CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.

PRACTICE SAFE SOUND™

Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100dB may cause permanent hearing loss. High powered auto sound systems may produce sound pressure levels well over 130dB. Use common sense and practice safe sound.

CARTON CONTENTS

• (I) Set PI Series Speakers with Tweeters or PIT-S Tweeter System with Crossover
  (1) Set of grilles/trim rings
• Mounting Hardware and Tweeter Surface, Angle, and Flush Mounts

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install these speakers.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your speakers in place.

4. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.

5. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle. If installation in a boat, take care not to cut or drill through the main hull.

6. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle or hull area provides the best protection.
7. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.

MOUNTING

1. Determine where the speakers will be mounted. Ensure an area large enough for the speaker to mount evenly. Be sure that the mounting location is deep enough for the speaker to fit; if mounting in a door, operate all functions (windows, locks, etc.) through their entire operating range to ensure there is no obstruction.
2. Refer to the specification chart to determine the proper diameter hole to cut for your speaker model. The template provided also gives the proper cutout size.
3. Mark the locations for the mounting screws. Drill the holes with a 1/8" bit.
4. Feed the speaker wires through the cutout and connect to the speaker terminals. Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the wires. The speaker's positive terminal is indicated with a "+"
5. On models with slotted holes, fit the speaker into the cutout and install the screws in the slots at the top and bottom. This will allow you to rotate the speaker to match the remaining mounting holes. When aligned, tighten the screws.
6. Tighten the screws until the speaker is snug in place to prevent rattling. Do not over tighten the screws.

NOTE: If needed use the adapter plate provided to mount the speaker. See Adapter Plate Templates at the end of this manual.

FEATURES

Discreet Dual Clamp (DDC™) Tweeter Mount

Every aspect of the new Tweeter design has been completely re-engineered to allow for maximum ease of installation and fitment. This optimized patent pending design provides concentric clamping pressure around the perimeter of the mounting hole.

The "mounting cups" are in fact not "cups" at all, but rather unobtrusive "clamps" that quickly and easily mount in a standard 1.75 inch (45mm) hole saw opening with a single center screw securing with balanced pressure to both faces of the mounting surface. From there, the tweeter simply snaps into place and is secured by a snap-on trim ring. Removal is easy if needed. The protective grille on the tweeter is non-removable and an integral part of the design.

ICC (Integrated Concealed Crossover)

For the P152-S and P1652-S, the crossover is integrated into the basket of the mid-bass driver. This component grade crossover allows for easy connection of the full component system without the need for an external crossover. Just connect the wires from the tweeter to the TWT terminals at the speaker, see below.

WIRING

P1T-S Crossover Wiring

I. Use illustration for proper connection.
2. Be sure to maintain speaker polarity.
3. Connecting the positive wire to 0dB matches the amplitude of the tweeter to the speaker.
4. Connecting the positive wire to -2dB or -4dB reduces the amplitude of the tweeter -2dB or -4dB lower than the midrange, (ideal for tweeters located high in door panels and midranges located low in the kick panel).
