CERWIN VEGA V465 (01) PDF Document

To ensure the best performance possible with your CERWIN VEGA V465, it is important to isolate the front sound waves of the speaker from its rear sound waves. This is done by securely mounting the speaker to a flat surface known as a baffle. Make sure to seal the speaker to ensure there are no air leaks around its frame.

If your vehicle has existing factory speaker locations, the easiest method is to replace them with the CERWIN VEGA V465. In cases where there is not a factory speaker location, there are many places where the speakers will fit in a vehicle, but they are not always the best locations for good sound. Make sure to take the time to select the best locations possible. Mounting the speakers so that they are at an equal distance from your ears will achieve the best results.

Prior to cutting, remove the panel from the door and check for clearance in the intended installation area, making sure the window will go all the way up and down without any interference. Avoid cutting any structural metal support or braces to mount the CERWIN VEGA V465. You should also use sound deadening material on the door skin to improve sound quality.

There are two primary methods for mounting the CERWIN VEGA V465 in the rear deck of a vehicle: top mounting and bottom mounting. Top mounting requires dropping the speakers in through the deck (interior) while bottom mounting secures the speakers from underneath (trunk). Either method requires a good seal around the frame for the best performance.

In most cases, you will use the factory supplied wiring, but if new wires have to be run for your CERWIN VEGA V465, there are some precautions that need to be taken. If the wire needs to run through metal, such as a door jamb, always use a grommet to prevent damage to your wires. Never run wire through bare metal, as this can damage the source unit, amplifier, or the speakers themselves. Safety of the wiring against short circuits is the most important installation concern.

The CERWIN VEGA V465 features a fully encapsulated 12 dB per octave On-Board Crossover Network, a 1.0 inch (25mm) Titanium Dome Tweeter, a proprietary low resonance Deep Drawn Stamped Cast Basket, a Curvilinear Cone Design for superior mid-bass and off axis performance, and a VEGA signature red surround.
