be cautious when mounting the crossover
inside of a door panel that might be exposed to moisture.Remove the crossover
cover to access the two internal mounting holes. Use the supplied mounting screws
to secure the crossover. Make sure that there is ample clearance on both sides of
the mounting surface to avoid damaging other equipment in the vehicle.Wire the
crossover to the component speakers and amplifier as shown.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Tantrum-X crossover has been redesigned with flexibility in mind. We have
added a switch inside the crossover to allow either flat, musical response or +3dB
from the tweeter if desired. Make sure to adjust the tweeter crossover to your preferred setting before hiding the crossover in the door or panel!
