Rockford Fosgate PCH-14X - Manual (Page 9)

Mounting the Midrange
Punch Splits speakers with minimum path length differences will
ensure the best staging and imaging possible from your audio
system.
The mounting of the Punch Splits speakers and crossovers is just as
important as choosing the location for the speakers. Improper installation
will degrade the sound quality and reduce the reliability of the Punch
Splits speakers. To maximize the performance of your speakers, the
following criteria should be considered.
• After choosing possible locations for the speakers, it is important to
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
frame of the speaker is bent during the installation.
• Check to see that the location is deep enough for the speaker and
the location does not interfere with the normal operation of the
vehicle.
• When mounting the speakers in the door of a vehicle, special care
should be taken to make sure the speaker/s do not interfere with
either the window operation or the door opening and closing. (Be
careful of the tension bar in the door.)
• When mounting the speakers on the rear deck of the vehicle,
double check the operation of the rear hatch or trunk lid. Make sure
the tension bars and other moving parts are not obstructed by the
speakers’ installation.
Refer to the Specifications section of the manual for the mounting depth
and proper diameter hole to cut for the Punch Splits speakers.
