application, speakers for marine environments, enclosed speaker systems, amplifiers,
accessories and other products. Our tradition of leadership and innovation in the audio industry
continues with products like Platinum Format loudspeakers with HEATT™ ™ Technology.
We recommend you have your new Platinum Format loudspeakers installed by a
professional. Professional installation shops have the equipment to do the job correctly, and
the experience to recommend the best mounting locations in your vehicle.
Please use your new Platinum Format loudspeakers responsibly. Very loud music can cause
permanent hearing loss.
PLATINUM FORMAT FEATURES:
•
HEATT™ ™ Technology means our Platinum Format drivers handle more power with
less distortion. A layer of nickel, bonded to an injection molded cone, dissipates heat
from the voice coil. The nickel layer also increases the stiffness of the cone for less
harmonic distortion at high power.
•
The Butyl Rubber Surround has superior damping characteristics and will last longer
than foam surrounds
•
Titanium Dome Tweeters with Neodymium Magnets provide smooth response beyond
25kHz for crystal clear high frequencies. An integral phase plug insures even dispersion
throughout the listening area.
•
A Black Chrome Plated Frame provides a distinctive appearance in keeping with the
"Platinum" designation.
•
A Rubber Magnet Cover protects the magnet from chipping or breaking.
•
Titanium Dome Mid-ranges add warmth and presence to the sound of the PS6940 and
PS8940.
•
The PS8940 includes an adapter for mounting in a 6" X 9" cut-out.

Installation
1.
Choose a mounting location for your Platinum Format loudspeakers. Check for clearance
behind the speaker mounting locations, making sure the speakers will not interfere with
any handles, window cranks, door locks, or brackets. If the speakers are to be mounted in
the vehicle doors, check the operation of all functions(windows, locks, and any other
switches or hand cranks) to make sure there is no obstruction. Be sure the mounting
location and the drilling of screw holes for mounting will not present a hazard to any
wires, control cables, fuel lines, fuel tanks, hydraulic lines, or other vehicle systems or
components. For rear deck installations, make sure the speakers will not interfere with
opening and closing the trunk.
2.
If you are replacing the original factory speakers with speakers that are exactly the same
size, you may not need to cut or drill any new holes or run any additional wires. Simply
connect the speakers, observing correct polarity, and mount the speakers in the factory
location, using the original mounting cut-outs, screw holes and hardware. You probably
will not need the grilles and mounting rings for replacement installations.
