Tweeter

1. 3/4" Mylar Dome Tweeter – To ensure accurate high frequency reproduction,

the tweeter dome must be both light and strong. The Fanatic P Component

Systems use a mylar dome that has extremely low mass and high strength for

smooth high frequency reproduction.

2. Ferrofluid Cooling – This synthetic fluid is held in place in the magnetic gap. It

bathes the voice coil allowing higher power handling and greater reliability.

3. Neodymium Magnet –What goodwoulda tweeterbe ifitwas toobigto mount

in your favorite spot? The Fanatic Component Systems use a highly efficient

neodymiummagnettoenableaverysmalltweetertohaveverybigperformance.

the basket and the mounting surface for superior sound quality.

5. Mica Filled Polypropylene Cone – The ideal cone material would be

Crossover

8. Butterworth Crossover – Features an 18dB per octave high-pass

crossover for the tweeter. The steeper slope of the tweeter crossover

gives better power handling.

9. OpticalCompression–Thisbuilt-inprotectioncircuitlimitspowertothe

tweeter when the “danger” threshold is exceeded. Because it simply

limits power and doesn't shut the tweeter off, this circuit is completely

Tools Needed

The following is a list of some of the tools necessary for the installation of your

speakers.

Power Drill with assorted bits #2 Phillips Screwdriver

Tape Measure Voltmeter

General

1. Forsafety, disconnectthe negativelead fromthe batteryprior tobeginning

the installation.

2. Neverrunwiresunderneaththevehicle.Runningthewiresinsidethevehicle

provides the best protection.

3. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic

grommets to protect any wires routed through metal.

4. Mountthespeakers/crossoversawayfromelectricalsources(otherthanthe

and other potential noise sources.

5. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from areas of extreme heat or

moisture.

2. Check to see that the location is deep enough for the speaker(s) and the

location does not interfere with the normal operation of the vehicle.

3. When mounting the speaker(s) in the door of a vehicle, make sure the

speaker(s) do not interfere with either the door or window operation.

4. When mounting the speaker(s) on the rear deck of the vehicle, check the

OUNTING

OCATION

Asolidfrontstagewithagoodimageisoneofthemostdifficulttaskstoachieve

inavehicle.Nocarhastheoptimumlisteningenvironment.Thismakesproper

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

mountinglocationofyourspeakerswillhaveagreateffectonthesoundquality

of your stereo system. The special care taken to place the speakers will yield

many hours of listening enjoyment in return. Several important recommenda-

tions should be followed.

• Placethespeakerswheretheyhaveadirect

path to the listening area.

• Forthebestintegrationbetweenthemidrange

and tweeter, the tweeter should be placed

lessthan 2" fromthemidrange. (Figure1)

• 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.

• Wheneverpossible,placethetweeterdirectlyaboveorbelowthemidrange

as this maximizes the imaging (point source) capability of the speakers.

horizontal speaker alignment. In a closed environment such as an

automobile,horizontalspeakeralignmentcancausesevereamplitudeand

phase differences which will degrade not only the imaging, but also the

frequency response. This is due to the path length differences between the

midrangeandtweeter.Figure2-Bdisplaysaverticalalignmentbetweenthe

between the midrange and tweeter are reduced to a minimum. The result

isanegligibledifferenceinpathlengthsbetweenthemidrangeandtweeter

regardless of the proximity of the listener to the speakers. Mounting the

speaker with minimum path length difference will ensure the best staging

and imaging possible from your audio system.

Mounting the Midrange

– 6 –

® ®

1. Cut the proper size hole for the midrange/woofer.

• For the FNP-1404, cut an 90.48mm (39⁄16") diameter hole

• For the FNP-1405, cut a 113.50mm (415⁄32") diameter hole

• For the FNP-1406F, cut a 127mm (5") diameter hole

• For the FNP-1406, cut a 139.06mm (51⁄2") diameter hole

2. Placethemounting ringover themounting holeand markthelocationof

the screw mounting holes.

3. Remove the ring. Drill the holes for the screws using a 1/8" drill bit.

4. Route the wire through the hole.

5. Attach the wires and be sure to observe the proper speaker polarity.

6. Place the speaker into the hole and screw the speaker into place. Be

careful not to bend the speaker frame during this step.

7. Press the speaker grille into the mounting ring.
