Frequently Asked Questions - GTi5.2C Crunch

What is the difference between RMS and peak power for the GTi5.2C?

RMS (Root Mean Square) power is the continuous power handling capability, while peak power is the maximum short-term power. For the GTi5.2C, RMS is 100 watts and peak is 200 watts. Always match the amplifier's RMS output to the speaker's RMS rating for best performance and longevity.

Can I use the GTi5.2C with a factory stereo?

Yes, this component speaker is designed to work with factory stereos, but for optimal sound quality, it is recommended to use an external amplifier. The sensitivity of 91 dB makes it efficient enough to produce reasonable volume with low-power head units.

What is the mounting depth of the GTi5.2C?

The mounting depth is 1.9 inches (48 mm), which allows it to fit in most factory door locations without requiring spacers. However, we recommend checking your vehicle's clearance before installation.

Does the GTi5.2C come with a grille?

No, the GTi5.2C is typically sold as a component set without grilles. Grilles can be purchased separately if needed. The speakers are designed for behind-door panel installation or custom enclosures.

What is the recommended crossover frequency?

The included passive crossover typically has a fixed crossover point around 3 kHz, optimized for the 5.25" woofer and silk dome tweeter. For active setups, set the high-pass filter at 80 Hz for the woofer and 3 kHz for the tweeter.

Are the GTi5.2C speakers weatherproof?

No, these speakers are designed for interior use only. Exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures may damage the cone, surround, or electronics. Install in a dry, protected location.

Can I use the GTi5.2C as a coaxial speaker?

No, this is a component speaker system with separate woofer, tweeter, and crossover. It cannot be used as a coaxial (single driver) speaker. Component speakers generally offer better sound staging and imaging.

What wire gauge should I use for installation?

Use 16-gauge (1.5 mm²) speaker wire for runs up to 20 feet. For longer runs, use 14-gauge wire to minimize resistance. Ensure connections are secure and polarity is correct for optimal phase response.

How do I clean the GTi5.2C speakers?

Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the cone and rubber surround. Do not use any chemicals, abrasives, or excessive water. Avoid touching the tweeter dome to prevent damage.

What is the warranty on the GTi5.2C?

The Crunch GTi5.2C typically comes with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. For warranty claims, contact your retailer or Crunch customer support with proof of purchase.

INSTALLATION DER LAUTSPRECHER

The first step of installing a speaker system is a well-thought-out planning. Choose a suitable location for your speaker components carefully. Please observe the following suggestions to ensure proper results and best performance:

1. Choose a location which offers none or just a minimum of obstacles between the components and your ears. Please observe at thereto, the positions of the driver's seat, the headrests and other constructions of the inside of vehicle interior.
2. Mount the left and right speakers in the same array on each side, which means that they are installed at the same height and directly across from each other. Do not install one speaker higher, lower, further forward or further back from the opposite speaker.
3. Always check what's behind the chosen mounting locations to ensure that there is proper clearance for the back of the speaker components and avoid obstructions such as window tracks, wire harnesses, gas tank etc.
4. The best performance will be achieved, when the speakers are securely mounted to a designated speaker opening in a door panel or a rear speaker shelf. There should be no gaps between the speaker basket and the mounting surface.

ENGLISH

MIDRANGE WOOFER INTERCONNECTION

• Connect the positive terminals (+") and the negative terminals (-") of the midrange woofers with the according terminals "WF" of the crossover.
• Use for the interconnection the supplied cables with jacks.

TWEETER INTERCONNECTION

- Connect the positive connectors (+") and the negative connectors (−") of the tweeters with the according terminals "TW" of the crossover.

CROSSOVER INTERCONNECTION

• Connect the positive terminals (+") and the negative terminals (-") of the amplifier speaker outputs with the according terminals "IN" of the crossover.
• Use for the interconnection the supplied cables.

Repeat all three steps for the channel pair on the opposite side of the vehicle.

TWEETER LEVEL ADJUSTMENT OF THE CROSSOVER

The GTi crossovers offer the opportunity to match the tweeter level of the loudspeaker system with the characteristics of the interior environment and the complete soundsystem. Please remove carefully the cover of the crossover housing.

To adjust the tweeter level change the jumper by changing its position like following:

POS. 1 left: 0dB higher level POS. 2 center: -3dB" mid level POS. 3 right: -6dB lower level

INSTALLATION OF THE CROSSOVER

Under specific circumstances it will be necessary to mount the crossover to the vehicle. The mouting holes sit on the left and right. Use appropriate screws, depending on the surface, where the housing will be installed on.
