Make sure to pay attention to the instructions when you see this symbol:
Do not expose the wiring to your new speaker to excessive damp or moisture.
If the speaker’s wiring is exposed it might result in electric failure, shock or
damage to the product. Servicing is required when the product has been
damaged in any way and/or doesn’t operate normally. Refer all servicing to

and always use high quality cables and accessories. Even if you’re eager to put
the speakers to use – take no shortcuts when installing the cables, make sure
that all connectors are protected and secured.
Do not drill any holes without checking what lies beneath, and don’t cut
anything without making sure that no important components risk being
damaged.

INSTALL TWEETER
The PT3-254 tweeters also include crossovers. The crossover should be wired
between a midrange woofer and the tweeter, or an amplifier and the tweeter. It
makes sure that the tweeter plays on the right part of the LOUD spectrum.
Before installing your brand new tweeters, make sure you have everything you
need. Have the right tools ready, and make sure you have the know- how/skills to
perform the installation properly. Preparation and knowledge is crucial!
It is important to
know the limits of
your amplifier. Be sure
to connect your sound
system with a suitable
impedance to optimize
your sound system.
