POWERBASS AUTOSOUND L COMPONENT FEATURES

Stamped Basket (Black Powder Finish): These rigid baskets are designed to give a precise motor

alignment and the corrosion free platform that they need to perform for even the most discriminating

listener.

Advanced Injection Zirconium Polypropylene Z2 Cone: The high-grade cones on these speakers are injec-

tion molded Zirconium coated polypropylene for additional damping. This results in an extremely lightweight

cone that is resistant to environmental elements while remaining exceptionally stability for impeccable sound

quality.

High Damping Butyl Rubber Surround: This surround is used to ensure linear travel throughout the

entire frequency range resulting in more bass output and higher efﬁciency while reducing distortion.

Aluminum Hard Dome Tweeter: Aluminum dome tweeters deliver sharp clarity and crisp treble re-

production. By incorporating a neodymium motor structure and edge wound ribbon wire voice coil these

tweeters can handle high power with low distortion.

High Power, Multi-Layer Kapton 3-ohm Voice Coil: Kapton is a high temperature voice coil former

that is light weight and designed for greater efﬁciency and increased power handling that gives you that

loud and clear sound that you are listening for.

Deluxe Computer Optimized Crossover Network: The asymmetrical crossovers included were

designed using a sophisticated computer program known as LEAP and provide a smooth, ﬂat frequency

transition between the midrange and tweeter. Each 12db 2-way crossover features high quality air and

iron core inductors plus parallel stacked high stability metal ﬁlm capacitors to insure audiophile sound

separation.

Tweeter Mounting Kit: Flush, surface and angle-mounting cups allows multiple mounting options for

custom tailored high frequency dispersion.

INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE

Installation of PowerBass Autosound Speakers requires experience with a variety of mechanical and elec-

trical procedures.This manual only provides general installation and operation instructions. If you have any

reservations about your installation skills or lack of the proper tools, please contact your local PowerBass

Autosound dealer for assistance.

TIPS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR POWERBASS

SYSTEM

Your PowerBass Autosound speakers have been meticulous engineered and designed to handle high

power musical reproduction. Despite their rugged construction, it is possible to damage your speaker if

they are improperly used. In general, you will hear distortion as a so-called warning before any damage

occurs. If you hear distortion in your system, immediately reduce the musical level to the point where

the sound retains its clarity.

1. Be sure you supply the speakers with enough unclipped ampliﬁer power to drive them properly.

(More damage can be done to a speaker by under-powering and clipping your ampliﬁer than

any other way!)

2. Where possible, a separate ampliﬁer just for your speaker should be used with an electronic cross-

over to set the frequency range. One ampliﬁer with passive crossovers will work (Tri-Way Setup), but the

system will do more with less stress on the ampliﬁer by using two amps.

3. To avoid any possible sound cancellation from the front of the speaker to that of the rear of the speak-

er, cut a panel of Masonite or MDF to ﬁrmly mount the speaker if the vehicle’s original cutout is too big.

4. When connecting speaker wires from the ampliﬁer or head unit to that of the speaker itself, pay atten-

tion to the polarity of the connection. This will insure optimum sound reproduction and performance.

5. For maximum dynamic performance use weather stripping to insure a tight seal.

6. Do not mount any speakers or external crossovers where they will get wet.

7. Remember the Golden Rule “Measure twice…cut once.”

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

NOTE: The tools listed below may be required for proper installation.

• An electric drill with drill bits

• Phillips-head and standard screwdrivers

• Wire strippers

• Crimping tool and needle-nose pliers

• Silicone sealant or closed cell weather-stripping

•Metal ﬁle

•Hole saw

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

NOTE: Proceed only if you are a qualiﬁed installer otherwise; let your dealer do it.

• Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.

• Turn off all stereo and other electrical devices before you begin.

• Disconnect the (-) negative lead from your vehicle’s battery.

• Keep the speakers in the package until nal installation.

• Locate all fuel lines, brake lines, oil lines, and electrical cables when planning your installation.

