Your new HEX Series® system is comprised of loudspeakers and crossovers that have been precision engineered to produce the highest quality audio system for your vehicle. Since 1995, DAT has been dedicated to excellence in sound reproduction technology. Our products represent the latest advances in material science, adhesives and manufacturing proccesses. As new materials are developed, we constantly evaluate their application to the loudspeaker realm. Only those items that have exceptional merit will find their way into a Diamond product. We strive to bring honesty, value and excellent quality to all of the products we offer. By your purchase of this component set, you have joined that fraternity (or sorority) of discriminating listeners who demand only the best. Welcome to the club. Please keep in mind that prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels in excess of 100dB can cause permanent hearing loss. This high performance speaker system can exceed this level. Please exercise restraint in its operation in order to preserve your ability to enjoy its fidelity for years to come. Sincerely, Diamond Audio Technology, Inc. Rikki Farr Chairman, CEO Before you begin Make sure you have all the needed parts to complete the installation: (2) HEXS.0ta or S.0ts Tweeters (2) HEX S4.0m, S5.0m or S6.0m Midrange/Midbass/Woofer Drivers (2) HEX S4.0x, S5.0x or S6.0x Computer Optimized Crossovers (2) HEX Grilles w/ Mounting Rings (2) Mounting Gasket Sets (1) Tweeter Mounting Kit (2) Driver Mounting Kits Some considerations am I proficient with hand tools? am I willing to learn via *M.I.T. vocational training? should I void my 3-year warranty for a 1-year if it is not am I qualified to pr operly installed by an authorized DAT dealer!? am properly adjust and tw eak a world class ted cr ossov ers? tweak class,, highly sophistica sophisticated crossov ossovers? ers? do I need to remove the entire door panel to finish this job? am I really prepared to put a hole in my door panel? do I have the tools and the skill? If not, you should have this system professionally installed by your authorized Diamond Audio Dealer. *(Mistakes Ive Tried) Basic tools #0/1, #2 Phillips screwdriver Electric drill and 1/8 (3mm) bit 2 (50mm) hole saw Wire strippers/cutters Metal cutting tool Metal file Safety glasses Installation THIS MANUAL ASSUMES THAT THE INSTALLER HAS SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE INSTALLING HIGH PERFORMANCE SEPARATE COMPONENT MOBILE SPEAKER SYSTEMS! 1.) Install the HEX midrange/ midbass/woofer drivers. (refer to Mounting ) 2.) Install the crossovers. Make sure you have enough wire to reach all the drivers from the intended mounting location(s). 3.) Install the HEX tweeters. Try listening to the tweeters in several positions to get the best imaging results BEFORE YOU CUT YOUR PANELS! Remember: the best visual location may not be the best sounding one. Listen to the system with the tweeter connected in-phase (+ to +) and reversed (+ to ) before making a final selection. Mounting Speed Clips Grille Ring Gasket Split Crossover Cover Midbass/ Woofer Screws Spring Clip Grille Mounting Cup Crossover Tweeter Check your available mounting depth before installing your HEX components. Use extreme care when removing factory speakers, grilles and/or door panels. Be sure to install the supplied foam gaskets on the drivers to insure a good seal for maximum dynamic range. Turn Clockwise to tighten setscrew. The terminals on the HEX drivers feature a new recessed mechanism to allow direct connection of the speaker cable up to 12 guage (2.5mm²). Simply strip the end of the cable to 5/16 (8mm) DO NOT SOLDER, insert into terminal and tighten down using a #0/1 Philips-head screwdriver. This allows for a very clean attach without exposing the terminals to automotive metalwork. Speaker cable strip guage. Strip end of wire to match illustration. 8mm *Up to 12AWG (2x2.5mm²) speaker wire. Turn Counterclockwise to loosen setscrew. Installation Close-up of crossover input/output terminals. Note polarity when attaching speaker/amplifier wiring. In- In+ W- W+ T- T+ R- R+ Connections should first be made with the rear cover removed to allow for adjustment of the crossover settings. The tweeter level has jumper positions for +2dB, 0dB and -2dB attenuation. When you have chosen the final settings, replace the rear cover section and tighten the two holddown screws. The following diagram shows the basic installation for the HEX 2-way systems. This basic layout is the starter for many show winning audio systems. The computer-optimized crossovers implement a Second-Order Linkwitz-Riley aligned filter, Zobel correction and Peak indication. To begin, (1) connect the amplifiers speaker output to the crossovers INPUT terminals. Then, (2) connect the terminals labeled WOOFER to the HEX woofer/midbass driver and, (3) connect the TWEETER terminals to the HEX tweeter. Finished! The remaining RAF outputs may be used for an optional (available from your DAT dealer) rear-fill driver, coaxial speaker or even the factory original rear speakers. For applications requiring timbre-matched drivers, we suggest using the S4.0m or S5.0m units. The RAF output features attenuation of -10dB for optimum level matching and compensation for vehicle size and length.

Amplifier HEX Midrange/ Midbass The HEX Series 2-way systems S400, S500 and S600 include an RAF rear-fill output as part of the crossover design. The RAF output is unfiltered to maintain a correct phase relationship to the front stage, however, the output is attenuated by -10dB to optimize for typical vehicle size and length. Rear-fill drivers are available separately from your DAT dealer. As shown in diagram below, (1) connect the amplifiers speaker output (observing correct polarity) to the crossovers INPUT terminals. Then, (2) connect the terminals labeled WOOFER to the woofer/midbass driver (i.e., S4.0m, S5.0m or S6.0m). (3), connect the TWEETER terminals to the S.0ta/S.0ts tweeter. The RAF outputs (4), connect to the rear-fill driver. We suggest using the S4.0m or S5.0m as the sound is timbre-matched to the front system. - + Crossover INPUT - + WOOFER - + TWEETER - + Rear Fill Driver REAR - + - + HEX Tweeter HEX Midrange/ Midbass Front Stage with Rear-Fill system. Easy with the flexible HEX systems. Diagram shows that by combining the S6.0mx3 System Add-On (available separately from your DAT dealer) with the S400 or S500 systems, a fully passive 3-way speaker system can easily be assembled. Optionally, the RAF output of the primary HEX crossover may still be used to augment the front stage sound. The Sx3 crossover features frequency and level controls to balance the bass/mid/high sound. The Sx3/HEX combo offers great flexibility in a passive 3-way design.
