INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the world's finest brand of car audio speakers.
We have invested tremendous effort in the design process of the new Velocity speaker series, in order to achie-
ve superior musical performance. For maximum performance and reliability we highly recommend that your new
Velocity speakers be installed by an authorized Velocity dealer.

KEY COMPONENT FEATURES
The Velocity ProComponent sets offer tremendous performance because of well thought out designs focusing
on performance and ease of installation. Key feature include:
• High power handling and low distortion for the woofer due to the Extended Pole design.
• High power handling for the "Polyfoam" tweeter through the use of Neodymium magnets and a circuit brea-
ker type "poly-switch" that open the circuit to the tweeter, if overdriven
• Reinforced Polypropylen woofer cones to maintain rigidity and resistance to moisture
• Butyl rubber soround for great cone excursions at low frequencies
• Clear, clean high frequency response and transparency with "Polyfoam" dome tweeter
• Easy installation of woofers with car specific design
• 12/12 dB/octave linear phase crossovers with high frequency adjust of level and crossover frequency
• High efficiency
• Speaker and crossover terminals with screw connectors
• The extended pole design offers a longer symmetrical magnetic field compared to a conventional flush type
pole.
EXTENDED POLE DESIGN
In a conventional flush type pole piece the asymmetrical flux distribution through the voice coil prevents linear
motion throughout the voice coil travel.
The EXP design creates a symmetric magnetic field resulting in longer linear travel of the voice coil which yields
lower distortion. Also, there is additional control at the excursion limits thus offering higher power handling. The
music can now play louder, longer, and with less risk in burning out your woofers.
Safty Considerations
Before starting to mount your speaker, read the mounting and connection instructions carefully. Discon
nect the vehicle battery's negative terminal before making connections.Be sure to observe the safcty
notes of the aotomobile manufacturer (airbags, alarm sx stems, onboard computers, immobilisers). Befo
re drilling holes, look to see what is on the other side- making holes into the battery, wiring looms or fuse
box is not recommended.
SOUND QUALITY VS. LOUDNESS
SOUND QUALITY
A good audio system will faithfully reproduce the original recording by offering accurate frequency response and
staging. Good frequency response reproduces high tones such as cymbals, through human voices and most
instruments, and down to the very low tones from synthesisers and drums. Frequency response includes timbre
(the accurate replication of an instrument), linearity (the tonal quality is the same regardless of volume level),
and clarity (lack of distortion of the original signal). Velocity speakers address these properties by having a very
smooth frequency response with low distortion levels.
Good staging offers the illusion of a stage upon which players are located and it has a sense of height, width,
and depth. Imaging is a sound system's ability to correctly place the instruments on the imaginary stage. Again,
the Velocity speakers excel here due to angled tweeter mounting and smooth off-axis frequency response ensu-
ring accurate reproduction.
MULTI-CHANNEL/HIGH POWER
Moving up to a 4x50 watt satellite channel amplifier powering four sets of components and a 2x100 watt sub-
woofer amplifier powering a Velocity subwoofer can offer stunning performance!
The increase in amplifier power help reduce "clipping" which yields a "cracking" type of sound which can damage
nearly any speaker over time. The tonal accuracy of the system is also often improved because the amplifiers
are no longer strained at high listening levels.
