MOUNTING

Diamond

Audio

coaxial

speakers

are

specifically

designed

for

mounting

in

an

infinite

baffle

application.

For

optimum

performance

it

is

important

to

isolate

the

sound

waves

emanating

from

the

front

of

the

speaker

and

the

sound

waves

emanating

from

the

back

of

the

speaker.

This

is

accomplished

by

mounting

the

speaker

to

a

flat

surface

and

using

of

the

mounting

hardware

provided.

Choosing

a

Mounting

Location

There

are

many

places

where

speakers

will

fit

in

a

vehicle,

but

they're

not

always

the

places

which

yield

the

best

sound

quality

result.

Putting

some

thought

into

the

location

and

mounting

of

your

Diamond

Audio

coaxial

speakers

will

ensure

you

get

the

best

sound

quality

possible.

The

best

sound

will

come

from

speakers

that

have

an

equal

distance

from

their

respective

mounting

locations

and

your

ears.

Door

Mounting

Determine

a

location

in

the

door

that

will

accept

the

size

of

your

new

speaker.

Remove

the

door

panel

from

the

door

and

check

for

clearance

in

the

intended

speaker

location

while

operating

window

all

the

way

up

and

down.

Avoid

cutting

any

structural

metal

to

mount

the

speakers

or

to

accommodate

additional

depth.

If

depth

or

a

flat

surface

mount

are

an

issue,

please

seek

the

skills

of

a

professional

installation

technician.

Additionally,

if

you

are

unsure

about

placement

of

the

speaker

in

a

door

where

a

speaker

was

not

previously

installed,

you

may

consider

seeking

alternative

locations

or

visiting

a

professional

installation

technician.

Rear

Deck

Mounting

If

you

are

mounting

the

speakers

in

the

rear

of

the

vehicle,

there

are

often

two

options

for

achieving

a

good

mount.

Some

speakers

mount

from

the

top

side

(from

the

interior)

while

other

applications

have

the

speakers

mounted

from

the

bottom

side

(from

the

trunk).

In

either

case,

a

flat

mounting

surface

and

a

good

seal

are

still

extremely

important.
