Lynx 4x10 EZ Kit Assembly Instructions
Thank you for purchasing the 4x10 Lynx EZ Kit.
Before you start assembly, carfully check the cabinet and all components for any shipping damage. If shipping damage has occoured a claim needs to be filed with the carrier for recovery please contact us immediately so that we can notify the carrier of the damage. Keep all boxes and packing material that the products were shipped in.
The first step is to prepare the cabinet for mounting the drivers. The speakers will be mounted to the cabinet with #8 pan head sheet metal screws. Start by positioning the driver in the first cut out. Mark each of the mounting hole positions with white marker or chalk. Remove the speaker and drill 4 1/16" pilot holes for the screws. Continue on and repeat the process for the remaining 3 speakers drilling the pilot holes. DON'T MOUNT THE DRIVERS YET!
If you are installing the Powermax protection system (PRE-INSTALLED IN KITS) and/or the optional Midrange crossover circuit, connect the appropriate labeled wires to the input jacks see the enclosed wiring diagram. Be sure to observe the polarity of the connection. The red wire with the black strip is + and the "tip" of the 1/4" jack. The next step is to connect the drivers to the Powermax protection system. Hook the red wire with a black stripe to the + terminal of the top RH driver, hook the red wire without the stripe the the bottom RH drier. The next step is to connect the jumper wire between the top RH drivers - and the bottom RH drivers + terminal with the jumper that has 2 differnt colored connectors. The next step is to connect the jumper that is twisted with the + red wire with the black stipe that you connected to the + terminal of the first speaker to the + terminal of the top LH speaker. Continue on and connect the jumper between the top LH speakers - to the bottom LH speakers + terminal. The last step in wiring is to connect the jumper twisted with the red wire you previously connected to the - terminal of the bottom RH speaker to the - terminal of the bottom LH speaker.
Please see the provided wiring diagram for wiring options, ie.: 2,4,8 or 16 ohms depending on the particular drivers voice coil impedance. DON'T MOUNT THE DRIVERS YET.
POLARITY TEST
The next step is to test the wiring for correct polarity. The easiast way to test polarity is to take a 6 volt lantern battery or any 6 volt power source that has the polarity identified, hook the positive lead to the "tip" of the input jack and the negative lead to the "ring" of the input jack. All 4 speakers should mover outward toward you. If you are using the Powermax system the speakers will move out first and then settle back to center. This is due to the 20 hertz high pass filter built into the Powermax system charging up. If using the Powermax system the next step is to short the "tip" and ring of the 1/4" jack, then reverse the polarity of the leads ie.: negative battery to the "tip" positive battery to "ring" of the input jack. The speakers should now move into the basket away from you and then settle back to center. If any of the speakers move in the opposite direction, simply swap the hook up leads on the speaker that isn't moving in the right direction and test again.
Once the electrical test is finished you are ready to finish mounting the drivers to the cabinet. Line up the driver mounting holes with the cabinet inserts or holes you made and tighten the drivers evenly onto the cabinet. CAUTION DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!! Less is more here. The torque on the screws should be just enough to compress the mounting gasket on the basket of the driver, not crush it! In otherwords just "snug" the screws down evenly using a cross torque arraingment of tighening. Cross torque = alternately tighting screws opposite from each other across the the driver frame. Failure to observe these proceedures will most likely warp the frame of your driver and destroy it. This is even true of the more expensive cast aluminum frame drivers no matter what brand they are! This type of damage isn't covered by anyones warranty to our knowledge.
The next step is to install the steel protection grills. Position the grills over the speakers, then positon the grill retaining clamps. Mark all of the mounting points with a whit marker or chalk. remove the grills and clamps and drill 1/16" pilot holes for the mounting screws (provided). Carefully remove any dust or chips from the cones of the drivers before installing the grills. Re position the grills and install retaining clamps. Tighten the screws on the clamps until the rubber grill gasket just compresses. Remember, Less is more, don't over tighten!
The last step is to hook the cabinet up to your amp and play....your done....Enjoy!
Lynx 1x15 Bass Kit Assembly Instructions
Thank you for purchasing the 1x15 Lynx EZ Kit.
Before you start assembly, carfully check the cabinet and all components for any shipping damage. If shipping damage has occoured a claim needs to be filed with the carrier for recovery. Please contact us immediately so that we can notify the carrier of the damage. Keep all boxes and packing material that the products were shipped in.
The first step is to prepare the cabinet for mounting the driver. The best method of attaching the driver to the cabinet is with 1/4" x 20 x 3/4" machine screws and insert nuts (provided) This the most secure and safest system of driver attachment. Start by setting the driver in the cutout. Mark the hole with a white marker or chalk. Remove the speaker and Drill 6 or 8 pilot holes for the inserts with the 11/32" drill bit (provided). Next put a drop of Elmers wood glue (or equivalent) on the outside threads of the insert nut (the glue is optional but highly reccomended). Next use a hex key to thread each of the insert nuts into the wood pilot holes you drilled. Don't mount the driver just yet!
If you are installing the Powermax protection system or 100 Hz crossover, connect the appropriate labeled wires to the input jacks see the enclosed wiring diagram. Be sure to observe the polarity of the connection. The next step is to wire the driver to the input jacks or the optional crossover and/or Powermax protection system. Please see the provided wiring diagram for wiring options. Don't mount the drivers just yet. The next step is to test the wiring for correct polarity. The easiast way to test polarity of the cabinet is to take a 6 volt lantern battery or any 6 volt power source that has the polarity identified, hook the positive lead to the "tip" of the input jack and the negative lead to the "ring" of the input jack. The speaker should mover outward toward you. If you are using the Powermax system the speaker will move out first and then settle back to center. This is due to the 20 hertz high pass filter built into the Powermax system charging up. If using the Powermax system the next step is to momentarily short the "tip" and ring of the 1/4" jack to discharge the filter, next reverse the polarity of the leads ie.: negative battery to the "tip" positive battery lead to the "ring" of the input jack. The speaker should now move into the basket away from you and then settle back to center. If the speaker moves in the opposite direction, simply swap the hook up leads on the speaker and test again.

This type of damage isn't covered by anyones warranty to our knowledge.
The next step is to install the steel protection grills for the driver. Position the grill over the driver and set the retaining clamps in place. Mark the holes with white marker or chalk, remove the clamps and drill 1/16" pilot holes for the mounting screws. Caution, be sure to carefully remove any dust or chips that get on the cone of the driver. The next step is to tighten the screws on each clamp until the rubber gasket on the grill just compresses. Remember, Less is more, don't over tighten!
The last step is the best part, hook up your amp and play it....Your done....Enjoy!
