Installation Considerations

Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before
attempting to install these speakers.
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 speakers 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. If installation in a boat, take care not to cut or
drill through the main hull.
6. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the
vehicle or hull area 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.
Mounting
Mid-Bass
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. Cutting and mounting templates can be
found at www.rockfordfosgate.com.
3. Mark the locations for the mounting screws. Drill the holes with a
1/8" bit.
4. Feed the speaker wires through the cutout 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 trim ring over the speaker and mount into place using four (4)
screws.
6. Tighten the screws until the speaker is snug in place to prevent
rattling. Do not over tighten the screws.

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. Mark the location for the mounting hole. Drill the hole with a standard
1.75 inch (45mm) hole saw.
3. With a single center screw secure the inner cup from the front of the
door panel to the outer cup from back of the door panel. Tighten the
screw until balanced pressure is applied to both faces of the mounting
surface.
4. Feed the speaker wires through the cutout and connect to the speaker
terminals. Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the
wires. The speaker's lead wires are indicated with a RED wire "+" and
a BLACK wire "-".
5. Simply snap the tweeter into place and secure with a snap-on trim
ring. Removal is easy if needed. The protective grille on the tweeter is
non-removable and an integral part of the design.

Wiring
Standard
1. Use illustration for proper connection and be sure to maintain speaker
polarity.
2. Use only "TWEETER" input(s).
Bi-amp
1. Use illustration for proper connection and be sure to
maintain speaker polarity.
2. Remove 4 screws from crossover bottom to detatch cover.
3. When BI-AMP switched OFF for one amplifier, use only
"TWT" input.
4. When BI-AMP switched ON for two dedicated amplifier,
use both "TWT" and "WFR" inputs

T1T-S Crossover
1. Use illustration for proper connection.
2. Be sure to maintain speaker polarity.
3. Connecting the positive wire to 0dB matches the amplitude of the
tweeter to the mid-range (woofer).
4. Connecting positive wire to -2dB or -4dB to reduce the amplitude of
the tweeter -2dB or -4dB lower than the mid-range, (ideal for tweeters
located high in door panels and mid-range low in the kick panel).

1. Set to ON or OFF to match position of tweeter relative to listener.
Default OFF position satisfies most installations.
Tweeter Attenuation Switch
1. 0dB matches the amplitude (no increase/no attenuation) of the tweeter
to the same level as the mid-range (woofer).
2. +2dB increases and -2dB reduces the amplitude of tweeter in relation
to the mid-range, (ideal when matching offset installation like tweeters
located high in door panels and midranges low in kick panels).
