CTA-2031
Power handling on Rockford Fosgate speakers conform to CEA-2031 industry standards. This means your speaker has the capacity to handle
power under continuous demand, not instantaneous power handling that over time can damage voice coils.
VERIFIED WITH KLIPPEL
To adorn the ‘Verified with Klippel’ mark, the qualifying company’s loudspeaker engineering personnel must be trained and certified by
Klippel prior to using the three separate Klippel systems to design, develop and test. Rockford Fosgate has made the investment in Klippel to
deliver the best possible speakers and subwoofers to their customers.
3Contents Installation Considerations
Contents Installation Considerations
• (2) TMS14-57 Speakers Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:
• (2) Self-Adhesive Diamond-R Badges 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.
Mounting
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 “+”.
5. 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.

6. Zip-tie the secondary tweeter connector to the speaker harness.
This connector was previously used for the factory tweeter, but is no
longer required because only one output is needed to drive both the
midrange and tweeter on the TMS14-57 speaker. (Fig. 3)
