CAUTION

Always consider consulting a professional audio installer before installing

new speakers. Many car manufacturers locate speakers behind interior

panels that require special tools to remove those panels to access the

speakers. Some panels will be screwed in, some will use plastic fasteners,

many will have both. Be careful and take your time.

If you are using the speaker wire supplied with your new speakers make sure

that you run the speaker wires through the factory boot. Do not let speaker

wire make contact with metal edges of doors or other access holes.

CONGRATULATIONS

By purchasing the QSE-216 2-Way Component System you have chosen

an excellent MB Quart product.

Q is the perfect example of the technical achievements that can be made in

the area of in-car loudspeakers by means of intensive research. Q is more than

a philosophy, since Q enables perfect sound reproduction in conjunction with

conveniently compact dimensions. Q can be installed quickly and easily, since

every detail of the system has been designed with functionality in mind.

Most modern vehicles have speakers that are mounted directly to the

structure of the door. Access is achieved by the removal of the door

panel. Some vehicles may only require the removal of a small panel

around the speaker itself.

Once the factory speakers are

removed, check the t and

determine if there is enough

depth clearance for the new

speaker. A good way to do this is

to roll the window down and back

up while holding the speaker in

place. If you decide to run wires,

make sure to use factory harness

boots and grommets where ever

possible.

Factory speaker removal

It’s a good idea to conrm that you have purchased the correct size

speakers to t your vehicle. If you have any reservations about being

able to complete the installation yourself, we recommend contacting a

professional. The removal of interior panels can be tricky and may require

special tools. Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle battery

during the installation, in order to avoid possible short-circuits.

Be careful as you go.

General

Vehicles that have premium

sound systems will often

have separate tweeters in

a dash or door location.

Try to use this location for

mounting the component

tweeter if possible.

If there is not a suitable factory

location for woofer or tweeter to

be mounted, custom mounting

may be necessary. Use provided

templates for mounting. Before

making any permanent changes

to your vehicle make sure there is

adequate mounting depth.

There are three primary ways the tweeter can be mounted. Surface Flush,

and Oblique mounting. Make sure to check for any obstructions before

cutting into any panel.

The QSE-216 2-Way crossover network included in your Q speaker set

is equipped with individually selected sound frequency components, gold

connection terminals and gold terminal jumpers, together with reinforced

conductor tracks with 140 copper plating. In addition, it uses our new

Balanced Temperature Technology which, in combination with the cast

aluminium baseplate, means that the temperature variations between

the different components therefore work at the same, exactly pre-dened

temperature.

Your QSE crossover nectwork is also equipped with a special tweeter

protection, which prevents damage to the tweeter voice coil. The various

different connections and setting variants offer all the conditions required

for the optimal adjustment of the speakers to the vehicle acoustics and to

your individual listening preferences.

The crossover is necessary for the

proper operation of the component

speaker system. Make sure the wires

are securely attached and that there

are no stray strands of wire contacting

other terminals. Mount the crossover

to a secure surface that is free of

interference from window mechanisms

and excessive moisture.

Leaving the jumper connected between tweeter negative and A provides

a boost in the upper midrange, between 3kHz and 8kHz. The Negative

tweeter wire needs to be connected on the jumper.
