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 beginning
the installation.
2. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehi-
cle 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 computers,
and other potential noise sources.
5. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from areas of extreme heat or mois-
ture.
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 mount-
ing 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 decora-
tive finish to the installation and provide an easy upgrade (no new wires to
run) for a bi-amp Rockford Fosgate system in the future.

•Sound radiated from a “point source”provides the best stereo imaging
because the separation of the acoustical centers between the midrange
and tweeter for each channel is at the optimum distance. In a closed en-
vironment such as an automobile, horizontal speaker alignment (Figure
2-A) can cause severe amplitude and phase differences which will
degrade not only the imaging, but also the frequency response. This is
due to the path length differences between the midrange and tweeter.
With a vertical alignment (Figure 2-B), the path length difference
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 abil-
ity to reproduce the frequency range around
the crossover frequency of the system.
•Whenever possible, place the tweeter direct-
ly above or below the midrange as this max-
imizes the imaging (point source) capability
of the speakers (Figure 2). Figure 1
2" or less

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.
1. Cut the proper size hole for the midrange/woofer.
•For the 4”speaker, cut a 90mm (3
9
⁄
16
") diameter hole
•For the 5-1/4”speaker, cut a 114mm (4
15
⁄
32
") diameter hole
•For the 6”speaker, cut a 129mm (5
1
⁄
16
") diameter hole
•For the 6-1/2”speaker, cut a 139mm (5
1
⁄
2
") diameter hole
2. Place the mounting ring over the mounting hole and mark the location of
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 mounting ring over the speaker.
7. Place the speaker into the hole and screw the speaker into place. Be care-
ful not to bend the speaker frame during this step.
8. Press the speaker grille into the mounting ring.

•Be sure to maintain speaker polarity
•0dB Tweeter Level matches the amplitude of the tweeter to the midrange
•-3dB Tweeter Level reduces the amplitude of the tweeter -3dB lower than the
midrange. (ex. ideal for tweeters located high in door panels and midranges located
low in the kick panel)
•Replaceable Tweeter Protection 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.

The Fanatic Component Systems are opti-
mized for full range music reproduction. In
cases where a subwoofer is used, the
midrange can be bandpassed in order to pre-
vent overlapping frequencies from the
midrange into the subwoofer.
1. Determine the frequency range that the sub-
woofer 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.: 500µF) to properly bandpass
the midrange
4. Place the capacitor in series with the “+”terminal of the speaker
