CAR AUDIO SPEAKERS
WELCOME
Thank you for buying a DLS ULTIMATE UP-series
speaker.
This manual will show you how to do a correct installa-
tion. Please read the entire manual before beginning the
installation. Install the speakers yourself if you feel
confident with our instructions and if you have the proper
tools. The ULTIMATE 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.
INSTALLATION
Speaker drivers:
Mount the bass speakers in the door sides of your car.
Normally they will fit in the facory pre-made mounting
holes. If you want an improved sound reinforce with a
baffle of MDF-board or similar. For baffle installation se
our advice ion next page. An installation high up on the
door side is to be prefered. An alternative installation is
in kick panels down on each side of the floor with the
speakers facing up- and inwards towards the listener.
The tweeter can be installed recessed in the door or A-
pillar.
It is important to fasten the speakers properly in order to
avoid bad sound or rattling.
Filter boxes:
It´s vital that the filter boxes are attached properly to the
interior of the vehicle to avoid rattling. Don´t place them
close to the internal wiring of the car, this can cause
interference.
Avoid to install filter boxes in the door sides because
they can easily be broken because of rattling or
moisture.
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 these high
class speakers. The DLS SC or SCP cable is a perfect
allround cables 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 tweeter installation is described on next page.

THREE-WAY SYSTEM
This 3-way systems have separate UP1i tweeter and
UP2,5i midrange. The filter components are mounted in a
plastic box with selectable tweeter and midrange level in-
side.
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.
RUNNING-IN PERIOD
Allow the speakers to play for at least 15-20 hours. After
this time the performance is correct.
CONNECTION OF SPEAKERS
Make sure you connect the cables
with correct polarity to the speakers.
Observe the markings on the
terminal. The small terminal is
minus.
SPEAKER PHASING
To be sure to have the correct speaker polarity (phase) you can
check this by using a 1,5 Volt battery.
Connect a cable from the battery plus-pole to the speaker plus,
and a cable from the battery minus to the speaker minus.
If the speakers are correctly connected the speaker cone should
move outwards on both right and left channel.
This check must be made on the cables going from the speakers,
to the output terminals of your car stereo or amplifier.
