HOW TO SET UP

The first step is to remove the door trims by unscrewing all visible screws as well as those hidden under the plastic panels. Remove the door now. Remove the old wire as well as the crossover. Connect the crossover’s input to the factory speaker wire, then split the high and low signals between the woofer and the tweeter. Mark out the screw position, rack out the cordless, and drill the holes after lining up the speaker where it will sit in the door. The next step is to use cable ties to tidy up the wiring so there is no irritating rattling from inside the door. Then connect everything and replace the door in its original location.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How excellent is Skar’s audio quality?
  Excellent speakers, especially considering the price. Amazing speakers. They have fantastic crisp highs and midst, as well as incredible bass for their size, and they go pretty low for 6.5s. I have two of these in the back of my Del Sol, as well as two infinity thin 6.5s in the doors, and it sounds like I have a little subwoofer.
• What is the lifespan of Skar SUBS?
  In a daily driven vehicle, we find that it takes around a week of consistent music listening. You can re-tune your system to the original setting after the initial 24 to 36 hours.
• Do shallow-mount subwoofers have a nice sound?
  The sound quality of a shallow mount subwoofer is generally inferior to that of a larger subwoofer. On a shallow mount subwoofer, you’ll have a hard time getting the same bass and low end frequencies in as clear and loud a manner as you would with another sort.
• Is it true that shallow subs are just as wonderful as regular subs?
  Shallow mount subs are generally lighter and thus more portable. They’re better for cars because they won’t clog up your rear speaker deck if you decide to put one in there. Regular subs are less ideal for automobile audio due to their bulkiness.
• Is it better to use a 2ohm or 4ohm resistor?
  A lower electrical resistance subwoofer generates a louder sound than a higher electrical resistance subwoofer, hence 2ohm subwoofers are louder than 4ohm subwoofers. Due to their higher power consumption, 2 ohm subwoofers are more likely to generate inferior sound quality.
• How long does it take for Skar subs to break in?
  In a daily driven vehicle, we find that it takes around a week of consistent music listening. You can retune your system to its original setting after the initial 24 to 36 hours. Your subwoofer(s) have now been broken in and are ready to use.
• Is it necessary to break in subwoofers before using them?
  Subwoofers require some break-in time to get their best sound quality. A subwoofer might take anything from 20 to 100 hours to break in. If you don’t want to deal with this, you can go for a factory-installed system.
• What is the difference between a shallow mount subwoofer and a deep mount subwoofer?
  When selecting a subwoofer, the style of mounting is an important factor to consider: shallow or standard. Regular installations tilt the woofer for improved sound projection and power output, while shallow mounts conserve space and allow for more bass speaker placements.
• What is the optimal ohm for bass?
  The 4 Ohm is the preferable alternative if you want a smooth time while bumping to your tunes. If you want your music to be loud, the 2 Ohm sound system is the way to go. A reduced impedance indicates that the resistance is low, and that the power emitted is a direct reflection of the power provided to it.
• Which is better: a single voice coil subwoofer or a twin voice coil subwoofer?
  The subwoofer’s performance, frequency response, or power rating are unaffected by voice coil changes. A twin voice coil sub does not necessarily perform better than a single voice coil sub.

HOW TO SET UP

First, you have to locate all the screws and all the bolts under the door of your car. Remove them all with the help of a screwdriver and get all the plastic parts out. Unplug all the wires. Once all the pins are removed, grab the door and pull it out carefully. Put aside the door panel. Remove all the screws from the speaker and pull out the speaker. Now grab the speaker wire as much as you want. Grab your speaker and hook it up with some speaker wire. Strip the wire at the end and connect it to the positive and negative sides. Connect the tweeters and the speaker through the speaker wires.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do tweeters improve sound?
  Tweeters produce detailed and crisp sounds that add dynamic range to complete sound systems. Your car speakers would only be able to produce undetailed or bland music without many of the auditory aspects that make it worthy of listening to in the first place.
• What size tweeters are best?
  Neither bigger tweeters nor small ones are better. The tweeter size depends upon one area: if they will fit in to the car or not. Larger tweeter can be a bit louder so the smaller tweeters might be slightly better because they produce high frequencies with more accuracy.
• How do I choose a good tweeter?
  If you are searching for a tweeter to use in your car then it is best to search for the one that has an impedance matching the speakers and can handle high power levels. Tweeters with low impedance ratings may be distorted or dimmed if connected into low-impedance speaker systems.
• What kind of tweeters should I get?
  If you like your highs bright, loud and crisp, metal tweeters may be an option for you. Aluminum is the most frequent. It is strong, light and produces a bright sound at high frequencies. It is a good choice when you want to make sure that the highs cut through road noise and big bass.
• Are tweeters worth installing?
  Tweeters allow you to get the highs that get highly distorted/drowned out by all that bass. If you have none, and a system this much powerful, it would be a great idea to get a pair.
• Where is the best place to put tweeters in a car?
  The best place to put the tweeters is at the dashboard of your car, facing towards the center of the driver seat and the passenger seat. It aids to make the sound of both tweeters reach the ears of the user at the mean time providing a blissful experience.
• What should tweeters sound like?
  A tweeter should not sound still. It should sound rather crisp, clean no chopping, no overhang, raspy tst tst.  It should sound as if you are afraid in the dark and you stopped to hear if someone is going to get you. It seems that is when you pay attention to your hearing the most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Skar speakers need to break in?
We find that it is generally about a week of regular music listening in vehicle that is driven daily. After those beginning 24 to 36 hours, you can re-tune your system backup to the original setting. Your subwoofer is now broken in and prepared.

What is better 2ohm or 4ohm?
A subwoofer with a short electrical resistance produces a louder sound than one with a high electrical resistance which implies that 2ohm subwoofers are somewhat louder than 4ohm ones. Although they are louder but the 2ohm subwoofers due to its power consumption, are also more likely to produce a poorer quality of sound.

How long does it take to break in a subwoofer?
Subwoofers require a break-in period to reach their optimum sound quality. It takes approximately 20 to 100 hours to break in a subwoofer. You can also opt for a system that was broken in at the factory if you do not want to deal with this.

Do Skar amps have fuses?
Skar Audio contains a wide range for their amp lineup and in most cases, the user is going to require an ANL style fuse to use in-line with their power wire to protect the amplifier.

What happens if you don’t break in subwoofer?
If you do not break them in, you take the risk that you will damage the important components of the woofer including the spider, surround and the cone. You also take chance of burning the coil.

How do you know when your subs are broken in?
After the subwoofer is broken-in properly, you will observe that it plays deeper, with increased output and more dynamic range.

Why is my amp getting hot and shutting off?
There are many different reasons for the amplifier to get hot and shut down such as poor power or ground connections, punch/gain Bass control settings too high, too low an impedance, or grounded/blown speakers.

Do subwoofers get louder as they break-in?
Subwoofers should not get louder after they are broken in. rather, they will adjust to the differing frequencies provided and will most functionally play the sounds that are coming through.

Do Subs smell when breaking in?
It is common for the subwoofers to smell after they break in for the first time. This is due to the reason that the glue requires time to burn off so this should vanish in a few days or if you have been using it for a while.
