I. Introduction

You have purchased a very sophisticated component speaker system
manufactured by Ultimate Sound. Founded in 1975, Ultimate Sound
makes speakers for every car audio application, speakers for marine
environments, enclosed speaker systems, amplifiers, accessories and other
products. Our tradition of leadership and innovation in the audio industry

We recommend you have your new
installed by a professional. Professional installation shops have the
equipment to do the job correctly, and the experience to recommend the

loud music can cause permanent hearing loss.

during high power operation at extreme temperatures.

smooth response beyond 25kHz for crystal clear high frequencies.
Flush, surface, or angle mount for complete flexibility in planning
your installation.

1. Choose mounting locations for your Platinum Format crossovers.
Make sure the the crossovers
will not obstruct the
mechanical function of any
device or system in the
vehicle. Be sure the
mounting location and the
drilling of screw holes for
mounting will not present a
hazard to any wires, control
cables, fuel lines, fuel tanks,
hydraulic lines, or other
vehicle systems or
components.

2. Press the indentation at the
end opposite the connecting
terminals and lift off the
crossover cover. If you wish
to mount the crossover to a
flat surface, use the
crossover as a template to
mark where to drill the
mounting holes. Use a
1/8”(3mm) bit, drill the
holes and use the supplied
screws to mount the
crossover.

3. Connect the crossovers to your amplifier, mid-woofer, and tweeter
locations. The terminals are marked for easy identification and to help
you observe the correct polarity. Just insert the wire ends into the
terminal slots, and secure the connection by tightening the terminal
screws.

mounting will not present a hazard to any wires, control cables, fuel
lines, fuel tanks, hydraulic lines, or other vehicle systems or
components. For rear deck installations, make sure the speakers will
not interfere with opening and closing the trunk.

2. If you are replacing an original factory speaker with a speaker that is
exactly the same size, you may not need to cut or drill any new holes
or run any additional wires. Simply connect the speakers, observing
correct polarity, and mount the speakers in the factory location, using
the original mounting cut-outs, screw holes and hardware. You
probably will not need the grilles and mounting rings for replacement
installations.

3. Use the supplied template as a guide to cut the proper diameter
mounting holes. Use the template or mounting ring to mark the
locations for the mounting screws and drill the holes with a 1/8”
diameter bit.

IV. Installation- Mid-Woofers

1. Choose mounting locations for your Titanium II mid-woofers. Check

for clearance behind the speaker mounting locations, making sure the
speakers will not interfere with any handles, window cranks, door
locks, or brackets. If the speakers are to be mounted in the vehicle
doors, check the operation of all functions(windows, locks, and any
other switches or hand cranks) to make sure there is no obstruction.
Be sure the mounting location and the drilling of screw holes for
