6. Clean only with a dry cloth.

7. WARNING: The speakers must be properly secured in the vehicle. Improper installation may lead to permanent injury or death. Installation of the speakers must be done with great care by qualified personnel, to prevent damage to fuel lines, power and other electrical wiring, hydraulic brake lines, and other systems that might compromise vehicle safety.

8. Use speaker wire of sufficient size to ensure adequate current to the speaker. For EPIC Series Speakers, this typically means 14-18 gauge speaker wire.

9. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required if the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as damaged input terminals, objects falling into the apparatus, abnormal operation, or if it has been dropped.

10. Exposure to high sound pressure levels may lead to permanent hearing loss. Take every precaution to protect your hearing.

The frequency response graph details the bandwidth in which the AUDIOCONTROL EPICPRO6X operates. This graph will help you determine the crossover settings for your midrange drivers on your amplifier, as well as their integration with additional tweeters and subwoofers in your system.

You can configure your speakers for different impedance levels for optimal installation within your system. Note that the large speaker terminal is positive (+) and the small speaker terminal is negative (-).

• 4Ω (Single Speaker): Connect the positive and negative speaker wires from the amplifier directly to the corresponding positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on a single speaker.

• 2Ω (Two Speakers in Parallel): Connect the positive (+) terminals of two speakers together and the negative (-) terminals of the two speakers together. Then, run a single positive wire from the amplifier to the connected positive terminals and a single negative wire from the amplifier to the connected negative terminals.

• 4Ω (Four Speakers in Series-Parallel): Create two pairs of speakers. For each pair, wire two speakers in series (positive of speaker 1 to amplifier, negative of speaker 1 to positive of speaker 2, negative of speaker 2 to amplifier). This creates two 8Ω loads. Then, wire these two pairs in parallel to achieve a final 4Ω load.

• First, determine where the speaker will be mounted. Next, make sure the area has a flat surface for the speaker to mount.

• Check the mounting depth of the desired location. For the EPICPRO6X, the mounting depth is 3.0 in / 77 mm.

• If the speaker will be mounted in a door, roll the windows up / down and lock / unlock the doors making sure there are no obstructions that the speaker will hit.

• Using the cut out template, mark the location for the speaker to be mounted.

• With the tool of your choice, cut out the marked hole.

• After the speaker has been wired, place the speaker into the hole. Use supplied mounting hardware to keep the speaker in place.

To connect two AUDIOCONTROL EPICPRO6X speakers in a bridged configuration to a 4-channel amplifier like the EPICFOUR, you will treat the amplifier as two more powerful 2-channel amplifiers.

1. For the first speaker, connect the speaker wire to the positive (+) terminal of Channel 1 and the negative (-) terminal of Channel 2 on the amplifier. This bridges channels 1 and 2.

2. For the second speaker, connect the speaker wire to the positive (+) terminal of Channel 3 and the negative (-) terminal of Channel 4 on the amplifier. This bridges channels 3 and 4.

Each speaker will present a 4Ω load to its respective bridged channel pair.

To connect four AUDIOCONTROL EPICPRO6X speakers to a 4-channel amplifier, you will connect each speaker individually to one channel.

1. Connect the first speaker to the output terminals for Channel 1.

2. Connect the second speaker to the output terminals for Channel 2.

3. Connect the third speaker to the output terminals for Channel 3.

4. Connect the fourth speaker to the output terminals for Channel 4.

Each speaker will present a 4Ω load to its respective channel.

To connect eight AUDIOCONTROL EPICPRO6X speakers (which are 4Ω each) to a 4-channel amplifier and present a 2Ω load to each channel, you must wire two speakers in parallel to each channel.

1. For Channel 1: Take two speakers. Connect the positive (+) terminals of both speakers together. Connect the negative (-) terminals of both speakers together. Then, connect a single wire from the connected positive terminals to the Channel 1 positive (+) output on the amplifier, and a single wire from the connected negative terminals to the Channel 1 negative (-) output on the amplifier.

2. For Channel 2: Repeat the parallel wiring process with two more speakers and connect them to the Channel 2 outputs.

3. For Channel 3: Repeat the parallel wiring process with two more speakers and connect them to the Channel 3 outputs.

4. For Channel 4: Repeat the parallel wiring process with the final two speakers and connect them to the Channel 4 outputs.

This configuration connects a pair of 4Ω speakers in parallel to each of the four channels, resulting in a 2Ω load per channel.
