INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information on the construction, installation and
operation of the Full Range Speakers. We recommend you keep this
manual for future reference.
The Full Range Speakers are two-way speakers designed to improve the
performance of the factory installed car stereo system. Sized to fit most
automotive applications, the Full Range Speakers provide the first step in
an upgrade to the factory system.

TECHNICAL DESIGN FEATURES
◆ Polypropylene Cone
The polypropylene cones used in the Full Range Speakers are mica
filled for a high stiffness to mass ratio. This gives the cone strength
while allowing it to remain very light for minimal input power
required . The polypropylene cones are also resistive to the elements
which is beneficial for dash and rear deck installations.
THE RESULT: Strong and lightweight cones which resist the elements.

◆ Foam Surround
The Full Range speakers incorporate a precision rolled foam surround
for the front of the speaker's suspension. The foam surround controls
the linear excursion of the cone to minimize distortion for full range
applications.
THE RESULT: Controls excursion to minimize distortion.

–1–

◆ Polyetherimide (PEI) Tweeter
The Full Range Speakers use a polymer dome for controlled high
frequency reproduction. The PEI dome also exhibits a high stiffnessto-mass ratio which eliminates coloration of high frequencies.
THE RESULT: Controlled high frequency response.

◆ Magnetic Fluid Cooling
Magnetic fluid is a synthetic liquid consisting of microscopic magnetic particles. The fluid has four times the thermal conductivity as air
which makes it an ideal cooling agent. Magnetic fluid is injected into
the voice coil gap which helps dissipate heat generated by the voice
coil.
THE RESULT: A thermal conductor which allows increased power
handling.

◆ Phase Plug
The tweeters (except RFP-1469) incorporate a phase plug mounted
just above the tweeter dome. The Phase Plug controls the tweeter's
dispersion pattern and increases off-axis response for better imaging.
THE RESULT: Controls dispersion for better imaging.

INSTALLATION
Since some of these Full Range Speakers are most often used as direct
replacements for stock speakers and are shipped without grilles,
some of the following instructions will not apply. For custom installations see your Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer.
1. Determine where the speakers will be mounted. Ensure an area
large enough for the speaker to mount evenly. Be sure that the
mounting location is deep enough for the speaker to fit; if mounting
in a door, operate all functions (windows, locks, etc.) through their
entire operating range to ensure there is no obstruction.
2. Refer to the specification chart to determine the proper diameter
hole to cut for your speaker model.
3. Using the plastic mounting ring as a template, mark the locations
for the mounting screws. Drill the holes with a 1/8" bit.
4. Slip the screw clips over the holes that were just drilled with the flat
side on the outer face.
5. Feed the speaker wires through the cutout and the plastic mounting ring (from the flat side) and connect to the speaker terminals.
Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the wires. The
speaker's positive terminal is indicated with a dot.
6. Fit the ring and speaker to the cutout. Mount them using the
enclosed screws. Fit the grille inside the ring and press gently, but
firmly, into place.

INTRODUCTION
Ce manuel contient des informations sur la construction, l'installation et
le fonctionnement des haut-parleurs large bande. Nous vous proposons
de garder ce manuel pour tout référence future.
Les haut-parleurs large bande sont des haut-parleurs à deux voies conçus
pour améliorer les performances des haut-parleurs installés d'origine.
Leurs tailles étant prévues pour les emplacements les plus courants, les
haut-parleurs large bande constituent le premier pas dans l'amélioration
des systèmes d'origine.

INSTALLATION
Comme certains de ces haut-parleurs sont souvent utilisés directement
en remplacement des haut-parleurs d'origine et sont livrés sans grilles
certaines des recommandations suivantes ne s'appliqueront pas. Pour
des installations personnalisés voyez votre dealer agréé Rockford Fosgate.
1. Déterminer l'endroit où le haut-parleur sera monté. Assurez-vous que
cet endroit est suffisamment large et profond pour monter le hautparleur de manière équilibrée. Si le haut-parleur est monté dans une
porte assurez-vous que toutes les commodités de la porte fonctionnent
complètement et correctement sans que le haut-parleur ne leur fasse
obstruction (lève-vitre, verrouillage, etc.).
2. Reportez-vous au tableau des spécifications techniques pour
déterminer le bon diamètre de coupe du trou destiné au haut-parleur.
3. Utilisez l'anneau en plastique comme modèle et localisez
l'emplacement des vis. Préforez les trous avec une méche de 3 mm.
4. Glissez les clips à vis sur les trous que vous venez de forer en prenant
soins de mettre la face plate du clip vers l'extérieur du trou.
5. Faites passer les fils de connexion au travers du trou et de l'anneau en
plastique et connectez les aux bornes du haut-parleur. Veuillez à bien
observer les polarités. La borne positive du haut-parleur est marqué
avec un point.
6. Fixez l'anneau et le haut-parleur autour du trou avec les vis livrées.
Placez la grille dans l'anneau et poussez la fermement.

Si prega di leggere queste istruzioni per l'installazione del prodotto acquistato.

INTRODUZIONE
Questo manuale contiene informazioni sulla costruzione, installazione e
sul funzionamento degli altoparlanti a gamma intera Rockford Fosgate. Vi
raccomandiamo di conservare questo manuale per riferimento futuro.
Gli altoparlanti a gamma intera sono dei sistemi a due vie progettati per
esaltare le prestazioni dei sistemi hi-fi installati dai costruttori di automobili.
Dimensionati in modo da adattarsi a quasi tulle le predisposizioni delle
auto, questi altoparlanti consentono il primo passo per l'ingresso nel
mondo dell'hi-fi.

INSTALLAZIONE
Essendo gli altoparlanti a gamma estesa normalmente impiegati negli
alloggiamenti previsti dai costruttori delle auto ed essendo spediti senza
griglie, alcune delle indicazioni seguenti potrebbero non adattarsi al
Vostro caso. Per installazioni personalizzate contattate il Vostro installatore
autorizzato Rockford Fosgate.
1. Determinate la zona in cui installare gli altoparlanti. Assicuratevi che
lo spazio sia sufficiente ad un corretto posizionamento. Assicuratevi
anche che la profonditá sia sufficiente. Se l'installazione avviene in
una porta, controllate che tutte le parti meccaniche (meccanismi dei
vetri e chiusure centralizzate) possano funzionare nell'intero loro arco
operativo.
2. Fate riferimento alla tabella con le specifiche tecniche per determinare
il diametro del foro da praticare.
3. Impiegate l'anello in plastica di supporto della griglia come dima per
il posizionamento dei fori di fissaggio. Praticate fori da 3,5 mm.
4. Fissate le clips per le viti nelle posizioni in cui combaciano con i fori
e con il lato piatto verso la superficie di appoggio.
5. Passate i cavi attraverso il foro e l'anello in plastica della griglia e
collegateli all'altoparlante. Controllate la polaritá (il positivo
sull'altoparlante é indicato da un pallino).
6. Accostate l'anello e l'altoparlante al foro e, impiegando le viti a
dotazione, fissate il tutto. Inserite la griglia al proprio posto e premetela
con delicatezza, ma fermanente alla propria posizione.
