INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
The Directed SX series neodymium sepa-
rates are designed for installation into
factory speaker locations, custom
mounting enclosures or any flat mounting
surface inside the vehicle. The following
precautions and instructions cover the
basic and most common types of installa-
tion.
Check behind panels for clearance of
metal brackets, hoses, and wire
harnesses before making any cuts.
When mounting speakers into doors,
roll the window up and down to
check clearance of the glass and
window regulator.
Make sure the mounting holes are
the correct size for the speaker.
Undersized holes can cause speaker
distortion or shorting of the speaker
leads to the chassis ground. Over-
sized holes will not allow the
mounting screws to make sufficient
contact with the panel, allowing the
speaker to become loose.
Always protect the wires when
routing by avoiding sharp metal
edges, moving parts such as heater
or vent controls, clutch pedals, brake
pedals, steering columns, and power
window motors and gears.
When routing wires through metal
panels and doorjambs always use
vinyl tubing and grommets for
protection and a professional-looking
installation.
