Practical help
Common problems
Distorted sound or poor high-frequency response
Verify that the crossover module (J) is correctly connected and that the wiring polarity (+/-) is consistent.
Tweeter does not fit in the mounting location
Ensure you are using the correct mounting adapter (F) or housing (B/C) for your specific installation method.
Before use
- Verify all parts (A-J) are present in the box.
- Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clear of obstructions.
- Check that your amplifier is stable at 3.0 ohms impedance.
- Confirm wiring polarity (+/-) before making final connections.
- Ensure the crossover module is securely mounted.
Specs in practice
- Power Handling
- 50W RMS / 150W peak power capacity; do not exceed these limits to prevent damage.
- Frequency Response
- 3kHz to 20kHz range, defining the high-frequency sounds the tweeter reproduces.
- Nominal Impedance
- 3.0 ohms; ensure your amplifier is compatible with this load.
