TWEETER MOUNTING  
MID RANGE MOUNTING  
For the best imaging and soundstage, the tweeter should be placed as close as  
possible to the midrange driver. This process will help when the final tuning is  
completed. When positioning the tweeter for the best imaging, aim the passenger  
side tweeter toward where the driver’s head will be. The same process should also  
be completed on the driver’s side tweeter but this time you’ll aim the tweeter toward  
where the passenger’s head will be. Positioning the tweeters in this manner will help  
to set up a very solid soundstage.  
To get the best possible music reproduction, it is important to isolate the sound that  
is produced from the rear of the speaker from the sound that is produced from the  
front of the speaker. To isolate the front from the back wave, make sure the speaker is  
mounted in a baffle or plate, so that the back of the speaker is in a sealed chamber.  
Surface Mounting  
• Select mounting location. Mark wire hole and screw locations using the surface  
cup as a template.  
• Drill holes for tweeter wires and mounting screws  
• Using the supplied screws, attach the surface cup to surface  
• Run tweeter wires through the hole and twist the tweeter into the cup  
• Connect the tweeter wires to the supplied crossover  
*
Mounting  
• Select the mounting location (door panels, rear side panels, rear deck, etc...)  
• Using the supplied templates, mark the mounting holes on the door panel or rear  
deck.  
• Drill or cut the required holes as needed.  
• Install the units as illustrated in the diagrams.

*Note: The TX6001 Thunder Axe Separates are supplied with mounting adapter  
plates. The adapters are used to convert the smaller basket sizes needed for  
European models to the larger domestic sizes. The plates will allow a tight and  
accurate fit, decreasing the need to fabricate adapters out of MDF or plastic.  
Flush and Angle Mounting  
• Select mounting location and mark a 1-7/8” diameter hole with supplied template  
• Cut out the 1-7/8” hole (a hole saw is recommended for metal and hard plastic  
surfaces; an X-acto knife for any other surface  
• Place the supplied bevel headed screws through the flush/angle cup and thread into  
the mounting clip, but do not tighten  
Take the assembled flush/angle cup and mounting clip and place them into the  
1-7/8” diameter hole, making sure the mounting clip goes completely through  
the hole  
• Tighten the screw in the base of the flush cup until the cup is completely tight  
• Split tweeter wires and run through the hole and twist the tweeter into the cup  
CROSSOVER MOUNTING  
When choosing a location to mount the crossover, accessibility is important.  
Adjustment will need to be made like tweeter attenuation. Keep in mind the cross-  
over has electronic components inside, and must be mounted so that no moisture  
can make contact.  
WIRING  
Two things to take into consideration when installing these separates is the age of  
the factory wiring and gauge (size) of wire. If the vehicle is an older model or was  
pre-wired with small wire (18 gauge or less), running new high performance wire  
necessary. The speaker wire should run from the amplifier’s output terminals, under  
the carpet and through the factory rubber boot (loom) that protects the wires in the  
inner door jam. If the factory boot cannot be used, take other measures to protect  
these wires as best you can. Sometimes the door has to be completely removed  
to use the factory boot. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable doing,  
please ask a professional to help you. The wires should originate from the amplifier  
and attach to the crossover inputs.  
CROSSOVER CONNECTIONS  
Each TX speaker system has a 2-way 18dB/6dB oct separate crossover network. The  
crossover networks allow the drivers to recreate the frequencies within a precisely  
designed range so that the speakers do not become distorted by trying to reproduce  
frequencies that they are physically unable to reproduce. This feature ensures that  
the tweeter does not receive low bass notes and the mid bass driver doesn’t receive  
high frequencies. The 18dB (tweeter)/6dB (mid) oct means the slope, or the amount  
of other frequencies that will be affected, is fairly narrow. This design complements  
both the tweeter and mid and provides greater musical detail. Pay close attention to  
the markings on the crossover to be certain the correct speakers are in the correct  
outlet. If a tweeter is accidentally asked to play the frequencies reserved for a  
mid-bass driver, it will be damaged.

CROSSOVER CONNECTIONS FOR TX1000  
Separate 1-way 18dB/oct crossovers are included with the TX1000 tweeters, which  
allows the drivers to recreate the frequencies within a precisely designed range. This  
ensures that the speakers do not become distorted by trying to reproduce frequencies  
that they are physically unable to reproduce. The 18dB/oct means the slope, or how  
many other frequencies will be affected, is fairly narrow. This design complements  
both the tweeter and mid-bass to provide greater musical detail.

TWEETER ATTENUATION ADJUSTMENT  
WARRANTY STATEMENT  
When setting the attenuation of your tweeter, take into account the distance between  
the listener and the tweeter, and your own personal preferences. The attenuation  
levels range is 0 and -3dB, 0 dB is generally used for those who are further away and  
-3dB for the listener who is closer to the tweeter. If you have the attenuation set at  
0dB and the speakers seem too bright, adjust the jumper downward until it matches  
your personal taste.
