What wiring precautions should I take?

Ensure the audio system is off before connecting. Protect wires from sharp edges and use rubber grommets when passing through metal. Connect positive to positive and negative to negative for proper phasing. Secure all terminals from touching the chassis or each other to avoid damage.

Does the Z46CX come with speaker wire?

The manual notes that speaker wire included is only for connecting the tweeter to the speaker. Additional wiring is required to connect the speaker to the audio source or amplifier.

Phoenix Gold provides a 1-year limited warranty from the original purchase date for defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is valid only for the original purchaser from an authorized US dealer. International customers should contact their local reseller.

Can I drill mounting holes with the speaker in place?

No. Drilling with the speaker installed can allow metal shavings to damage the voice coil and void the warranty. Always drill the pilot holes before inserting the speaker.

What type of tweeter does the Z46CX use?

It uses a ferrofluid-filled tweeter. Ferrofluid enhances thermal contact for better reliability and provides optimum damping for the voice coil.
