Tweeter
1. 3/4" Silk Dome Tweeter – To ensure accurate high frequency reproduction, the
tweeter dome must be both light and strong. The Fanatic X Component Systems
use a silk dome that has extremely low mass and high strength for smooth high
frequency reproduction.
2. Ferrofluid Cooling – This synthetic fluid is held in place in the magnetic gap. It
bathes the voice coil allowing higher power handling and greater reliability.
3. Neodymium Magnet – What good would a tweeter be if it was too big to mount
in your favorite spot? The Fanatic Component Systems use a highly efficient
neodymium magnet to enable a very small tweeter to have very big performance.
–2–

D ESIGN F EATURES
Midrange
4. Rubber Surround – The durable rubber surround withstands the
extremes of the automotive environment. It also improves sound quality
by reducing 2nd and 3rd order harmonics and provides wider frequency
response.
5. Mica Filled Polypropylene Cone – The ideal cone material would be
infinitely strong, very light and would have very high damping to ensure
great sound quality. The Fanatic X Series Component Systems use a
mica filled polypropylene cone that is strong, light and has high internal
damping to provide excellent reproduction of sound.
6. Cupped Spider – The spider has the job of centering the voice coil and
providing the rear suspension for the speaker. The Fanatic X Component
Systems use a durable cupped spider to ensure great sound with long
life and durability.
7. Large 1" Voice Coil with Anodized Aluminum Former – Just like all
Rockford Fosgate woofers, all Fanatic Component System midrange
drivers use an aluminum voice coil former for more efficient dissipation
of heat. Dissipating the heat is key to long life and high power handling,
so go ahead and crank it up!
8. Vented Pole Piece – The pole piece extends from the back of the speaker
into the voice coil area. The Fanatic X Component System uses a vented
pole piece to allow cool air to circulate in the voice coil gap which allows
greater power handling and increased reliability.
Crossover
9. 2 Way Butterworth Crossover – Features an 18dB per octave high-pass
crossover for the tweeter and a 6dB low-pass crossover for the midrange.
The steeper slope of the tweeter crossover gives better power handling.
The low-pass crossover provides a seamless transition between tweeter
and midrange.
10. Optical Compression – This built-in protection circuit limits power to the
tweeter when the “danger” threshold is exceeded. Because it simply
limits power and doesn't shut the tweeter off, this circuit is completely
inaudible.
11. Gold-Plated Screw Terminals – Terminals plated in gold for maximum
resistance to corrosion to ensure great sound for years to come. These
terminals accept bare wire or 1/4" spade lug connectors.
12. 0dB/–3dB Tweeter Pad – In some installations, you may find that the
tweeter location is much closer to your ears than the midrange. This pad
allows you to match the tweeter level to the midrange for the best
balance.

Tools Needed
The following is a list of some of the tools necessary for the installation of your
speakers.
Power Drill with assorted bits
Tape Measure

#2 Phillips Screwdriver
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 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 an 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 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 decorative
finish to the installation and to provide an easy upgrade (no new wires to
run) for a bi-amp Rockford Fosgate system in the future.

M OUNTING L OCATION
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
2" or less
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
Figure 1
cause destructive interference (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 maximizes the imaging (point source) capability of the speakers.
(Figure 2)

Figure 2-A

Figure 2-B

–5–

• 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 alignment 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. Figure 2-B displays a vertical alignment between the
midrange and tweeter. With a vertical alignment, the path length difference
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 FNX-1404, cut an 90.48mm (39⁄16") diameter hole
• For the FNX-1405, cut a 113.50mm (415⁄32") diameter hole
• For the FNX-1406F, cut a 127mm (5") diameter hole
• For the FNX-1406, cut a 139.06mm (51⁄2") 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. Place the mounting ring over the hole.
6. Attach the wires and be sure to observe the proper speaker polarity.
7. Place the speaker into the hole and screw the speaker into place. Be
careful not to bend the speaker frame during this step.
8. Press the speaker grille into the mounting ring.

Bandpassing the Midrange
• The Fanatic Component Systems are optimized for full range music reproduction. In cases where a subwoofer is used, the midrange can be bandpassed in
order to prevent overlapping frequencies from the midrange into the
subwoofer.
1.Determine the frequency range that the subwoofer 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
