Ryval ®Speakers
Component System Owner’s Manual
BASIC INSTALLATION
Selecting the placement of your new Ryval Coaxial speakers could be as easy as using the existing factory locations or may
require you to create a new location. Speaker placement in the door, dash, or rear deck is the most common. See your local
Phoenix Gold Dealer for additional location and mounting assistance.
DOORS /REAR DECK
1.
Many vehicles already have factory locations (Figure 1.) to house the “DROP IN” feature of the Ryval Coaxial line. If
no existing locations are available or are not used, check the desired location for adequate cutout area and any depth
obstructions. Make sure to allow suffi cient clearance for window tracks, structural braces, trunk lid springs, etc.
2. Assuming enough area and depth is available, use the provided template and trace the speaker cutout and mounting
holes onto the surface of the mounting location.
3. If the mounting surface is not structurally strong enough to accommodate screws, (i.e. plastic, cardboard) use the pro
vided speed clips which will act as a nut for the supplied screws.
4. Always provide water protection if not supplied in the vehicle. We suggest using a rain shield or equivalent. If in doubt,
please contact your Phoenix Gold Dealer.
SPEAKER INSTALLATION WITHOUT GRILL
When installing your new coaxial speakers in the factory locations there may not be room enough to use the provided Ryval grills.
Don’t worry; these speakers perform just as well behind the factory grill.
SPEAKER INSTALLATION WITH GRILL
For more custom applications, or cases where the factory grill will not be used, a high excursion protective grill has been pro-
vided. Please read the section above on installation for concerns about custom installations.
TWEETER ADJUSTMENT
The 20mm tweeters can pivot in their housing. When mounted low in the door, angle the tweeter up for better high frequency
performance. In rear deck or dashboard installations, angle the tweeter away from the rear glass to reduce destructive refl ections.
CROSSOVER HOOKUP
The crossover provided with the Ryval component set is optimized to give the most accurate in-car response. Use only the cross-
over provided; the use of any other crossover may result in damage to one or more of the Ryval series components.
The basic component system hookup requires signal, via speaker wire, to run from your power amplifi er (not included in this set)
to each of the two crossovers that come with your Ryval component system, designate one for the left channel and one for the
right. Connect that signal to the signal input on the crossover. From there connect, your component woofer and tweeters to the
corresponding crossover using the correct polarity. (+ to +, - to -)
