Frequently Asked Questions - Vision VE5.2C ESX

How do I adjust the tweeter level on the ESX Vision VE5.2C?

Remove the acrylic glass cover of the crossover with a hex socket screwdriver. Use the jumper to select attenuation: 0 dB (no attenuation), -3 dB, -6 dB, or -9 dB.

What is the correct way to wire the speakers?

Always connect the positive (+) terminal of the amplifier to the positive speaker terminal, and negative (-) to negative. Never connect the speakers to the vehicle ground or body.

Can I use the ESX Vision VE5.2C with any car amplifier?

Yes, as long as the amplifier output is compatible with the speaker's impedance (typically 4 ohms) and power rating. Use an amplifier that delivers between 20-100W RMS per channel for best results.

Where should I mount the tweeter for best sound?

Mount the tweeter as close as possible to the midbass speaker, at the same height and directly across from the opposite tweeter for proper imaging.

What is the power handling of the Vision VE5.2C?

The manual does not specify exact power handling. For safe operation, use an amplifier with 20-100W RMS per channel. Avoid clipping or distortion.

How do I clean the speakers?

Use a soft dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. Keep the speakers dry.

What is the impedance of the ESX Vision VE5.2C?

The impedance is typically 4 ohms for car component speakers. Check with a multimeter if unsure, but this is a standard value.

Does the ESX Vision VE5.2C come with grilles or mounting hardware?

The manual does not list included accessories. Typically, component speakers include mounting brackets and screws. Grilles may need to be purchased separately.

Is the crossover waterproof?

The crossover is not designed to be waterproof. Mount it in a dry location, away from moisture and direct water exposure.

What is the warranty on ESX Vision speakers?

Warranty information is not provided in the manual. Contact Audio Design GmbH or your dealer for details. Most ESX products carry a 1-year warranty.

INSTALLATION NOTES

The first step of installing a speaker system is thorough planning. Choose a suitable location for your speaker components carefully. Follow these suggestions to ensure proper imaging and maximum performance:

1. Choose a location that offers the least amount of obstruction between the components and your ears. Pay also attention to the position of the seats, headrests and other constructional systems in the interior space of the car.
2. Try to mount the speakers on the same arrangement. They should be installed at the same height and directly across from each other. Do not mount one speaker higher, lower, further forward or further backward from the opposite speaker.
3. The tweeter should always be installed as close as possible to the midbass speaker.
4. Always take a look behind the chosen mounting locations to ensure that there is proper clearance for the rearside of the speakers and avoid obstructions such as window tracks, wire harnesses, gas tank etc.
5. Maximum performance is achieved when the speaker is securely mounted to a door panel or rear speaker deck. There should be no gaps between the speaker basket and the mounting surface

IMPORTANT

1. Please handle the components with care, otherwise they will get damaged.

2. Please pay attention to the correct polarity (+ or -) for all terminals and connections.

3. Never connect the speakers to the electrical ground or with the body of the vehicle.
