INTRODUCTION

This manual contains information on the construction, installation and
operation of the Punch High Performance (HPC) Full Range Speakers.
We recommend you keep this manual for future reference.

The Punch High Performance Full Range Speakers are a line of coaxial
(two-way) and triaxial (three-way) speakers designed to improve the
performance of factory installed car stereo systems. Sized to fit most
automotive applications, the Punch High Performance Full Range Speak­ers provide the first step to upgrading your factory system.

INSTALLATION

Since some of these Punch High Performance 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 (+) or colored dot.

INFORMATION

Lea detenidamente las siguientes instrucciones de instalación del producto.

INTRODUCCIÓN

Este manual contiene información sobre la construcción, instalación y
funcionamiento de los altavoces de todo rango. Le recomendamos que
conserve el manual para futuras consultas.

INSTALACIÓN

La mayoria de estos altavoces se usan principalmente como reemplazo
directo de los altavoces de origen del vehiculo y no vienen equipados con
rejillas, por lo que algunas de las siguientes instrucciones no serán
aplicables. Para una instalación personalizada consulte a su distribuidor
autorizado Rockford Fosgate.

1. Determine donde han de montarse los altavoces. Asegúrese de que
hay espacio suficiente tanto de área como de profundidad para alojar
el altavoz. Si el montaje es en una puerta, todas las funciones han de
ser respetadas (alzacristales, cierres, etc.).

2. Consulte la hoja de caracteristicas para determinar el diametro del
agujero a realizar para su modelo de altavoz.

3. Use los anillos de montaje de plático como plantilla. Marque la
posición de los tornillos de anclaje.

4. Pase el cable de altovoz a través del anillo de plástico y conéctelo a
los terminales del altavoz. Observe la polaridad. El terminal positivo
está marcado con un punto.

5. Ajuste el anillo y el altavoz al orificio. Móntelo utilizando los tornillos
suministrados. Fije la rejilla en el anillo de plástico y presione
firmemente.

Veuillez liere les instructions suivantes pour l'installation de ces produits.

INTRODUCTION

Ce manuel contient des informations sur la construction, l'installation et
le fonctionnement des haut-parleurs large bande. Nous vous proposons
de garder ce manuel pour tout référence future.

Les haut-parleurs large bande sont des haut-parleurs à deux voies conçus
pour améliorer les performances des haut-parleurs installés d'origine.
Leurs tailles étant prévues pour les emplacements les plus courants, les
haut-parleurs large bande constituent le premier pas dans l'amélioration
des systèmes d'origine.

INSTALLATION

Comme certains de ces haut-parleurs sont souvent utilisés directement
en remplacement des haut-parleurs d'origine et sont livrés sans grilles
certaines des recommandations suivantes ne s'appliqueront pas. Pour
des installations personnalisés voyez votre dealer agréé Rockford Fosgate.

1. Déterminer l'endroit où le haut-parleur sera monté. Assurez-vous
que cet endroit est suffisamment large et profond pour monter le
haut-parleur de manière équilibrée. Si le haut-parleur est monté dans
une porte assurez-vous que toutes les commodités de la porte
fonctionnent complètement et correctement sans que le haut-parleur
ne leur fasse obstruction (lève-vitre, verrouillage, etc.).

2. Reportez-vous au tableau des spécifications techniques pour
déterminer le bon diamètre de coupe du trou destiné au haut-parleur.

3. Utilisez l'anneau en plastique comme modèle et localisez
l'emplacement des vis. Préforez les trous avec une méche de 3 mm.

4. Faites passer les fils de connexion au travers du trou et de l'anneau
en plastique et connectez les aux bornes du haut-parleur. Veuillez à
bien observer les polarités. La borne positive du haut-parleur est
marqué avec un point.

5. Fixez l'anneau et le haut-parleur autour du trou avec les vis livrées.
Placez la grille dans l'anneau et poussez la fermement.

Si prega di leggere queste istruzioni per l'installazione del prodotto acquistato.

INTRODUZIONE

Questo manuale contiene informazioni sulla costruzione, installazione
e sul funzionamento degli altoparlanti a gamma intera Rockford Fosgate.
Vi raccomandiamo di conservare questo manuale per riferimento futuro.

Gli altoparlanti a gamma intera sono dei sistemi a due vie progettati per
esaltare le prestazioni dei sistemi hi-fi installati dai costruttori di automobili.
Dimensionati in modo da adattarsi a quasi tulle le predisposizioni delle
auto, questi altoparlanti consentono il primo passo per l'ingresso nel
mondo dell'hi-fi.

INSTALLAZIONE

Essendo gli altoparlanti a gamma estesa normalmente impiegati negli
alloggiamenti previsti dai costruttori delle auto ed essendo spediti senza
griglie, alcune delle indicazioni seguenti potrebbero non adattarsi al
Vostro caso. Per installazioni personalizzate contattate il Vostro installatore
autorizzato Rockford Fosgate.

1. Determinate la zona in cui installare gli altoparlanti. Assicuratevi che
lo spazio sia sufficiente ad un corretto posizionamento. Assicuratevi
anche che la profonditá sia sufficiente. Se l'installazione avviene in
una porta, controllate che tutte le parti meccaniche (meccanismi dei
vetri e chiusure centralizzate) possano funzionare nell'intero loro
arco operativo.

2. Fate riferimento alla tabella con le specifiche tecniche per determinare
il diametro del foro da praticare.

3. Impiegate l'anello in plastica di supporto della griglia come dima per
il posizionamento dei fori di fissaggio. Praticate fori da 3,5 mm.

4. Passate i cavi attraverso il foro e l'anello in plastica della griglia e
collegateli all'altoparlante. Controllate la polaritá (il positivo
sull'altoparlante é indicato da un pallino).

5. Accostate l'anello e l'altoparlante al foro e, impiegando le viti a
dotazione, fissate il tutto. Inserite la griglia al proprio posto e premetela
con delicatezza, ma fermanente alla propria posizione.
