INSTALLATION
Tweeter Installation
When flush or surface mounting tweeters, make sure the desired location can accommodate the hole sizes and depth required. The tweeter can also be surface mounted atop the dash, door, or rear deck. Mount cup using the provided hardware, flush mount illustration shown below. The flush mount bezel requires cutting a 1.75 (45mm) round opening. Be sure there is AT LEAST 1 INCH (25.4mm) behind the panel so the tweeter has adequate clearance. Remember when using a hole saw the thickness of the saw teeth will add to the cut diameter. Mount the surface cup at the desired angle with provided screws in the tweeter mounting kit. Route speaker wires through tweeter cup, connect the tweeter to wires, and snap the tweeter into the cup by aligning the notches in the tweeter cup with the notches in the tweeter base. Be careful not to push on the center of the tweeter grill.
Crossover Installation
Install in a well ventilated area whenever possible. If you must install the passive crossovers in the doors due to the use of factory wiring. As you “feed” into the door cavity, ensure that the crossover is installed behind the door panel instead of inside the door itself. This will offer the greatest capacity for avoiding any water damage caused by rain or moisture. Also avoid placing it near factory wiring looms to ensure no radiated noise problems. Connect the input side labeled “AMP” of each passive crossover to the amplifier’s speaker output terminals. Be sure to observe correct polarity for positive and negative terminals. Next, connect the middle terminals labeled “MID” to the midrange speaker. Be sure that the wiring is protected all the way to the terminal and that the wires are secure at both the speaker and passive crossover. Finally, connect the end terminals on the far right hand side labeled “TWT” to the tweeter. Be careful to observe the correct polarity when connecting the tweeter to its lead wires as these are smaller gauge and require care and patience to connect correctly.
Installing the Speakers
Your new Cerwin Vega Mobile series speakers were designed with the flexibility to be installed in multiple locations. However, to ensure the best performance possible, it is important to isolate the front sound waves of the speaker from its rear sound waves. This is done by securely mounting the speaker to a flat surface known as a baffle. Make sure to seal the speaker to ensure there are no air leaks around its frame.
Rear Deck Mounting
There are two primary methods for mounting speakers in the rear deck of a vehicle, top and bottom mounting. Top mounting requires dropping the speakers in through the deck (interior) while bottom mounting secures the speakers from underneath (trunk). Either method requires a good seal around the frame for the best performance.

FAQs
The XED62 speakers have a 4 ohm impedance. Despite not being mentioned in the specifications or on the internet, the box is quite obviously marked as such.
Actually, the mid-high assembly is about 11mm, or slightly under 7/16in, higher than the top of the hard plastic spacer ring that encircles the speaker.
Coaxial loudspeakers in professional audio enable sound from two drivers to come from a single source. This characteristic allows for a wider field of listening to a synchronized summation of speaker drivers than loudspeaker enclosures with physically isolated drivers.
Coaxial cables are fairly common and can be found in most homes today. They can be utilized for the transmission of audio and video signals, as well as speaker cables, TV antennas, modems, cable boxes, and cable.
Coaxial speakers are frequently referred to as “full-range” speakers because they can reproduce a larger range of audio frequencies from a single speaker. Despite being merged to save space and money, the drivers in these speakers are the same as those in component speakers.
If your car’s audio system employs coaxial speakers, you typically don’t require a second crossover. Passive crossovers found in full-range speakers already filter the frequencies before they reach each driver. Even if you add an amplifier, the built-in speaker crossovers should be more than adequate.
Your car radio may power coaxial and component speakers without the use of an amplifier. To get the most out of your speakers, an amp will allow you to receive a lot cleaner sound without distortion, a greater volume, and power for a subwoofer.
Coaxial speakers are a great choice if you’re looking for an all-in-one, affordable solution. However, they often have poorer sound quality than component speakers since the tweeter and woofer are frequently not as well-matched as individual units.
The red (or positive) connector on the speaker must receive the core conductor wire. Put the other end of the cable in your hands and connect it to the receiver or amplifier’s port with the same colour.
Even though it is true that a speaker’s suspension will loosen with time, there is no need to play a speaker at half power or low volumes for an extended period of time in order to facilitate or ease into this.
Simply described, a coaxial speaker combines a woofer and a tweeter into one unit. The three-way version includes an additional midrange driver. The tweeter and midrange speaker are mounted on a pole that extends to the centre of the speaker. They now have a tiny package with access to the complete audio spectrum.
Contrary to component speakers, which must mount everything separately due to their compartmentalized architecture, coaxial speakers can have a whole 2-way system in only one installation. Coaxial speakers are still reasonably priced due to how easy they are to install. This is also made possible by the labor and time savings throughout the process.
Compared to coaxial speakers, the sound generated by component speakers is significantly cleaner, more flexible, and frequently louder.
a loudspeaker with the high-frequency reproducer positioned between the low-frequency reproducer and along its axis (like the high-frequency horn in a paper cone speaker)
Coaxial speakers are 2-way speakers that share the same “axis,” or a number of speakers combined into a single speaker system. For superior sound quality than a normal single cone speaker, most coaxial speakers contain a separate tweeter with a crossover and a separate woofer cone.
Coaxial speakers are frequently found at the back of vehicles.
