INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Tools Needed
The following is a list of some of the tools necessary for the installation of your speakers.
Power Drill with assorted bits #2 Phillips Screwdriver Tape Measure Voltmeter
General
1. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to begin-
ning the installation.
2. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the
vehicle provides the best protection.
3. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic
grommets to protect any wires routed through metal.
4. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from electrical sources (other than
the amplifier) i.e., power cables, electronic fuel pumps, vehicle com­puters, and other potential noise sources.
5. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from areas of extreme heat or
moisture.
Speakers
1. Make sure there is an area large enough of the speaker to mount.
Warning! Failure to do this can cause damage to the speaker if the speaker frame is bent during installation.
2. Check to see that the location is deep enough for the speaker(s) and the
location does not interfere with the normal operation of the vehicle.
3. When mounting the speaker(s) in the door of a vehicle, make sure the
speaker(s) do not interfere with either the door or window operation.
4. When mounting the speaker(s) on the rear deck of the vehicle, check
the operation of the rear hatch or trunk lid. Make sure the torsion bars and other moving parts are not obstructed by the speaker(s) installation.
• Please refer to the Specifications section of this manual for proper
mounting diameter and depth of the speaker(s).
Crossovers
1. Make sure there is a flat area large enough for the crossover to mount.
2. For best results, mount the crossover(s) next to the amplifier for a deco-
rative finish to the installation and 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 perform the best. The mounting location of your speakers will have a great effect on the sound quality of your stereo system. The special care taken to place the speakers will yield many hours of listening enjoyment in return. Several important recommendations should be followed.
• Place the speakers where they have a direct path to the listening area.
• For the best integration between the
midrange and tweeter, the tweeter should be placed less than 2" from the midrange. (Figure 1)
• If you cannot place the tweeter less than 2"
from the midrange, then place the tweeter more than 7" from the midrange. Placing the tweeter 2"-7" from the midrange can cause destructive interference (frequency response problems) which will affect the speaker's ability to reproduce the frequency range around the crossover frequency of the system.
• Whenever possible, place the tweeter directly above or below the
midrange as this maximizes the imaging (point source) capability of the speakers. (Figure 2)
Figure 1
2" or less
Figure 2-A Figure 2-B
Page 7
– 5 –
• Sound radiated from a “point source” has the most optimum stereo imaging because the separation of the acoustical centers between the midrange and tweeter for each channel is at the optimum. Figure 2-A describes a horizontal speaker alignment. In a closed environment such as an automobile, horizontal speaker alignment can cause severe amplitude and phase differences which will degrade not only the imag­ing, but also the frequency response. This is due to the path length dif­ferences between the midrange and tweeter. Figure 2-B displays a verti­cal alignment between the midrange and tweeter. With a vertical align­ment, the path length difference between the midrange and tweeter are reduced to a minimum. The result is a negligible 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 staging and imaging possible from your audio system.
INSTALLATION
Mounting the Midrange
1. Cut the proper size hole for the midrange/woofer (refer to the specifica-
tions page for mounting diameter dimensions)
2. Place the midrange over the mounting hole and mark the location of
the screw mounting holes.
3. Remove the midrange. Drill the holes for the screws using a 1/8" drill
bit.
4. Route the wire through the hole.
5. Attach the wires and be sure to observe the proper speaker polarity.
6. Place the speaker into the hole and screw the speaker into place. Be
careful not to bend the speaker frame during this step.
7. Press the speaker grille into the mounting ring.

Crossover Connections
High-Passing the Midrange
The fanaticP Component Systems are optimized for full range music reproduction. In cases where a subwoofer is used, the midrange can be high-passed in order to prevent overlapping frequncies from the midrange into the subwoofer.
1. Determine the frequency range that the subwoofer will play (i.e.: 20Hz-80Hz).
2. Use the low-pass crossover frequency of the subwoofer system (i.e.: 80Hz) as the high-pass crossover frequency for the midrange.
3. Select the appropriate capacitor value (i.e.: 500µF) ro prop­erly high-pass the midrange.
4. Place the capacitor in series with the "+" terminal of the speaker.
