INSTALLING
THE EXC
MIDRANGE-
WOOFER
5
The EXC Midrange/Woofer can be mounted on the front or rear of a panel; gaskets are provided
for both options. The bolt-hole configuration will fit a variety of standard OEM patterns making it
ideal for direct replacement. Best performance is achieved when the speaker is securely mounted
to a door panel or rear deck. There should be no gaps between the speaker and the mounting
surface, as this will impair its low frequency performance. Be certain that both the panel and the
speaker are securely mounted to prevent unwanted vibration.
1. Mark the speaker location by using the template provided.
2. Cut the opening and debur the edges with a file.
3. Hold the speaker in place against the mounting surface and mark the mounting bolt holes.
4. Drill the appropriate size pilot holes for the screws provided.
5. Make all speaker connections prior to mounting the speaker to the panel.
6. Place the Exact woofer into the trim ring, make the speaker wire connections, then install
the speaker/trim ring assembly to the panel using the screws provided. Affix the grille.
7. When routing speaker cables to the driver, it is important to form a drip loop in the cable
below the level of the driver to keep water from reaching it. See Figure 6.
