Important recommendations

Before attempting any installation work, it is very important to verify how much space is

available to fit the speakers into the vehicle.

Key points:

• For direct replacement of original speakers, please check there is enough space for your

new Focal speakers and grilles.

• Ensure the speaker is clean from debris and metallic particles that maybe attached

(especially after drilling)

• Use the foam gasket supplied (inside the grille), for airtight placement of the speaker into

the panel.

• Do not touch the tweeter cone.

Choice of installation and positioning the tweeter

To achieve best results for your installation, please follow these simple guidelines

• Use a variety of speakers to achieve a large bandwidth, the most central possible.

• Speakers positioned in the most forward location possible, for correct staging.

• Tweeters positioned preferably high in the doors or in the dash (if space permitting),

to obtain un-muddled high and midrange frequencies. These being directive to the

listener.

• To position the tweeters direct in-line to the listeners ears, for improved imaging.

mid-range positions.

Cables and connections

• For best results with your Access speakers, we recommend you include the use of

Focal cables.

• Alternatively, other high quality cable can be used, if sufficient section thickness is available

(minimum thickness = 1mm2). This is particularly important for long lengths of cable to

ensure a strong efficient signal is maintained.

• Always ensure the polarity is respected, (+ is connected to +) and (- is connected to -).

• Maintain correct connections, from principal source radio / amplifier (left / right / front and

rear), and crossover to speakers (tweeter to tweeter), (mid to mid), (woofer to woofer), is

always observed.

• If the woofer is located at the bottom on the door, connect the woofer directly on the

amplifier in order to have more dynamic midrange.

Fitting the tweeter

There are two mounting possibilities available: surface or

flush mount. To easily install the tweeter, you have to turn

the pod round, then release the tweeter.

Surface mounting (dashboard): choose the angle that

best suits your installation (10° or 30°) and mount the pod

firmly using the screws supplied. Feed the wire through

the hole in the pod and re-fit the tweeter in place.

Flush mounting: cut a neat 45mm diameter hole in the

panel where you want to place the tweeter. Then, insert

the tweeter in the front panel. In the same time, put the

lock washer in the rear panel. Feed the wire through the

hole and push simultaneously on the pod and the washer

to lock the pod on the panel. Feed the wire through the

hole in the pod and re-fit the tweeter in place.

Fitting the crossover

Locate the crossovers in a dry, preferably

ventilated area, using either the screws

supplied or double-sided tape.

To open the box, squeeze the middle on the

side, and remove the cover.

In some cases, depending on your installation

and the space available, it maybe easier to

route the cables and connect to the crossover,

before securing the crossover to the vehicle.

Please check before.

Level adjustment of tweeter and midrange

The toggle switch found inside the crossover, allows the user to adjust the tweeter level.

This user-friendly option allows effective adjustments to be made, to your own personal listening

pleasure, plus optimising the infinite amount of speaker installation locations available.

This allows the system to be “tailor made” to your vehicle, effectively ensuring the best acoustics

are possible. Remember too much treble and your system may sound aggressive, thus suffer a

lose of dynamics, resulting in poor definition.

Level position 0 or -3dB, if the tweeter is located very close to woofer-midrange, or in kick

panel, for the 2-way kits, or +3, 0dB for the 3-way kits.

Level position -3 or -6dB, if the tweeter is located high in the vehicle (in the dash or high in

the doors) with the woofer positioned comparatively low for the 2-way kits and 0, -3dB for

the 3-way kits.

What is the power for your amplifier?

Access speakers are already highly efficient, with improved sensitivity. Therefore, their use with

a high power head unit will provide comfortable listening pleasure.

However used in a more high-end system, with separate amplification, the audio quality will

be greatly improved. It is very important to know the rated power of the amplifier is suitable for

the speakers used. Otherwise your speakers may distort, or possible damage could occur.

Always consult the owners manual of the principal source (head unit/amplifier), to ensure the

power rating is compatible. A safe guide is to ensure the maximum power of the amplifier is

not greater than the nominal power of the speakers.

Installation upgrade (with the help of a subwoofer)

If you want your system to have bass, with real punch and power, we recommend the inclusion

of a subwoofer. This will greatly improve your listening pleasure and give your system, some

real physical dimension.

Focal has therefore developed a range of subwoofer drivers and complete subwoofer systems,

to compliment your Access speakers.

Recommandations importantes

Avant tout, vérifiez l’espace disponible pour l’encastrement des haut-parleurs (se reporter aux

plans sur l’emballage) puis procédez aux découpes.

• Dans le cas d’un montage en emplacement d’origine, vérifiez qu’il y ait un espace suffisant

entre le haut-parleur et la grille de protection.

• Tenir les haut-parleurs à l’écart des copeaux métalliques et des poussières. Procédez à un

nettoyage soigneux avant de les monter.

• Utilisez le joint d’étanchéité fourni dans la grille afin d’assurer une étanchéité parfaite.

• Ne touchez pas à la membrane du tweeter.

Choix de l’emplacement et orientation du tweeter

Le résultat optimum sera obtenu en respectant quelques règles simples :

• L’image sonore la plus large et la plus centrée sera obtenue par un écartement maximum des

haut-parleurs et par un positionnement le plus à l’avant possible.

• Les fréquences médiums et aigues seront favorisées par un emplacement en haut de portière

ou sur le tableau de bord, les fréquences graves sont peu directives et ne sont donc pas

déterminantes pour le choix de l’emplacement du haut-parleur.

• L’orientation des tweeters en direction des oreilles de l’auditeur permet d’optimiser l’image

sonore.

Câblage et connexions

Afin de tirer le meilleur parti de vos haut-parleurs Access, nous vous recommandons d'utiliser

des câbles Focal. A défaut, un câble de qualité et de section suffisante (1 mm2 minimum) est

recommandé, surtout si la distance entre l’amplificateur ou l’autoradio et les haut-parleurs

est importante.

Veillez à respecter la polarité des branchements (+ sur +, etc.) et la convenable orientation

des câbles vers ampli, grave, ou tweeter. Si le woofer est installé au bas d'une portière,

connectez-le directement sur l'autoradio sans passer par le filtre pour récupérer un maximum

d'énergie dans le médium.

Installation du tweeter

Il existe deux possibilités de montage : montage en

surface et montage encastré. Pour installer le tweeter, vous

devez le sortir de son support : débloquez le support du

tweeter en le faisant pivoter, puis dégagez le tweeter de

son logement.

Montage en surface (tableau de bord) : choisir

l’inclinaison (10° ou 30°), fixer le support à l’aide des vis

fournies, passer les fils puis bloquer le tweeter en faisant

pivoter le support.

Montage encastré : découper un trou de 45 mm de

diamètre, insérer le support et le bloquer contre la paroi

à l’aide de la rondelle crantée. Passer les fils et bloquer le

tweeter en faisant pivoter le support.
