Installing the woofers
Choosing the right location
Mounting the woofers to the upper door will provide the best results in the midrange frequencies (fig. 1, A). Mounting
the woofers to the lower door (fig. 1, C), will provide the best bass but you may lose some midrange. Mounting the
woofers to the middle of the door is an interesting compromise for obtaining good tonal balance (fig. 1, B).
Mounting advice
An optimum installation is required due to the considerable amounts of energy released by these speaker drivers.
We recommend flush-mounting the speaker drivers to a sturdy MDF support, possibly reinforced using resin,
then screwing them directly onto a metallic part of the vehicle to avoid any unwanted vibrations. The seal with the
support must be perfect to avoid any air leaks from the front or rear of the woofer as this may considerably reduce
performance.
For the best results, we advise applying an insulating material such as “BAM” (fig. 2, D) directly onto the inside of the
door frame, just behind the speaker driver in order to absorb any vibrations. Also ensure that the woofer magnets
do not interfere with any of the vehicle’s mechanical parts. If you’re using grilles (not supplied), check that the space
between the speaker driver and the grille is big enough so that the cone can’t come into contact with the grille.
