– 1 – P ACKAGE C ONTENTS I NTRODUCTION In today’s vehicles, space for everything is at a premium. Many times, the space that car designers dedicate for the stereo system is an afterthought. Rockford Fosgate realizes that people who want stereo systems in their vehicles have to contend with these real world problems.
– 2 – Midrange Features ◆ PV A T reated Cone The lightweight paper cones are treated with PVA ( P oly V inyl A cetate) for environmental stability and increased rigidity. This treatment promotes smooth midrange performance and low frequency extension free of distortion.
Tweeter Features ◆ Neodymium Magnets The high ionic compound of neodymium enables a smaller tweeter magnet assembly to be used as opposed to the much larger ferrite magnets that are commonly used in speaker manufacturing. THE RESULT: An efficient magnet which allows smaller tweeter construction.
– 4 – I NST ALLA TION C ONSIDERA TIONS ◆ Optical Compression Circuit The supplied passive crossovers utilize an optical compression circuit for tweeter protection. This protection circuit absorbs the destructive signal caused when the amplifier's output is clipped.
– 5 – • Place the speakers where they have a direct path to the listening area. • When using the Punch Splits, there are two options for speaker place- ment between the midrange and tweeter. For the best integration be- tween the midrange and tweeter, the tweeter should be placed less than 2" from the midrange.
Mounting the Midrange Punch Splits speakers with minimum path length differences will ensure the best staging and imaging possible from your audio system. The mounting of the Punch Splits speakers and crossovers is just as important as choosing the location for the speakers.
5. Place the mounting ring over the hole. 6. Attach the wires and be sure to observe the proper speaker polarity. Keep the speaker wires away from sharp and moving objects. 7. Place the speaker into the hole and screw the speaker into place. Be careful not to bend the speaker frame during this step.
Output from Amplifier Mounting the Punch Splits Plates 1. Cut the proper size hole for the midrange/woofer and tweeter. The midrange/woofer hole should be slightly larger than the mounting plate woofer hole. 2. Place the mounting plate over the mounting holes and mark the location of the screw mounting holes.
