GENERAL INFO’S
The first step of a successful install is to choose the best mounting locations for the tweeters and
mid/woofers. Usually, cars come with factory speaker openings for mid/woofers, and the ECP-S6
sets are designed to fit a great variety of Euro-DIN bolt-hole patterns and cutouts. If you can not
mount the mid/woofers to an existing factory cutout, the alternative is to buy a set of car specific
speaker mounting adapters or a doorboard, to provide a stable platform for the ECP-S6 mid/
woofer mounting. In such a case, we recommend that you consult your authorized EMPHASER
dealer to ask for assistance.
TWEETER MOUNTING
The tweeter mounting location inside the car exhibits a distinct influence on the front staging and
tonality of the component system, overriding the system inherent sound quality. Depending on the
chosen location for tweeter mounting, the front staging is going to differ. Note that the tweeter level
can be attenuated by a slide switch on the crossover’s pcb bord, enabling you to tailor the treble
response for different mounting locations.
Aim for a tweeter location as unobstructed and as high as possible – highly recommended places are
the center of the A-pillars, the window triangles or else always as much up and in front as possible.
Attention:
The main radiation axis of both tweeters should cross at a virtual point approx. in the center bet-
ween and in front of passenger and driver’s seat. A direct “on-axis” installation of the tweeters, with
aim at the listener, is not recommended. The result of tweeters firing too much in direction of the
listerner is called “side-biasing”. The sound seems to originate from the door(s) instead of playing
in the center of the dash board!
