User manual POLK AUDIO EX3560

[. . . ] We do not recommend placing the crossover inside of door panels due to the increased potential for water damage and interference with internal door and window mechanisms. To install the Crossover, squeeze the terminal end of the "hood" and lift it up (like a classic sports car hood, natch) to expose the mounting screw holes [figure 2]. Use the included crossover mounting screws to secure the crossover in your chosen location. You may want to mark the holes with an indelible ink marker and pre-drill your screw holes for easy installation. [. . . ] 2. ) Connect the wires provided with your tweeters to the tweeter terminals on your EX3 Crossovers [figure 3]. 3. ) Without actually running the wires through doors or under upholstered panels, connect up your EX3500 Tweeters. 4. ) Mount the tweeters in a temporary location (where you think you'd like to install them) with tape. 5. ) Have your friend sit in the passenger-side seat while you sit in the driver's seat. 6. ) Now, with familiar music playing (we recommend music with vocals for this test), both you and your friend should position the tweeters in different locations around the passenger compartment, listening for resulting sound differences. Listen to the tweeter with the Elliptical Lens on it, and ALSO listen to it with just the Grille on it. If you're planning a surface installation, try this with both the Straight Surface Mount Cup and the Angled Surface Mount Cup. Rotate the Angled Surface Mount Cup in conjunction with the Elliptical Lens to help get the most desirable radiation pattern. In a short time, you should be able to determine the best location for your tweeters. 7. ) Mark the location, and move on to Step 2 and choose your mounting option. The EX3500 Tweeter offers two optional "high frequency directors" to give you even more control over your sound and to help you get better sound in difficult placements: an Elliptical Lens and an Angled Surface Mount Cup. What a deal. ) Use the Elliptical Lens to focus the high frequencies in your system for better imaging and directionality [figure 5]. When you're doing the Tweeter Location Test (above), tape the Elliptical Lens in place on either the Straight or Angled Surface Mount Cup to help find the direction best suited to your system. When you find the perfect spot, simply snap the Elliptical Lens onto the tweeter. Use the Angled Surface Mount Cup to help you get the most desirable radiation pattern.

Use the Angled Surface Mount Cup to help direct the sound in conjunction with the Elliptical Lens. 1. ) Using the base of the surface mount cup as a template, mark the two screw holes and drill them using a 1/8" drill bit. Drill a third hole (for the speaker wire) using a 3/16" drill bit. Use the Angled Surface Mount Cup (b) to better aim the tweeter for more directionality and better imaging. The Elliptical Lens (see "3") DOES NOT ROTATE once it's snapped onto the Mounting Cup. Use the Mounting Cups and the Elliptical Lens in conjunction to determine best placement and sound. 2. Snap the Tweeter Assembly into place within the Mounting Cup. 3. [. . . ] Products replaced or repaired under this Warranty will be returned to you, within a reasonable time, freight prepaid.
