INTRODUCTION

PACKAGE CONTENTS

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.

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 mount-

ing 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 "+".
