MTX TXC6.1 - CROSSOVER MOUNTING; WIRING; CROSSOVER CONNECTIONS

CROSSOVER MOUNTING
When choosing the mounting location of the crossover, accessibility is important. Adjustments to the on-/off-
axis setting and tweeter attenuation are to be made after the components have been installed, so convenient
positioning of the crossover is crucial. Also, the crossover has electronic components that must be mounted
so it does not come in contact with moisture.
WIRING
When installing these separates consider the age of the factory wiring and gauge (size) ofwire.lfthe vehicle
is an older model or was pre-wired with small wire (18 gauge or less), running new high performance wire
(http://www.streetwires.com/products/speakerCable/microUitraCable.cfm) win be necessary. The speaker
wire should run from the amplifier's output terminals, under the carpet and through the factory rubber boot
(loom) that protects the wires in the inner door jam. If the factory boot cannot be used, take other measures
to protect these wires as best you can. Sometimes the door has to be completely removed to use the factory
boot. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable doing, please ask a professional to help you. The
wires should originate from the amplifier and attach to the crossover inputs.
CROSSOVER CONNECTIONS
Included with each TXC component system is a 2-way 18dB (tweeter)/12dB (midrange) octave separate
crossover network. The crossover networks allow each driver within the component system to independently
recreate frequencies within a precisely-designed range so that the speakers do not become distorted by
trying to reproduce frequencies that they are not physically able to. This network ensures that the tweeter
does not receive low bass notes and the mid-bass driver does not receive high frequencies. The 18dB
(tweeter)/12dB (mid) octave design complements both the tweeter and mid and provides greater musical
detail.
Note: Pay close anention to the markings on the crossover to be certain the correct speakers are in the
co"ect outlet H a tweeter is accidentally asked to play the frequencies reserved for a mid-bass driver, it
will be damaged
