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 UX full range loudspeakers.

We recommend you have your new UX 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 UX loudspeakers responsibly. Very loud music can cause permanent
hearing loss.

UX FULL RANGE LOUDSPEAKER FEATURES:

• Graphite Injected Cone- for strength, durability and stability during high power

operation.

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

than foam surrounds

• Titanium Dome Tweeters and Mid-ranges provide smooth response beyond 20kHz

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

II. Package Contents

• 1 pair of UX full range loudspeakers

• 1 pair of speaker grilles and mounting rings

• Grille mounting adhesive

• 20' of #18AWG speaker wire

• Mounting hardware (screws and screw clips)

• Instruction manual, warranty card and cut-out template

III. Installation

1. Choose a mounting location for your UX 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.

4. Feed the speaker wires through the openings and
mounting rings, and connect them to the speaker
terminals. Make sure you maintain the correct
polarity. If you need to run new wiring, the
supplied speaker wire is marked to help you
maintain correct polarity when making
connections. The terminals at one end of the
speaker wire are coded by size to match the

speaker terminals. Just push the connectors onto
the matching terminals.

5. Fit the mounting rings and speakers to the cut-outs,
