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.

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. – 3 –

ONSIDERATIONS

Tools Needed

The following is a list of some of the tools necessary for the installation of your

speakers.

Power Drill with assorted bits #2 Phillips Screwdriver

Tape Measure 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.

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 recommenda-

tions 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

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

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 1

2" or less

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.

• The Fanatic Component Systems are optimized for full range music reproduc-

tion. 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
