MOUNTING THE MID/WOOFERS
Remove the factory grilles of the door - or if necessary - the complete door panels. The
13 / 16.5 cm EURO-DIN frame mid/woofer units provide bolt and screw holes to t a great
variety of OEM standard patterns, making them ideal for a direct replacement of factory
installed speakers in European or Asian cars.
n Remove the factory installed mid/woofers or fullrange speakers. Before you attempt
to install the new AXTON mid/woofers, you must check the available installation depth
of the left and right front door. To do this, slide down both windows and hold the AXTON
mid/woofers in place to reassure the available installation depth does sufce. This test is
important, failure to do this may let you end up with an impaired window function!
n Look out for a good location to mount the crossovers. Consider that the x-overs should
remain accessible for adjustments after the installation of the speakers is completed.
Potential places to mount your x-overs are under the dashboard, inside the doors,
a.s.o.
n Connect the corresponding speaker wires to the blade connectorterminals of the mid /
woofer units. Route these wires to the location, that was chosen to install the crossovers
later on.
n Check that there are no gaps between the speakers and the mounting surface in the
doors. Note that some (newer) cars will require the use of car-specic mounting adapters
made of pastic material. Without them, the Euro-DIN mid/woofers will not t to the OEM
cutout, or the available installation depth will not be sufcient. Such adapters are usually
available from your authorized AXTON dealer.
n The cone and surround material of the mid/woofers is 100% water proof. However a
direct exposure of the mid/woofer to water inside the doors should be avoided. In most
cases, protection foils are pre-installed to protect the OEM full-range speaker. Do not rip
this foil out of the doors, it is there for a purpose!
n Fix the mid/woofer to the speaker mounting hole using the provided screws. If the mid/
woofers are directly screwed onto the sheetmetal of the door, use the metal clips included
with the mounting hardware. You can now reinstall the factory plastic grilles, but make
sure the surrounds of the mid/woofers do not come in touch with plastic parts standing
off on the backside of the grilles.
n In case you have chosen a new location for your mid/woofers (other than factory
cut-out), use the speaker protection grilles. Just mount them on top of the mid/woofers.
