FACTS ABOUT DLS MAGNESIUM SERIES
DLS MS5, MS6, MAGNESIUM series
MOUNTING:
Mount the speakers in the door or in the dashboard of your car.
Normally they will fit in the cars original mounting hole. If
possible reinforce with a baffle of MDF-board or similar. An in-
stallation high up on the door side is to be prefered. An
alternative installation is in so called kick panels down on each
side of the floor with the speakers facing up- and inwards
towards the listener. An installation of the tweeter close to the
bass/mid element is to be prefered. The tweeter can also be
installed on the dash-board, or recessed in the door with the
accessories in the tweeter box.
It is important to fasten the speakers properly in order to avoid
bad sound and rattling.
The filters included with the speakers must also be fastened
properly to avoid rattling. Don´t place them close to the cars
internal wiring, this can cause interference. Make sure the
cables don´t get jammed causing a short circuit to ground. This
can damage the amplifier circuits.
The speaker grilles are mounted in the plastic speaker frame by
wiyhout the use of any compound.
The sealing strip coming with the kit can be used for improved
sealing between the bass element and the mounting surface.
The tweeter installation is described in the instruction sheet
coming with the tweeters.
IMPORTANT!
The speaker cone is made of magnesium, a material of low
weight with excellent acoustic qualitys.
We recommende you to NEVER touch the cone body with
you fingers
Remaining deformation of the cone body will occour if you
push it with your fingers.
Thank you for buying Magnesium 2-way system.
This instruction will help you to do a correct installation.
If you want to get the best possible sound from your speakers we
advice you to read and follow this instruction.
If possible mount the speakers in a baffle of MDF-board or similar
to avoid rattling.
For best result use high quality speaker cables, minimum 1,5 mm

.

Speaker connection and tweeter level
select:
The filters coming with the system must be connected with
the respective speaker element as in the drawing. Select
tweeter level by moving the jumper inside the filter box
between high / low. Make your own tests for best result.
Sometimes the midrange can be improved by phase
reversing the tweeter. Try it and judge yourself.
NOTE! The filters must be used. If the tweeters
are connected without filter they will be damaged
and the sound reproduction becomes bad.
BUILDING BOXES
If you want to build a box for your
bass/mid speakers, a sealed type
is to be prefered. The box volume
can vary depending on how much
bass you want from your speakers.
For fullrange use of the speakers,
follow the recommended box
volume in the table. If you want to
limit the bass reproduction at for
ex. 100 Hz, divide these volumes
by half.
SPEAKER PHASING
To be sure to have the correct speaker polarity (phase) you can
check this by using a 1,5 Volt battery. (Not on the tweeter).
Connect a cable from the battery plus(+) to the speaker plus,
and a cable from the battery minus (-) to the speaker minus.
If the speakers are correctly connected the speaker cone
should move outwards on both right and left channel.
This check must be made on the cables going from the
speakers, to the output terminals of your car stereo or amplifier.