• Check to see if there is enough clearance behind the mounting surface before installing the speakers.

• When running speaker wires through sheet metal, be sure to use grommets to properly insulate the

wires from metal edges.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

• Since these speakers utilize a unique low prole tweeter housing that has minimal tweeter protrusion,

original factory mounting cutouts can still be used with the factory grills in many cases.

• These PowerBass Autosound speakers can be used above or below the mounting hole. Typically, your

vehicle factory’s speaker cutouts will accommodate these new speakers without any modiﬁcations. When

the speaker has been correctly installed, there should be no air leaks between the front and back of the

speaker.

• For door installations, check the clearance of the windows throughout the entire range of the window’s

travel.

• Mount your speakers securely! If the speaker has four or more mounting holes, it is best to use all of

them.

• Check the available mounting depth before installing the speaker. Use care when removing factory

grills, door panels and factory speakers.

COMPONENT SYSTEM INSTALLATION

Component Midrange

The proper installation procedure for mounting these high performance mid-range speakers is to secure

the speaker to the vehicle’s speaker mounting hole. Once the speaker is in place, determine if the sup-

plied grill needs to be installed. If so, place the grill in place over the speaker and screw the speaker into

the mounting hole.

Component Tweeter

These high quality tweeters come complete with several mounting housings for installation versatility.

Once you have chosen the housing that is to be used, gently press the tweeter into the proper mounting

cup. Experiment with the tweeter positioned in several locations to determine the best imaging result

before cutting out any panel. Typically tweeters should be mounted on axis and as close to ear level as

possible. If the tweeter has to be removed from the mounting cup, insert a small screwdriver in the back

of the tweeter and carefully push the tweeter from the mounting cup.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

By mounting the tweeter separately from the woofer (or mid-range driver) the installer can choose the best

location for sound quality and imaging. Three mounting types are possible allowing more versatility for the

tweeter location. These are ﬂush mount, surface mount, and angle mount.

Flush Mounting (Type A)

The best location for the tweeter is usually high up on the door and as far forward as possible without

interference from the dashboard. If the desired location is ﬂat and space behind the door panel allows the

use of the ﬂush mount housing, follow the drawing as shown below:

After checking for clearance, cut the mounting hole in the door panel (see Tweeter Speciﬁcations for hole

size). Mount the Flat Base from the outside with the mounting clip on the inside of the door panel. Secure

the mounting clip to the Flat Base with the long silver screw provided.

Surface/Angle Mounting (Type B and C)

If mounting the tweeter on the surface works out best, refer to the following drawing to see how to best

mount the tweeter. Black sheet metal screws have been provided to attach the surface base to the door

panel.

AUTOSOUND COMPONENT TWEETERS

These high quality tweeters come complete with several mounting housings for installation versatility.

Typically tweeters should be mounted on axis and as close to ear level as possible. After you have chosen

the housing to be used, gently press the tweeter in the proper mounting base. Once the tweeter base is

mounted, push and “twist” the housing until it locks to the base. Below are exploded views showing the

possible types of tweeter mounting.

CROSSOVER NETWORK INSTALLATION AND WIRING

Your PowerBass Autosound Component system contains two separate 2-way crossover networks. When

choosing a location to mount the crossovers, keep in mind they contain electronic parts which can be

damaged by moisture and dirt.

Correct wiring of the crossover is critical to avoid damage to the speakers and ensure true high ﬁdelity

sound. Pay close attention to the markings on the crossover to be certain the correct speakers are in the

correct outlets as follows:

1) Connect the ampliﬁer or head unit output to the crossover’s INPUT terminals.

2) Connect the terminals labeled WOOFER to the component midrange speaker.

3) Connect the terminals labeled TWEETER to the component tweeter set.

CAUTION: Care must be taken when adjusting the screws on the input terminals that fasten the speaker

wires to the crossover network. Make sure each connection is secure without over tightening. Use of

power tools to tighten these screws is not recommended as they can strip the screws and permanently

damage the input terminals.
