mportant recommendations
Before attempting any installation work, it is very important to verify how much space is
available to fit the speakers into the vehicle.
Key points:
• For direct replacement of original speakers, please check there is enough space for your
new Focal speakers and grilles.
• Ensure the speaker is clean from debris and metallic particles that maybe attached
(especially after drilling)
• Use the foam gasket supplied (inside the grille), for airtight placement of the speaker into
the panel.
• Do not touch the tweeter cone.
Choice of installation and positioning the tweeter
To achieve best results for your installation, please follow these simple guidelines
• Use a variety of speakers to achieve a large bandwidth, the most central possible.
• Speakers positioned in the most forward location possible, for correct staging
• Tweeters positioned preferably high in the doors or in the dash (if space permitting), to
obtain un-muddled high and midrange frequencies. These being directive to the listener.
• To position the tweeters direct in-line to the listeners ears, for improved imaging.
Preferred woofer and
mid-range positions.

Cables and connections
• For best results with your Access speakers, we recommend you include the use of
Focal cables.
• Alternatively, other high quality cable can be used, if sufficient section thickness is available
(minimum thickness = 1mm ). This is particularly important for long lengths of cable to
ensure a strong efficient signal is maintained.
• Always ensure the polarity is respected, (+ is connected to +) and (- is connected to -).
• Maintain correct connections, from principal source radio / amplifier (left / right / front and
rear), and crossover to speakers (tweeter to tweeter), (mid to mid), (woofer to woofer), is
always observed.
• If the woofer is located at the bottom on the door, connect the woofer directly on the
amplifier in order to have more dynamic midrange.
Fitting the tweeter
There are two mounting possibilities available: surface or
flush mount. To easily install the tweeter, you have to turn
the pod round, then release the tweeter.
Surface mounting (dashboard): choose the angle that
best suits your installation (10° or 30°) and mount the pod
firmly using the screws supplied. Feed the wire through
the hole in the pod and re-fit the tweeter in place.
Flush mounting: cut a neat 45mm diameter hole in the
panel where you want to place the tweeter. Then, insert
the tweeter in the front panel. In the same time, put the
lock washer in the rear panel. Feed the wire through the
hole and push simultaneously on the pod and the washer
to lock the pod on the panel. Feed the wire through the
hole in the pod and re-fit the tweeter in place.

Fitting the crossover
Locate the crossovers in a dry, preferably
ventilated area, using either the screws
supplied or double-sided tape.
To open the box, squeeze the middle on the
side, and remove the cover.
In some cases, depending on your installation
and the space available, it maybe easier to
route the cables and connect to the crossover,
before securing the crossover to the vehicle.
Please check before.
Level adjustment of tweeter and midrange
The toggle switch found inside the crossover, allows the user to adjust the tweeter level.
This user-friendly option allows effective adjustments to be made, to your own personal listening
pleasure, plus optimising the infinite amount of speaker installation locations available.
This allows the system to be “tailor made” to your vehicle, effectively ensuring the best
acoustics are possible. Remember too much treble and your system may sound aggressive,
thus suffer a lose of dynamics, resulting in poor definition.
Level position 0 or -3dB, if the tweeter is located very close to woofer-midrange.
Level position -3 or -6dB, if the tweeter is located high in the vehicle (in the dash or high in the
doors) with the woofer positioned comparatively low.
Level position 0 or -3dB, if the tweeter is located in kick panel.

What is the power for your amplifier?
Access speakers are already highly efficient, with improved sensitivity. Therefore, their use with
a high power head unit will provide comfortable listening pleasure.
However used in a more high-end system, with separate amplification, the audio quality will
be greatly improved. It is very important to know the rated power of the amplifier is suitable for
the speakers used. Otherwise your speakers may distort, or possible damage could occur.
Always consult the owners manual of the principal source (head unit/amplifier), to ensure the
power rating is compatible. A safe guide is to ensure the maximum power of the amplifier is
not greater than the nominal power of the speakers.
nstallation upgrade (with the help of a subwoofer)
If you want your system to have bass, with real punch and power, we recommend the inclusion
of a subwoofer. This will greatly improve your listening pleasure and give your system, some
real physical dimension.
Focal has therefore developed a range of subwoofer drivers and complete subwoofer systems,
to compliment your Access speakers.

