Installation Considerations
Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules
1. Be su re to carefully read and understa nd the instructions before
attempting to install these speakers.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery pri or to
beginning the installation.
3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wir es prior to mounting
your speakers in place.
4. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to mini m ize
signal or power loss.
5. Think before you drill! Be carefu l not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel
line s, brake or hydraulic lin es, vacuum lines or el ectrica l wiring when
working on any vehicle. If installation in a boat, take care not to cu t or
drill through the main hull.
6. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the
vehicle or hull area provides the best protection .
7. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubbe r or
plastic grommets to protect any wires rout ed through metal , especially
the firewall.
Mounting
1. Determine where th e speakers will be mounted. En sure an area large
e nough for the speaker to mount evenly. Be sure that the mount i ng
location is deep enough f or the speaker to fit; if mounting in a door,
operate a ll functions (windows, lock s, etc.) through their entire
operating range to ensure there is no obstruction .
2. Refer to the spec ifi cat ion ch ar t to determine the proper diameter ho le
to cut for your speaker model. Cutting a nd mounting templates can be
found at www.rockfordfo sgate . com .
3. Mark th e lo cat ion s for th e mounting screws . Drill th e holes with a
1/8" bit.
4. Feed the speake r wir es through the cutout and connect to the spea ke r
terminals . Be su re to obse rv e proper polarity when connecting t he
wir es .Th e speaker's positive terminal is indicated with a"+".
5. Fit th e trim ring over the speaker a nd mount into place us ing four (4)
screws.
6. Tighten the sc rew s until the s peaker is s nug in place to prevent
rattling. Do not over tighten the screws .
