IN TRO D U C TIO N  
In today’s vehicles, space for everything is at a premium. Many times, the  
space that car designers dedicate for the stereo system is an afterthought.  
Rockford Fosgate realizes that people who want stereo systems in their  
vehicles have to contend with these real world problems. Our solution is  
the Punch Splits High Definition Component Systems. Punch Splits  
speakers are designed to fit in factory locations of vehicles with little  
modification while providing the awesome sound quality people have  
come to expect from Rockford Fosgate.  
1 –  
TECHNICAL DESIGN FEATURES  
Midrange Features  
PVA Treated Cone  
The lightweight paper cones are treated with PVA (PolyVinyl Acetate) for  
environmental stability and increased rigidity. This treatment promotes  
smooth midrange performance and low frequency extension free of  
distortion.  
THE RESULT: Strong and lightweight high performance cones.  
Vented Pole Piece  
The vented pole piece by design, ensures proper ventilation to cool the  
voice coil and maintains lower operating temperatures. This increases the  
thermal power handling of the speaker.  
THE RESULT: Improves power handling by cooling the voice coil.  
High Temperature Voice Coil  
The voice coil used in the Punch Series is of a high temperature copper  
wire construction. The wire is wound in two layers on a black anodized  
aluminum voice coil former. The voice coil former dissipates heat away  
from the voice coil improving the speaker’s thermal stability and improv-  
ing the reliability of the speaker.  
THE RESULT: Improves reliability by dissipating generated heat.  
Nitrile Rubber Surround  
The nitrile material is resilient to temperature variations and provides a  
consistent support necessary for the linear motion of the speaker cone. In  
addition, the inherent damping capabilities eliminates the transmission of  
degrading sonic disturbances between the cone and the frame of the  
speaker greatly improving the clarity of the speaker’s midrange frequency  
response.  
THE RESULT: Improves speaker's frequency response.  
2 –  
Tweeter Features  
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 magnetic  
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.  
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 position.  
Crossover Features  
Adjustable Tweeter Level Matching  
The passive crossovers utilize a series power resistor for tweeter level  
matching. The factory set tweeter output level is 0dB, however can be  
reduced –3dB to create a smoother transition between the midrange and  
tweeter. The ability to level match allows the system to be custom “tuned”  
for a particular listener or setup.  
THE RESULT: Allows custom setup of tweeter output level.  
– 3 –  
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-4186 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.  
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS  
Since many of the Punch Splits speakers are designed for direct replace-  
ment in factory speaker locations, some of the following instructions will  
not apply. To maximize the performance in difficult or custom installa-  
tions, please see your Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer.  
Warning! Please read the entire Installation section before attempting the  
installation of your Punch Splits Speakers.  
Tools Needed  
The following is a list of some of the tools necessary for the installation of  
the Punch Splits speakers.  
Power Drill with assorted bits  
Volt Meter  
Wire Strippers  
Wire Crimpers  
Marking Pen  
Hole Saw Arbor  
Assorted Hole Saws  
(Midrange)  
Assorted Screwdrivers

Placing the Punch Splits Speakers  
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 Punch Splits speakers will  
have a great effect on the sound quality of your stereo system. The special  
care taken to place the Punch Splits speakers, will yield many hours of  
listeningenjoymentin return. Severalimportantrecommendationsshould  
be followed.

Place the speakers where they have  
a direct path to the listening area.  
When using the Punch Splits, there  
are two options for speaker place-  
ment between the midrange and  
tweeter. For the best integration be-  
tween the midrange and tweeter,  
the tweeter should be placed less  
than 2"from the midrange. (Figure 1)  
If you cannot place the tweeter less  
O
N
2" or less  
Figure 1  
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 prob-  
lems) which will affect the speakers ability to reproduce the  
frequency range around the crossover frequency of the Punch  
Splits system.  
Whenever possible, place the tweeter directly above or below  
the midrange as this maximizes the imaging (point source)  
capability of the Punch Splits speakers. (Figure 2)  
Figure 2-A  
Figure 2-B  
Soundradiatedfromapointsourcehasthemostoptimumstereo imaging  
because the separation ofthe acousticalcentersbetween the midrange  
and tweeter for each channel is at the optimum. Figure 2-Adescribes  
a horizontal speaker alignment. In a closed environment such as an  
automobile, horizontal speaker alignment can cause severe ampli-  
tude 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 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 regard-  
less of the proximity of the listener to the speakers. Mounting the

IN STALLAT I O N  
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 checkthe operation ofthe rearhatch ortrunklid. Make sure  
the tension bars and other moving parts are not obstructed by the  
speakersinstallation.  
Refer to the Specifications section of the manual for the mounting depth  
and proper diameter hole to cut for the Punch Splits speakers.  
Mounting the Midrange  
1. Cut the proper size hole for the midrange/woofer.  
2. Place the mounting ring over the mounting hole and mark the location  
of the screw mounting holes.

INTRODUZIONE  
Negli autoveicoli di oggi non c'é molto spazio. Molte volte i progettisti di  
automobili si accorgono solo a vettura ultimata che mancano gli spazi per  
gli impianti stereo. Rockford Fosgate é conscia del fatto che la gente che  
vuole realizzare degli impianti stereo sulle properie autovetture deve  
affrontare questo problema. La soluzione che proponiamo consiste nel  
Punch Splits High Definition Component Systems. Gli altoparlanti Punch  
Splits sono ideati per essere installati, con piccole modifiche, negli spazi  
predisposti per gli impianti, riuscendo cosí a riprodurre la grandiosa  
qualitá del suono che la gente si aspetta da Rockford Fosgate.  
POSIZIONAMENTO  
Per ottenere la migliore integrazione  
tra tweeter e midrange vi suggeriamo  
di posizionare i due componenti a  
meno di 5 cm tra loro (fig. 1).
