User manual DLS IRIDIUM 6.3

[. . . ] Install the speakers yourself if you feel confident with our instructions and if you have the proper tools. The ULTIMATE Iridium speakers are our best speaker line but a poor installation job can destroy the final result even from these speakers. So if you feel unsure, turn over the installation job to someone better suited to it. Iridium 6. 2 Iridium 8. 2 Iridium 6. 3 Iridium 8. 3 Iridium 3 TWO-WAY SYSTEMS Iridium 6. 2 & 8. 2 These 2-way systems have a separate UR1 tweeter. The filters are combined lowpass and highpass in a plastic box with selectable tweeter level inside. [. . . ] Wiring: Use high quality speaker cables. Avoid using the factory pre-installed cabling, they will not give the sound reproduction that you should expect from the Iridium speakers. The DLS SCP cable is a perfect allround cable for all kind of speakers. Make sure the cables don´t get jammed causing a short circuit to ground. This can damage the output circuits of your head unit or amplifier. The sealing strip coming with the bass drivers should be used for improved sealing between the bass element and the mounting surface. The tweeter installation is described on page 3, or in the instruction sheet coming with the tweeter. THREE-WAY SYSTEMS Iridium 6. 3 & 8. 3 These 3-way systems have separate UR1 tweeter and Iridium 3, 3" midrange. The filter components are mounted in two plastic boxes with selectable tweeter and midrange level inside. There is one box for the midrange driver and another box for bass and tweeter. On the following pages you can see how to connect the filters. The filters must be used, if you connect without them the sound becomes bad and you will destroy the tweeter. You don´t have to use the passive crossover if the system is connected to separate amplifiers and an active crossover.
