DLS UP5 Manuals

ULTIMATE SERIES CAR AUDIO SPEAKERS WELCOME Thank you for buying a DLS ULTIMATE 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 Mount the speakers in the door or in the dashboard 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. An installation high up on the door side is to be prefered. An alternative in- stallation is in so called kick panels down on each side of the floor with the speakers facing up- and inwards towards the listener. For two- or three way speaker systems with separate tweeter an installation of the tweeter close to the bass/ mid element is to be prefered. The tweeter can also be installed on the dash-board, or recessed in the door with the accessories in the tweeter box. It is important to fasten the speakers properly in order to avoid bad sound or rattling. For speakers with separate filters in boxes or similar it is vital that they 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. Make sure the cables don´t get jammed causing a short circuit to ground. This can damage the output circuits of the head unit or amplifier. The sealing strip coming with some of the kits can be used for improved sealing between the bass element and the mounting surface. The tweeter installation for kits with separate tweeter is described on last page, or in the instruction sheet coming with the tweeters. SPEAKER ENCLOSURES If you want to install the speaker in an enclosure the nor- mal size for a closed box is: 5,25” (13 cm) speakers : 6-8 liters 6,5” (16,5 cm) speakers : 10-12 liters 8” (20 cm) speakers : 15-20 liters These volumes are only a guideline. The volumes can vary between different speakers. Contact your local DLS dealer for more exact information about your specific speaker.
