INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a list of tools needed for installation:
Volt/Ohm Meter
#2 Phillips screwdriver
Battery post wrench
Hand held drill w/assorted bits
CAUTION:If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself,have it installed by a
qualified Rockford Fosgate technician.
CAUTION:Before installation,disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent
damage to the unit,fire and/or possible injury.
Before beginning any installation,follow these simple rules:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install the Unit.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your unit in place.
4. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.
5. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks,fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines,
vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.
6. Never run wires underneath the vehicle.Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the best
protection.
7. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any
wires routed through metal,especially the firewall.
8. 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.
9. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from areas of extreme heat or moisture.
MOUNTING
Speakers/Tweeters
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. 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.
3. Refer to the specification chart to determine the proper diameter hole to cut for your speaker
model.
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 decorative finish to the installation
and provide an easy upgrade (no new wires to run) for a bi-amp Rockford Fosgate system in the
future.

INSTALLATION-TWEETERS
Use this section when installing Tweeters or Systems
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 1).
•Sound radiated from a “point source” provides the best stereo imaging
because the separation of the acoustical centers between the
midrange and tweeter for each channel is at the optimum distance.In
a closed environment such as an automobile,horizontal speaker
alignment (Figure 2) can cause 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. Mounting the speaker with minimum path
length difference will ensure the best staging and
imaging possible from your audio system.

INSTALLATION
CONSIDÉRATIONS CONCERNANT L’INSTALLATION
Voici la liste d’outils requis pour l’installation :
V oltmètr e-ohmmètr e
Tournevis à embout cruciforme no 2
Clé de borne de batterie
Perceuse à main avec mèches assorties
Français
Tube thermorétrécissable de 1/8 po de diamètre

Pince à sertir
Coupe-fils
MISE EN GARDE :si vous vous sentez incapable d’installer l’appareil vous-même,
confiez la tâche à un technicien qualifié.
MISE EN GARDE :avant d'entamer l'installation,déconnectez la broche négative (-)
de la batterie pour éviter tout risque de blessures,d’incendie ou
de dommages à l'appareil.
Avant de commencer l’installation,suivez ces règles toutes simples :
1. Prenez soin de bien lire et comprendre les instructions avant d’installer l’appareil.
2. Par mesure de sécurité,veuillez débrancher le fil négatif de la batterie avant de commencer
l’installation.
3. Pour faciliter le montage,nous vous suggérons de dérouler tous les câbles avant d'installer l'appareil.
4. Utilisez des connecteurs de haute qualité pour assurer une installation fiable et minimiser la perte de
signal ou de puissance.
5. Réfléchissez avant de percer quoique ce soit ! Faites attention de ne pas couper ou percer le
réservoir d’essence, les conduites de carburant, de frein, hydrauliques ou de dépression,ou le câblage
électrique lorsque vous travaillez sur un véhicule.
6. Ne faites jamais passer les fils sous le véhicule. Il vaut mieux les installer à l’intérieur du véhicule pour
assurer une meilleure protection.
7. Évitez de faire passer les fils par dessus ou à travers des bords tranchants.Tout fil acheminé à travers
du métal,un pare-feu en particulier, doit être protégé avec des bagues en caoutchouc ou plastique.
8. Fixez les haut-parleurs et les filtres à l'écart des sources électriques (autres que l'ampli) c.-à-d.câbles
d'alimentation,pompes à carburant électroniques,ordinateurs de bord et autres sources potentielles
de bruit.
9. Fixez les haut-parleurs et les filtres à l'écart des zones à forte chaleur ou humidité.
MONTAGE
Haut-parleurs/Tweeters
1. Déterminez l'emplacement des haut-parleurs.Prévoyez un espace suffisamment grand pour assurer un
montage égal des haut-parleurs. Assurez-vous que l'emplacement est assez profond pour les hautparleurs;s'il s'agit d'une porte, actionnez complètement toutes les fonctions (fenêtres, verrous,etc.)
pour vous assurer qu'il n'y pas d'obstruction.
2. Lorsque vous montez les haut-parleurs sur la tablette arrière,vérifiez le fonctionnement du hayon
arrière ou du couvercle du coffre.Assurez-vous que les barres de torsion et autres pièces mobiles ne
sont pas obstruées par l'installation des haut-parleurs.
3. Reportez-vous au tableau des spécifications pour déterminer le diamètre approprié à découper pour
votre modèle de haut-parleur.
Filtres passifs
1. Prévoyez un espace plat suffisamment grand pour le montage du filtre.
2. Pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats possibles,fixez le ou les filtres près de l'ampli afin de donner une
belle apparence à l'ensemble et permettre une mise à niveau facile à l'avenir (pas besoin de faire
passer des fils) vers un système Rockford Fosgate à deux amplis.
