INSTALLATION AND POSITIONING
U s e r M a n u a l

For added performance and to better reduce such unwanted vibrations and any other acoustical
losses, we recommend the use of "Plain Chant". Easily positioned behind the woofer, on the metal
work of the vehicle, "Plain Chant" soaks up vibrations as well as acoustic reflections.
Beforehand always ensure that enough space is available for the magnet assembly so that it
doesn't interfere with safety mechanisms or any other parts.
In the case of not using the grilles supplied, it is important to ensure the speakers fit correctly.
Ensuring there is enough depth behind the speaker has already been explained, but thought must
also be given for the forward movement of the cone and surround assembly.
K2 Power woofer, positioned ideally high in the doors (fig. B, 1), produce optimal midrange
frequencies, thus integrating better into the rest of the system.
The woofers from the K2 Power range can also be placed low in the "kick-panels" (fig. B, 3) of the
vehicle. This is to further optimize the stereophonic staging.
Woofer fixing
Either cut the required hole or use the pre-fitted space. Make sure the diameter is correct.
Where necessary, carefully push in the four fixing clips to fit together with the fixing screws.
Carefully place the fixing ring, ensuring it lines up with the holes or fixing clip positions (fig. D).
Fix the foam gasket to the back of the drive unit chassis. Add a small amount of glue where
necessary so it remains in the correct position (lined up with the holes).
Lower the drive unit above the fixing ring, so it remains in the correct position (lined up with the holes).
Don't forget to connect the cable to the connectors.
Now lower the drive unit and screw in place with the four screws provided.
Add the grille and push in place. Ensure the logo is straight.
Crossover installation
Before you start, it is necessary to remove the clear plastic lid. Doing so enables access for
adjustment, and fixing the unit in place.
Remove it, by pushing gently on the two shortest sides of the clear plastic lid. Then pull off.
Never use a screwdriver to prise off the lid, otherwise damage might occur and will not be covered
by the warranty.
Once removed, fix in place with the 2 screws supplied. Ensure the length of screw is suitable for the
desired location. Always ensure the crossover is installed in a dry, vented and not damp area.
2-Way kits connecting up
Connect the output from the amplifier into the input of the crossover "INPUT".
Connect the woofer to the output of the crossover "WOOFER".
Connect the tweeter to the output of the crossover "TWEETER" (fig. E).
Finally always ensure the tweeter and woofer are connected in phase correctly and the polarities
are respected "+" to "+", and "-" to "-". If not done correctly a "hole" or "peak" may result due
to a shift in phase. This will dramatically impair the overall performance.
