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
continues with innovative products like UX Component Systems.

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

UX Component System 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 Swivel Tweeters with Neodymium Magnets

provide smooth response beyond 20kHz for crystal clear high
frequencies. Surface mount and aim anywhere for complete
installation flexibility.
Matched 12dB/Octave Crossovers for precise system tuning.

III. Installation- Crossovers

1. Choose mounting locations for your UX 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
terminals, and secure the connection by tightening the terminal screws.

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 UX 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
mounting will not present a hazard to any wires, control cables, fuel
lines, fuel tanks, hydraulic lines, or other vehicle systems or
