DLS PERFORMANCE SPEAKERS
OWNERS MANUAL
Welcome
Thank you for buying a DLS speaker. This model is a part of
DLS Performance speaker line.
Install the speakers yourself if you feel confident with our in-
structions and if you have the proper tools. A poor installation
job can destroy the final result even from these speakers, so if
you feel unsure, turn over the installation job to someone better
suited to it.
Installation
Mount the speakers in the door or in the dashboard of your
car. Normally they will fit in the facory pre-made mounting ho-
les. If you want an improved sound reinforce with a baffle of
MDF-board or similar. An installation high up on the door side
is to be prefered.
In many vehicles there are factory made places for tweeters
that you can use for installation. If this is impossible, try to In-
stall the tweeter close to the bass/mid driver. The tweeter can
also be installed on the dash-board, or recessed in the door
with the accessories in the tweeter box.
The crossover box has a HP-filter, connect the bass driver to
the crossover terminal, or direct from the output on the head
unit or amplifier as in this drawing:
