In today’s vehicles, space for everything is at a premium. Many times, the space that car designers dedicate for the stereo system is an afterthought. Rockford Fosgate realizes that people who want stereo systems in their vehicles have to contend with these real world problems. Our solution is the Punch Splits High Definition Component Systems .
ECHNICAL Midrange Features PVA Treated Cone The lightweight paper cones are treated with PVA (PolyVinyl Acetate) for environmental stability and increased rigidity. This treatment promotes smooth midrange performance and low frequency extension free of distortion. THE RESULT: Strong and lightweight high performance cones. Vented Pole Piece The vented pole piece by design, ensures proper ventilation to cool the voice coil and maintains lower operating temperatures.

Tweeter Features Neodymium Magnets The high ionic compound of neodymium enables a smaller tweeter magnet assembly to be used as opposed to the much larger ferrite magnets that are commonly used in speaker manufacturing. THE RESULT: An efficient magnet which allows smaller tweeter construction.
To maximize the performance in difficult or custom installa- tions, please see your Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer. Warning! Please read the entire Installation section before attempting the installation of your Punch Splits Speakers.