Recommandations importantes
Avant tout, vérifiez l’espace disponible pour l’encastrement des haut-parleurs (se reporter aux
plans sur l’emballage) puis procédez aux découpes.
• Dans le cas d’un montage en emplacement d’origine, vérifiez qu’il y ait un espace suffisant
entre le haut-parleur et la grille de protection.
• Tenir les haut-parleurs à l’écart des copeaux métalliques et des poussières. Procédez à un
nettoyage soigneux avant de les monter.
• Utilisez le joint d’étanchéité fourni dans la grille afin d’assurer une étanchéité parfaite.
• Ne touchez pas à la membrane du tweeter.
Choix de l’emplacement et orientation du tweeter
Le résultat optimum sera obtenu en respectant quelques règles simples :
• L’image sonore la plus large et la plus centrée sera obtenue par un écartement maximum des
haut-parleurs et par un positionnement le plus à l’avant possible.
• Les fréquences médiums et aigues seront favorisées par un emplacement en haut de portière
ou sur le tableau de bord, les fréquences graves sont peu directives et ne sont donc pas
déterminantes pour le choix de l’emplacement du haut-parleur.
• L’orientation des tweeters en direction des oreilles de l’auditeur permet d’optimiser l’image
sonore.

Câblage et connexions
Afin de tirer le meilleur parti de vos haut-parleurs Access, nous vous recommandons d'utiliser
des câbles Focal. A défaut, un câble de qualité et de section suffisante (1 mm minimum) est
recommandé, surtout si la distance entre l’amplificateur ou l’autoradio et les haut-parleurs
est importante.
Veillez à respecter la polarité des branchements (+ sur +, etc.) et la convenable orientation
des câbles vers ampli, grave, ou tweeter. Si le woofer est installé au bas d'une portière,
connectez-le directement sur l'autoradio sans passer par le filtre pour récupérer un maximum
d'énergie dans le médium.
nstallation du tweeter
Il existe deux possibilités de montage : montage en
surface et montage encastré. Pour installer le tweeter,
vous devez le sortir de son support : débloquez le support
du tweeter en le faisant pivoter, puis dégagez le tweeter
de son logement.
Montage en surface (tableau de bord) : choisir
l’inclinaison (10° ou 30°), fixer le support à l’aide des vis
fournies, passer les fils puis bloquer le tweeter en faisant
pivoter le support.
Montage encastré : découper un trou de 45 mm de
diamètre, insérer le support et le bloquer contre la paroi
à l’aide de la rondelle crantée. Passer les fils et bloquer le
tweeter en faisant pivoter le support.

Fixation des filtres
Les filtres doivent être fixés (vis fournies ou double
face) dans un endroit sec et aéré de préférence.
Pour ouvrir le boîtier, appuyer suivant les flèches
du schéma ci-contre.
Si les filtres sont peu accessibles, procédez
au câblage et aux réglages avant la fixation
définitive.
Réglage de niveau du tweeter
Le commutateur placé à l’intérieur du filtre permet d’ajuster le niveau du tweeter en fonction
de vos goûts et aussi de l’emplacement des haut-parleurs dans votre habitacle, ceci afin
d’avoir la meilleure restitution sonore possible. Trop de niveau dans l’aigu donne un son
agressif et un manque de niveau altère la définition et la dynamique.
Si le tweeter est installé très près du haut-parleur de grave-médium, le régler sur 0 ou sur -3 dB.
Si le tweeter est installé sur le tableau de bord ou en haut de portière et le woofer dans la portière,
le régler sur -3 ou -6 dB.
Si le tweeter est monté en "kick panel" réglez le niveau sur 0 ou -3 dB.
Réglage de niveau
du tweeter :
-6 dB, -3 dB et 0 dB
