INTRODUCTION

This manual contains information on the construction, installation and
operation of the Punch FRC (Full Range Coaxial) Speakers. We recommend
you keep this manual for future reference.
The Punch Full Range Speakers are two-way and three-way speakers
designed to improve the performance of the factory installed car stereo sys­tem. Sized to fit most automotive applications, the Punch Full Range Speak­ers provide the first step in an upgrade to the factory system.

PACKAGE CONTENTS

1 Pair Grilles (FRC2204, FRC2205, FRC2206, FRC2206F, FRC2269,

FRC2369 only)

Installation & Operation Manual

INSTALLATION

Since some of these Punch Full Range Speakers are most often used as
direct replacements for stock speakers and are shipped without grilles,
some of the following instructions will not apply. For custom installations
see your Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer.

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.

3. Using the plastic mounting ring as a template, mark the locations for
the mounting screws. Drill the holes with a 1/8" bit.

4. Feed the speaker wires through the cutout and the plastic mounting
ring (from the flat side) 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 ring and speaker to the cutout. Mount them using the enclosed
screws. Fit the grille inside the ring and press gently, but firmly, into
place.
