I. Introduction

You have purchased a very sophisticated full range audio transducer 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 continues with products like Titanium II full range loudspeakers.

We recommend you have your new Titanium II loudspeakers installed by a professional.
Professional installation shops have the equipment to do the job correctly, and the experience
to recommend the best mounting locations in your vehicle.

Please use your new Titanium II loudspeakers responsibly. Very loud music can cause
permanent hearing loss.

TITANIUM II FULL RANGE LOUDSPEAKER FEATURES:

• Titanium II cone formula- for strength, durability and stability during high power

operation at extreme temperatures.

• The Butyl Rubber Surround has superior damping characteristics and will last longer

than foam surrounds
Bumped back plate- makes sure the voice coil never bottoms out.

•

• Titanium Dome Tweeters provide smooth response beyond 25kHz for crystal clear

high frequencies. An integral phase plug insures even dispersion throughout the
listening area.

• Titanium Dome Mid-ranges add warmth and presence to the sound of the TF690 and

TF800.

• The TF800 includes an adapter for mounting in a 6" X 9" cut-out.

III. Installation

1. Choose a mounting location for your Titanium II loudspeakers. 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 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 the original factory speakers with speakers that are 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.
