The first step of a successful install is to choose the best mounting locations for the tweeters and
mid/woofers . Usually, cars come with factory speaker openings for mid/woofers, and the ECP-S6
sets are designed to fit a great variety of Euro-DIN bolt-hole patterns and cutouts . If you can not
mount the mid/woofers to an existing factory cutout, the alternative is to buy a set of car specific
speaker mounting adapters or a doorboard, to provide a stable platform for the ECP-S6 mid/
woofer mounting . In such a case, we recommend that you consult your authorized EMPHASER
dealer to ask for assistance .

The tweeter mounting location inside the car exhibits a distinct influence on the front staging and
tonality of the component system, overriding the system inherent sound quality . Depending on the
chosen location for tweeter mounting, the front staging is going to differ . Note that the tweeter level
can be attenuated by a slide switch on the crossover’s pcb bord, enabling you to tailor the treble
response for different mounting locations .
Aim for a tweeter location as unobstructed and as high as possible – highly recommended places are
the center of the A-pillars, the window triangles or else always as much up and in front as possible .
attention:
The main radiation axis of both tweeters should cross at a virtual point approx . in the center bet-
ween and in front of passenger and driver’s seat . A direct “on-axis” installation of the tweeters, with
aim at the listener, is not recommended . The result of tweeters firing too much in direction of the
listerner is called “side-biasing” . The sound seems to originate from the door(s) instead of playing
in the center of the dash board!
