Tweeter

1. 3/4" Aluminum Dome Tweeter – To ensure accurate high frequency reproduc-

tion,the tweeterdome mustbe bothlightand strong.The FanaticQ Component

Systems use an aluminum dome with a silk surround. This combines the low

mass and strength of aluminum with the smoothness of silk for the ultimate in

high frequency reproduction.

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

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

– 7 –

® ®

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

• For the FNQ1404, cut a 98.55mm (329⁄32") diameter hole

• For the FNQ1405, cut a 115.57mm (49⁄16") diameter hole

• For the FNQ1406, cut a 148.51mm (527⁄32") diameter hole

2. Place the midrange over the mounting hole and mark the location of the

screw mounting holes.

3. Remove the midrange. 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.
