The soundstage is the musical "picture" made up of the instruments and vocalists. The difference in the soundstage will be dramatic depending on where you mount your tweeters. We recommend a simple experiment that will help you decide the best spot for your tweeters in your car. Mark the center of the hole and cut a 2. 1 inch hole with razor knife or reciprocating saw. dX Series 10 Premium Performance Loudspeakers Premium Performance Loudspeakers 11 4.

For example, if you are not getting sound from the left channel speaker, connect the right channel speaker to the left output.

Should you isolate the problem to the speaker, contact the authorized Polk Audio dealer where you made your purchase. [. . . ]
