Tweeter installation
The TN 47 tweeter has been designed for flush mounting or surface mounting positioning, using
the two fixing kits provided. The choice of install position is extremely important to deliver the best
performance and to maintain integration into the system. This is a major factor for high frequency
SPL, and stability of the acoustics, stereophonic imaging, and overall staging. Please check the
drawing to understand this further.
The standard recommendation for an ideal stereo system is to ensure the tweeters "left" and "right"
are installed in the same positions. Also they are approximately at equal distance to the driver
(vice-versa for the passenger). The various positions advised should be verified and comparisons
made, for ideal positioning.
The tweeter should always be positioned ahead of the normal listening position. The main
preferences are the ends of the dashboard (fig. A, 1), close to the windshield (fig. A, 2). Normally
easy for installation. The location close to the door mirror (fig. A, 3) is also regarded as a good
position, and normally only a light installation is required. Last, another position, high in the doors
(fig. A, 4) is also acceptable even if it is not considered as the best for optimised staging. It is
imperative to check before any installation is attempted, that enough space is available (especially
for flush-mounting applications). Also make sure that there will be no interference with security
devices air-bags, door latches etc.
Tweeter installation
• Surface-mounting
The flush-mounting fixing kit supplied offers two possibilities for installing the TN47 in an angle of
10°/30°. This allows more flexibility for the installation (fig. C, 1).
Fix the assembly using the two screws provided. Thread the cable from the tweeter, through the back.
Then decide the defined angle and lock in place on the support.
• Flush-mounting (highly recommended)
Cut a perfectly round hole of 45mm (1.77"). Push in the support and ensure it remains flat on the
surface. Ensure it is locked in place with the screws supplied. Thread the cable from the tweeter,
through the back. Then decide the defined angle and lock the tweeter in place on the support. To
lock in place, insert the key provided, and turn until locked securely (fig. C, 2).
Woofer installation
• Recommendations
K2 Power woofers have been designed for a multitude of vehicles installations. It is worth
understanding the basic requirements for installing such products. These woofers are capable of
delivering enormous amounts of energy, during their positive / negative movement.
Therefore, it is imperative that they are fixed securely to the desired location. The fixing location
should also be strengthened where necessary.
Panels should be strengthened to eliminate any unwanted vibrations. Such vibrations will drastically
reduce the overall performance. These drive units should be fixed and sealed to the baffle or
location panel. The use of the foam gasket is advisable for correct air sealing.
