INTRO­DUCTION
AND
REGISTRATION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Soundstream EXACT6.2 Coaxial Speaker
System. You now own one of the finest car audio speaker systems available.

As with all high quality car audio components, professional installation is
recommended. Your dealer’s knowledge and experience can ensure a problem-free,
cosmetically integrated installation. If you plan on installing the EXACT6.2 speaker
system yourself, please review this Owner’s Manual first before attempting installation.
In addition, it’s a good idea to keep the manual for future reference.

EXACT 6.2
DESIGN

FEATURES

The EXACT6.2 Coaxial Speaker System is the result of highly focused engineering effort. Each
element of the EXACT6.2 represents several advances in automotive speaker technology.
When the project was initiated, the following goals were established:

•High performance sound reproduction in the automotive environment

•Ease of installation

•Superb ergonomics and visual appeal

•High output capability

•Ability to “tailor” sound to each vehicle

Through extensive testing and development, the EXACT6.2 has been designed to provide
extremely consistent on and off-axis response in the automobile. The high output capability and
low frequency extension of the EXACT6.2 are atypical of 6 1/2” drivers due to the excursion
capabilities of the EXACT 6 and the steep crossover slopes of the EXACT6.2X.

These efforts have resulted in an extremely flexible speaker system that performs flawlessly in a
variety of installation locations in virtually any vehicle.

EXACT6.2 Midrange / Woofer

The EXACT6.2 represents a departure from typical midrange/midbass drivers by combining
massive midbass and exceptionally smooth midrange.

•Copper Inductance Cap for smoother midrange response and lower distortion

•Natural Fiber Cone designed for optimum rigidity and damping with minimal “coloration.”

25mm Soft Dome Neodymium Tweeter

The EXACT6.2's tweeter is an ultra-high performance 25mm Neodymium tweeter designed to
deliver outstanding high frequency reproduction.

• Fourth-generation Neodymium Magnetic Assembly providing performance comparable or
superior to tweeters three times the size.

• Specially-treated Textile Dome for a natural, smooth response to 20 kHz.

• Ferrofluid-immersed Voice Coil enhances heat dissipation

EXACT6.2X Passive Crossover Network

The EXACT6.2X Passive Crossover represents a new concept in crossover philosophy. The
EXACT6.2X crossover consists of high quality, multi-element components with two switchable
functions. First is a three position tweeter level control. Second, is a two position midrange
“presence” control. The combination of each allows for a multitude of control options. Dual inputs
allow for multi-channel amp operation of woofer and tweeter circuits.

• 24 dB/octave Acoustic Summation Crossover Slopes for smooth frequency response

• Variable Tweeter and Midrange Controls for added flexibility

• Dual Inputs for multi-amp operation and further flexibility

• Dynamic Tweeter Level Control allows for improved power handling and continuous output

• Ultra-low DCR Inductors for minimal signal loss (High power Air-core in woofer path)

• Mylar Film Capacitors to ensure low saturation and accuracy in the high frequencies

LOCATION
AND
MOUNTING

The first step in a successful installation is thorough planning. Choose the location for

your speaker components carefully. Follow these suggestions to ensure proper
imaging and the best performance:

•Choose a location that offers the least obstruction of sound to your ears.

•Always check behind the chosen mounting locations to make sure that there are no

obstructions (e.g., trunk springs, gas tank, window tracks) or wires in the way, as well

as to make sure that there is ample support on which to mount the components.
