Installation Considerations
Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before
attempting to install these speakers.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to
beginning the installation.
3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting
your speakers in place.
4. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize
signal or power loss.
5. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel
lines, brake or hydraulic
lines,
vacuum lines or electrical wiring when
working on any vehicle. If installation in a boat, take care not to cut or
drill through the main hull.
6.
Never run wires underneath the
vehicle.
Running the wires inside the
vehicle or hull area provides the best protection.
7. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges.
Use
rubber or
plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially
the firewall.
Mounting
Mid-Bass
1. Determine where the speakers will be mounted.
Ensure
an area
large
enough for the speaker to mount
evenly.
Be sure that the mounting
location is deep enough for the speaker to fit; if mounting in a door,
operate all functions (windows,
locks,
etc.) through their entire
operating range to ensure there is no
obstruction.
2. Refer to the specification chart to determine the proper diameter hole
to cut for your speaker model. Cutting and mounting
templates
can
be
found at www.rockfordfosgate.com.
3.
Mark the locations for the mounting screws. Drill the
holes
with a
1/8"
bit.
4. Feed the speaker wires through the
cutout
and connect to
the speaker
terminals. Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting
the
wires.
The
speaker's positive terminal is indicated with
a"+".
5.
Fit the trim ring over the speaker and mount into place using
four
(4)
screws.
6. Tighten the screws until
the
speaker is snug in place to prevent
rattling. Do not over tighten the
screws.

1. Determine where the
speakers
will be
mounted.
E nsure an area large
enough
for the speaker to mount evenly. Be
sure
that the mounting
location is deep enough
for the
speaker to fit; if mounting in a
door,
opera te
all functions
(windows, locks, etc.)
through their entire
opera
ting range to
ensure
there
is
no obstruction.
2. Mark the location for the mounting hole. Drill the
hole
with a standard
1.75 inch (45mm) hole saw.
3. With a single center
screw
secure the inner cup from the front of the
door panel to the outer
cup
from back of the
door
panel. Tighten the
screw
until balanced
pressure is
applied to both
faces of the
mounting
surface.
4. Feed the speaker
wires
through
the cutout and connect to the speaker
terminals. Be sure to
observe
proper
polarity
when
connecting the
wires. The speaker's lead
wires
are indicated with a RED
wire"+"
and
a
BLACK
wire
"-".
5.
Simply
snap
the
tweeter
