CUSTOM LOCATIONS:
If you will be using the factory speaker wires, it
may be necessary to change the terminations. This
may be accomplished by using an adaptor plug or
simply by cutting the factory connector off and
using the supplied crimp connectors to terminate
the speaker wires.The large connector is for the
positive terminal and the small connector is for the
negative terminal of each woofer. Make sure that
you observe correct polarity in your connections. If
you are unsure about any of these issues, contact
your JL AUDIO dealer for installation assistance.
Your new speakers have been designed to install,
without modifications, into most vehicles that accept
a 6.5-inch (160 mm) speaker. Most factory 6.5-inch
speakers use four mounting screws which will line
up with the mounting holes on your woofers.
Others use a 3-hole mounting system which is
accommodated by a separate set of mounting holes
on the frames of yourTR650-CWi woofers.
It is absolutely vital that the speaker frame fits
into the mounting hole cleanly. This must be
checked prior to tightening the screws. Do not
force the frame into a hole that is too small! Do
not tighten the speaker onto an uneven surface!This
will damage your speakers. The speaker should also
fit so that no air leaks around the mounting flange.
Air leaks will cause a severe degradation in sound
quality. Seal any air leaks with silicone, rope caulk or
similar sealant material.
Install as shown in the diagram here.
Use the supplied mounting clips unless the
factory holes already feature threaded inserts.
Hand-tighten the screws evenly to avoid bending
the speaker frame!
Run speaker wire to the desired mounting
location. If you are running wires into a door, use
existing factory wiring boots whenever possible. If
you are drilling new holes, file their edges and install
rubber grommets into each hole. Then, cover the
wires with a protective PVC sleeve and run them
through the door jamb. Make sure that the wires
will clear door hinges and other structures in the
door. If you are unsure about any part of this
process, please contact your JL AUDIO dealer for
installation help.

Double check the clearance for both speakers
before proceeding.
Use the supplied template on the top of the
product packaging to mark the desired mounting
location. Mark the center and the outline of the
mounting hole as well as the mounting screw
positions. Before drilling or cutting, use a utility knife
to cut any fabric, vinyl or leather from hole
locations. These materials can easily be snagged by
a drill or a saw, causing damage to the panel and
possible bodily injury.
Drill four 1/8" (3 mm) holes for the speaker’s
mounting screws at the positions you have marked.
Also drill a pilot hole in the center of the speaker
mounting hole at this time. Then, using a saber saw,
hole saw or nibbler, make the circular cut out for
the speaker. File any rough edges.
Break off small pieces of the supplied butyl
adhesive putty and place them on the inside of each
grille tray. This adhesive will hold the grille in place
firmly and prevent rattling. Then insert the metal
grille into the grille tray, squeezing gently around its
edge until it seats firmly into the tray.
Insert the mounting clips with the flat side
towards the speaker as shown in the diagram.

TWEETER INSTALLATION:
SURFACE MOUNT INSTALLATION:
1) Remove the vehicle panel and check to
ensure that the mounting screws will have
adequate clearance.
2) Place the surface-mount fixture on the vehicle
panel at the desired mounting location and mark
the location of the two mounting screw holes and
the approximate center of one of the two
rectangular cutouts (for the wires).
3) Using a 1/16-inch (1.5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole
through the panel at the two screw locations.
4) Using a 1/2-inch (12 mm) drill bit, drill the
hole for the tweeter’s wires at the location you
marked in step 2.
5) Screw the surface mount fixture to the vehicle
panel using the supplied #6 sheet metal screws
(hand-tighten).
6) Feed the tweeter wires through the
rectangular hole in the mounting fixture and the
1/2-inch hole you drilled in the panel.Then, snap the
tweeter into the surface mount fixture.
7) Connect the tweeter’s wires to the supplied
harness with the in-line high-pass filter.
8) Re-install the vehicle panel, taking care to
route the new wiring so as not to interfere with any
vehicle mechanisms(window mechanisms,
for example).
FLUSH MOUNT INSTALLATION:
1) Remove the vehicle panel and check to
ensure that there is at least 3/4 inch (19mm)
clearance behind the panel for the tweeter’s
magnet structure.
2) Carefully cut a 1 9/16-inch (40 mm) diameter
hole in the vehicle panel.This will achieve a snug fit
and allow the tweeter flange to conceal the cut line.
3) Insert the tweeter from the front of the panel
(do not attach the spring clip at this time).
4) Attach the spring clip from behind the panel
using the supplied 1/4 inch (6 mm) machine screw.
5)Tighten the screw by hand until the tweeter is
tight on the panel. Do not overtighten.
6) Connect the tweeter’s wires to the supplied
harness with the in-line high-pass filter.
7) Re-install the vehicle panel, taking care to
route the new wiring so as not to interfere with
any vehicle mechanisms(window mechanisms,
for example).
The dome tweeters supplied with your
TR650-CSi system have been designed for surface
or flush mounting. Before choosing a method,
carefully inspect the desired mounting location to
determine which method will work best.
1) Flush Mounting will yield a custom-installed
appearance, but will require at least 3/4-inch
(19 mm) of clearance behind the mounting
surface of the tweeter.
2) Surface Mounting, using the supplied surface
mount kit and hardware requires the drilling of
three holes (one for the wires and two for the
mounting screws).This application is useful when
mounting the tweeters to a panel that has
insufficient clearance behind it for the tweeter’s
magnet structure.
TWEETER CONNECTIONS:
Run the supplied wiring harness with the in-line
filter from the extra tabs on the component
woofer to the tweeter mounting location.Then
connect this harness to the wires attached to the
tweeters, observing correct polarity. In some
cases, it may be easier to run the tweeter wires
directly to the amplifier output, instead of
connecting them to the component woofer
terminals.This is functionally identical to the first
method (it is a simple, parallel connection).
