INTRODUCTION
The Audio
phile
(RFA-14x) and Power (RFR-14x) tweeters incorpo-
rate advanced features for use in high performance systems. The
Audio
phile
tweeter utilizes a silk dome for high quality high fre-
quency response while the Power tweeter implements a titanium
dome to withstand high powered conditions. Custom high frequency
dispersion is achievable with the tweeter's swivel mount design and
reliability is ensured by a protection circuit designed into the
supplied crossover.
TECHNICAL DESIGN FEATURES
– 2 –
Tweeter Features
◆Silk Dome (RFA)
The silk dome used in the Audio
phile
tweeter allows linear movement
of the diaphragm and voice coil assembly. The linear movement or
“symmetrical control” of the assembly provides smooth and well
extended high frequency response.
THE RESULT: Smooth response for “audiophile” sound quality.
◆Titanium Dome (RFR)
The titanium dome used in the Power tweeter allows the voice coil
assembly to efficiently dissipate heat. This feature allows the tweeter
to be driven at higher operating levels without sacrificing sound
quality.
THE RESULT: High power handling with excellent response.
◆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.
◆Magnetic Fluid Cooling
Magnetic fluid is a synthetic liquid consisting of microscopic mag-
netic 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.
– 3 –
◆Swivel Mount Design
The tweeter is encapsulated in a variable swivel housing. This design
allows direct dispersion of the tweeter in order to accommodate
various mounting positions. The swivel mount design allows the
tweeter to maximize its sonic potential.
THE RESULT: Precise tweeter imaging regardless of mounting posi-
tion.
Crossover Features
◆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. This greatly
increases the power handling capability and the reliability of the
tweeter.
THE RESULT: Increased tweeter reliability under harsh conditions.
◆Passive Filter Bypass
The TX-4183 utilizes an extra screw terminal on the crossover housing
which allows the tweeters audio signal to “bypass” the internal
passive filter. This feature allows an external active filter to be used
while maintaining optical compression for tweeter reliability.
THE RESULT: System flexibility with constant tweeter protection.
DESIGN FEATURES
– 4 –
1. Wire Mesh Grille - The Wire Mesh Grille protects the tweeter
diaphragm from foreign objects and curious fingers.
2. “+” Terminal - The “+” Terminal indicates the positive/plus
terminal of the tweeter. This terminal should be connected to the
positive output of the supplied crossover.
3. “–” Terminal – The “–” Terminal indicates the negative/minus
terminal of the tweeter. This terminal should be connected to the
negative output of the supplied crossover.
4. Variable Mount Logo – The Diamond “R” logo can be orientated
in its housing to accommodate vertical or horizontal crossover
mounting.
5. Input Screw Terminals – The Input Screw Terminals connect to the
outputs of the amplifier. These terminals accept bare wire or 1/4"
spade lugs and are gold plated to resist corrosion.
6. Input Protect Terminal – The Input Protect Terminal is connected
to the output of the amplifier and is used to bypass the internal
passive crossover. This configuration allows tweeter protection to
be maintained when utilizing an external crossover.
7. Output Screw Terminals – The Output Screw Terminals connect
to the input of the tweeter. These terminals accept bare wire or
1/4" spade lugs and are gold plated to resist corrosion.
8. Surface Mount Cup – This cup is used to “surface mount” the
tweeter on a panel.
9. Flush Mount Cup – This cup is used to recess or “flush mount” the
tweeter into a panel.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a list of tools you will need for the installation of your
speakers:
Power Drill with assorted bits Voltmeter
#2 Phillips Screwdriver Tape Measure
Hole Saw (2") 5/16" Nut Driver
– 5 –
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 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
computers, and other potential noise sources.
5. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from areas of extreme heat or
moisture.
Speakers
1. Make sure there is a flat area large enough for 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 for 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
decorative 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 environ-
ment. 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
high-frequency speakers will have a great effect on the sound quality
of your stereo system.
•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 within
2" to 7" from the midrange can cause
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 maximize the imaging (point source) capability
of the speakers. (Figure 2)
– 6 –
Figure 1
2" or less
Figure 2-A Figure 2-B
– 7 –
•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 align-
ment can cause severe amplitude and phase differences which
will degrade not only the imaging, but also the frequency re-
sponse. This is due to the path length differences between the
midrange and tweeter. Figure 2-B displays a vertical alignment
between the midrange and tweeter. With a vertical alignment, the
path length differences 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 differences will ensure the best staging
and imaging possible from your audio system.
