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. On models with slotted holes, fit the speaker into the cutout and
install the screws in the slots at the top and bottom. This will allow
you to rotate the speaker to match the remaining mounting holes.
When aligned, tighten the screws.
6. Tighten the screws until the speaker is snug in place to prevent
rattling. Do not over tighten the screws.
Tweeter - Discreet Dual Clamp (DDC™)
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.
