Owner's Manual

IN T R O D U C T I O N

This manual contains information on the construction, installation and operation of the Series 1 low frequency speakers. We recommend you keep this manual for future reference.

The Series 1 Woofers are a full line of low frequency drivers ranging in size from 8" to 15" in diameter. System compatibility is ensured by offering each size at four and eight ohm impedance. Designed to offer Rockford Fosgate quality in an affordable speaker, the Series 1 Woofers offer the beginning car stereo enthusiast an opportunity to enjoy solid low frequency music reproduction. Our engineers have selected materials and techniques used in building our speakers which offer performance and reliability comparable to other speakers selling for much more.

DE S I G N FE AT U R E S

The following section describes the methods used in constructing the Series 1 Woofers and how each was optimized.

Black Anodized Aluminum Voice Coil Former – To improve the reliability of the voice coil, it is wound on a black, anodized aluminum former. Because aluminum is an efficient thermal conductor, it keeps heat from concentrating in the voice coil during normal use.

Vented Pole Piece – To allow operation at reasonably high power levels, ventilation is needed. This is done through the use of a vented pole piece. The venting allows fresh air to circulate and remove the built up heat form the voice coil assembly.

PVA Treated Paper Cone – The cone is constructed from a lightweight, rigid paper material. The cone is treated with Polyvinyl Acetate which lowers the resonance and reduces distortion. The PVA also reduces damage from the harsh environmental conditions typical of a car interior.
