INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

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. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to begin-

ning the installation.

2. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the

vehicle 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. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from electrical sources (other than

the amplifier) i.e., power cables, electronic fuel pumps, vehicle com-

puters, and other potential noise sources.

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

moisture.

Speakers

1. Make sure there is an area large enough of the speaker to mount.

Warning! Failure to do this can cause damage to the speaker if the

speaker frame is bent during installation.

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 operation of the rear hatch or trunk lid. Make sure the torsion bars

and other moving parts are not obstructed by the speaker(s) installation.

•Please refer to the Specifications section of this manual for proper

mounting diameter and depth of the speaker(s).

Crossovers

1. Make sure there is a flat area large enough for the crossover to mount.

2. For best results, mount the crossover(s) next to the amplifier for a deco-

rative finish to the installation and provide an easy upgrade (no new

wires to run) for a bi-amp Rockford Fosgate system in the future.

MOUNTING LOCATION

A solid front stage with a good image is one of the most difficult tasks to

achieve in a vehicle. No car has the optimum listening environment. This

makes proper 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 mounting location of your speakers will have a great

effect on the sound quality of your stereo system. The special care taken to

place the speakers will yield many hours of listening enjoyment in return.

Several important recommendations should be followed.

•Place the speakers where they have a direct path to the listening area.

•For the best integration between the

midrange and tweeter, the tweeter should

be placed less than 2" from the midrange.

(Figure 1)

•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.

•Whenever possible, place the tweeter directly above or below the

midrange as this maximizes the imaging (point source) capability of the

speakers. (Figure 2)

Figure 1

2" or less

Figure 2-A Figure 2-B

•Sound radiated from a “point source”has the most optimum stereo

imaging because the separation of the acoustical centers between the

midrange and tweeter for each channel is at the optimum. Figure 2-A

describes a horizontal speaker alignment. In a closed environment such

as an automobile, horizontal speaker alignment can cause severe

amplitude and phase differences which will degrade not only the imag-

ing, but also the frequency response. This is due to the path length dif-

ferences between the midrange and tweeter. Figure 2-B displays a verti-

cal alignment between the midrange and tweeter. With a vertical align-

ment, the path length difference between the midrange and tweeter are

reduced to a minimum. The result is a negligible difference in path

lengths between the midrange and tweeter 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.

INSTALLATION

Mounting the Midrange

1. Cut the proper size hole for the midrange/woofer (refer to the specifica-

tions page for mounting diameter dimensions)

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.

Crossover Connections

•Be Sure to Maintain Speaker Polarity

•0dB Tweeter Level matches the amplitude of the tweeter to the

midrange

•–3dB/–6dB Tweeter Level reduces the amplitude of the tweeter –3dB or

–6dB lower than the midrange. (ex. ideal for tweeters located high in

door panels and midranges located low in the kick panel)

•0°/180°Tweeter Phase matches the phase response of the tweeter to

the midrange (eminent when tweeter is located away from the

midrange). Leave the switch in the position that results in the best

sound quality.

•Replaceable Tweeter Protection Bulb - The light bulb acts as a fuse to

protect against overload. If the bulb burns out, remove the burned out

bulb and insert a new bulb (part# HDW10932) into the retainer clips.

Bandpassing the Midrange

•The Fanatic Component Systems are optimized for full range music re-

production. In cases where a subwoofer is used, the midrange can be

bandpassed in order to prevent overlapping frequencies from the

midrange into the subwoofer.

1. Determine the frequency range that the subwoofer will play (i.e.: 20Hz-

80Hz)

2. Use the low-pass crossover frequency of the subwoofer system (i.e.:

80Hz) as the high-pass crossover frequency for the midrange

3. Select the appropriate capacitor value (i.e.: 500mF) to properly band-

pass the midrange

4. Place the capacitor in series with the “+”terminal of the speaker
