Welcome
Thank you for buying a DLS Ultimate speaker.
This manual will show you how to do a correct installation. Please
read the entire manual before beginning the installation. Install
the speakers yourself if you feel confident with our instructions
and if you have the proper tools. The ULTIMATE speakers are
our best speaker line but a poor installation job can destroy the
final result even from these speakers. So if you feel unsure,
turn over the installation job to someone better suited to it.
Installation
The speakers should be installed high up in the door side or in
the dashboard. These speakers doesn’t require any box.
When the midrange is mounted high up on the dashboard the
mid level creates a frequency peak in some vehicles. If so use
the low ”mid level” in the filter box. If the level is still too high,
connect a 3-5 ohm resistor in series with the + feed. We
recommend you to install them in a strong baffle of MDF-
board or similar. A strong baffle will improve the sound quality.
If you don’t have the possibility of doing strong baffles you
must use the steel rings coming with the drivers to improve
the stability of the mounting.
Wiring
Use high quality speaker cables like DLS HQS or similar.
Avoid using the factory pre-installed cabling, they will not give
the sound reproduction that you should expect from these
high class speakers.
Make sure the cables don’t get jammed causing a short circuit
to ground. This can damage the output circuits of your head
unit or amplifier.
Connect the cables with correct polarity to the speakers.
Observe the markings on the terminals. The red marked
terminal is plus and the black is minus.

Break-in period
Allow the speakers to play at normal volume for at least 15-20
hours. After this time the performance is correct.

Crossover
The speakers must be used with either a passive or an active
filter in a 3-way configuration. If you can’t use active filters you
can build your own passive filter like in this example. It is a 6/6
dB slope band pass filter ~500 - 4500 Hz
This rather simple passive filter can be used for UP2.5 / UR2.5.
Iridium 3 should only be used in active crossover mode. Use
polypropylene capacitor and low-resistance air coil. The resistor
is used to adjust the level. The 4,7 omhs is a standard value
but you must find a resistor value that matches the sensitivity
of the other speakers in your system. In some configurations
you don’t have to use a resistor at all.
