LIMITED TWO-YEAR CONSUMER WARRANTY Directed Electronics, Inc. (DEI) promises to the original purchaser, to replace this product should it prove to be defective in workmanship or material under normal use, for a period of two years from the date of purchase from the dealer as indicated by the date code marking of the product PROVIDED the product was installed by an authorized Directed dealer.
FEATURES Woofer Crossover Pressed-fiberglass cone for stiffness and low mass. Four-layer voice coil. inductance-optimized Proprietary basket. die-cast High-grade neodymium motor structure. aluminum Tweeter Vapor-laminated titanium diaphragm for extended high-frequency response. Copper-clad aluminum voice coil to reduce mass and increase highfrequency response. Synthetic rubber nitrile edge roll reduces distortion.
SOUND QUALITY Obtaining the highest quality sound reproduction in the mobile environment requires installation techniques and knowledge of vehicle interiors that go far beyond simple replacement of stock speakers. Speaker location, orientation, phasing, and the vehicles interior materials are important considerations when designing and installing an auto sound system.
WOOFER INSTALLATION Review the Installation Precautions section of this guide before proceeding. 1. Place the cutout template against the mounting surface in the desired location for the woofer. 2. Draw the speaker hole and mounting screw locations on the panel with a marker. The 550.2 woofer requires a 4-7/8" hole The 650.2 woofer requires a 5-3/4" hole. 3. Remove the cutout template and carefully cut the speaker hole to the proper size.
TWEETER INSTALLATION Review the Installation Precautions section of this guide before proceeding. Flush Mounting into Removed Panels 1. Determine the tweeter mounting location, then route the wires from the crossover to the tweeter location. 2. Mark the center point of the tweeter location. 3. If using a hole saw, first drill a pilot hole, then cut out the hole using a standard 2-1/8" hole saw. 4.
proper length machine bolt through the center hole of the housing and connect to the spring steel Xbracket. (See Figure 3.) Flush Mounting into Mounted Panels 1. Determine the tweeter mounting location, then route the wires from the crossover to the tweeter location. 6. Connect the speaker wires observing the correct polarity. 2. Mark the center point of the tweeter location. 7. Press the X-bracket portion of the assembly through the hole until its legs spring open. 3.
Tweeter Surface Mounting 1. Determine the tweeter mounting location, then route the wires from the crossover to the tweeter location. 2. Place the surface mount housing against the panel and mark the two holes at the rear of the housing. 3. Drill the smaller center hole using a 1/8" drill bit. This is the mounting screw hole. 4. Drill the larger off-center hole using a 3/8" drill bit, insert a grommet and route the speaker wire from the crossover through the grommet. 5.
housing with the Viper logo at the bottom and turn in a counter clockwise direction until the trim ring clicks into place. Removing Trim Rings Hold the tweeter housing while gently turning the trim ring in a clockwise direction until it releases. The trim ring can then be easily lifted away from the tweeter housing.
Connection/Adjustment Single Amplifier 1. Connect the amplifier channel output to the crossover input connector as shown, carefully observing amplifier output polarity. 2. Connect the tweeter and woofer wires to the output connector as shown, carefully observing speaker polarity. 3. Set the amplifier input switch to the single channel input setting as shown.
Connection/Adjustment Dual Amplifier 1. Connect the amplifier tweeter and woofer channel outputs to the crossover input connector as shown, carefully observing amplifier output polarity. 2. Connect the tweeter and woofer wires to the output connector as shown, carefully observing speaker polarity. 3. Set the amplifier input switch to the dual amplifier setting as shown.
