Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:
1.
Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to
install these speakers.
2.
For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the
installation.
3.
For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your speakers
in place.
4.
Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or
power loss.
5.
Think before you drill!
Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines,
brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any
vehicle. If installation in a boat, take care not to cut 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 rubber or plastic
grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.
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. Cutting and mounting templates can be found at
www.rockfordfosgate.com.
3.
Mark the locations for the mounting screws. Drill the holes with a 1/8" bit.
4.
Feed the speaker wires through the cutout 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 "+".
5a. On models with slotted holes, fit the speaker into the cutout and install the
screws in the slots at the top and bottom.This will allow you to rotate the speak-
er to match the remaining mounting holes.When aligned, tighten the screws.
5b. On models with a trim ring, fit the trim ring over the speaker and mount into
place using four (4) screws.
6.
Tighten the screws until the speaker is snug in place to prevent rattling. Do not
over tighten the screws.
NOTE: For T142, T1462, T152, T1S652, T1652 and T1572 only, if needed use
the adapter plate provided to mount the speaker. See Adapter Plate
Templates at the end of this manual.

Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100dB may
cause permanent hearing loss. High powered auto sound systems
may produce sound pressure levels well over 130dB. Use common
sense and practice safe sound.
