Dear Customer, Congratulations on your purchase of the world's finest brand of car audio speakers.

Section of this manual or refer to the icons listed below. Other information can be located by using the Table of Contents. We, at Rockford Fosgate, have worked very hard to make sure all the information in this manual is current.
Fanatic P, X, and Q Tweeter Systems. We suggest you save this manual for future reference. We strongly recommend you have your Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer install the Fanatic P, X, or Q Tweeter System. If you do choose to install the system yourself, please be sure to read the entire manual before beginning.
Make sure there is a flat area large enough for the crossover to mount. For best results, mount the crossover(s) next to the amplifier for a dec- orative finish to the installation and to provide an easy upgrade (no new wires to run) for a bi-amp Rockford Fosgate system in the future.
Mounting Location A solid front stage with a good image is one of the most difficult tasks to achieve in a vehicle. No car has the optimum listening environment. This makes proper sound staging very difficult to accomplish. Most speakers tend to be placed where they will fit easily, as opposed to where they can per- form the best.
midrange and tweeter are reduced to a minimum. The result is a negli- gible difference in path lengths between the midrange and tweeter regardless of the proximity of the listener to the speakers. Mounting the speaker with minimum path length difference will ensure the best stag- ing and imaging possible from your audio system.
