a/d/s/ 245ix - Manual (Page 10)

Check the intended installation site to be sure
that there is sufficient depth behind the
mounting surface for the rear cup and
mounting screws. The minimum depth required
behind the back of the mounting surface is 1"
(25 mm). The front cup mounts into the
mounting through a 1-7/8" (48 mm) diameter
hole. Be careful that the hole does not exceed
2-1/8" (55 mm) diameter at any point so that
the rim of the cup will completely cover the
edge of the hole.
Use the template provided to locate the hole
centers. Cut carpeting or fabric away from the
hole locations to prevent tangling of fibers in
the saw blade.
Insert the two M4-0.7 X 4-1/2 cm (1.77 inches) flat head metal screws through the mounting holes and
just start the threads into the metal mounting bracket. With the metal bracket attached to the mounting
cup slide one end of the metal bracket and then the other end into the mounting hole. Hold the mounting
cup in its final position and tighten, but do not over tighten the two mounting screws.
NOTE: The mounting cup is also supplied with an angled surface mounting cup (not shown). This allows
the tweeter to be mounted at an optimum acoustic angle for the listener. Follow the same procedure as
above to mount and assemble the tweeter in this housing.
Tweeter mounting
Route the wire from the crossover locations to the tweeter locations. Pull the wire through the mounting
cup and attach crossover wires to the wires from the tweeters. Connect the positive wire to the positive
(+) terminal of the tweeter, which is marked with the white trace. Ensure the tweeter connection spade
lugs are wrapped with electrical tape or covered with heat shrink tubing. See the information in the
speaker wiring section of this manual and the wiring diagrams. Push the wire back into the area behind
the installation location and be sure it will not interfere with the speaker or with anything behind the
mounting panel. To attach the tweeter to the surface or flush mount assembly, align the tabs in the
mounting cup with the relieved areas in the tweeter mount and twist the tweeter counterclockwise until
locked in position.
