Practical help
Common problems
Distorted sound at high volumes
Ensure the amplifier or head unit is not exceeding the 60W RMS power handling limit of the speaker.
Lack of high-frequency detail
Check the tweeter level switch on the speaker frame and ensure it is set to the +3dB position if more treble is desired.
Before use
- Verify the mounting location fits the 160mm (6-1/2 inch) speaker size.
- Ensure the vehicle's audio system is compatible with 3.0 ohm impedance speakers.
- Check that all necessary mounting hardware (screws, clips, brackets) is present.
- Disconnect the vehicle battery before beginning the installation process.
Specs in practice
- Power Handling (60W RMS)
- The continuous power the speaker can handle without damage. Avoid exceeding this limit.
- Nominal Impedance (3.0 ohms)
- The electrical resistance of the speaker. Ensure your amplifier is stable at this impedance.
- Sensitivity (93dB)
- Indicates how efficiently the speaker converts power into sound; higher numbers mean louder output with less power.
