Rockford Fosgate M2 Series Tweeter Kit
Looking for extra definiton? Rockford Fosgate's M2 Series 1" high-efficiency tweeters are designed to integrate with Color Optix full-range speakers for added oomph in the high frequencies. You'll also get a concealed built-in 18dB/oct crossover to filter out those unwanted frequencies and give you nothing but the crystal-clear sound you've been looking for.
Element Ready™
The rugged tweeters can endure years in the sun and spray and still look great. And Rockford Fosgate also includes flush-mount and horn-mount bezels, designed for life on the water.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Why is my M2-TS tweeter producing static or a faint hiss?
A constant hiss can point to amplifier gain, signal noise, grounding, or wiring rather than the tweeter itself. Users with Rockford tweeter systems have reported similar noise after installation, so checking the signal path is a good first step.
- • Why does the M2-TS sound too bright in my boat or UTV?
The M2-TS is designed to deliver strong high-frequency output, with a 97 dB sensitivity and a frequency range extending to 25 kHz. If the highs seem excessive, adjusting the amplifier or DSP EQ may provide a better balance.
- • Can I install the M2-TS directly into any panel?
Not without checking the available space. The flush-mount installation requires a 1.75-inch hole, and Rockford recommends confirming sufficient mounting depth and clearance behind the panel before cutting.
- • Why is one M2-TS louder than the other?
Uneven output can result from different gain settings, polarity, wiring resistance, signal routing, or an installation problem. Swap the left and right signal connections to help determine whether the issue follows the tweeter or the amplifier channel.
- • Can the M2-TS handle a powerful marine amplifier?
Yes, the M2-TS is rated for 200 watts RMS and 800 watts peak, but the amplifier still needs to be configured correctly. Excessive gain or clipping can damage a tweeter even when the amplifier's rated power appears suitable.
- • Why does my tweeter work but sound weak?
A weak M2-TS can be caused by incorrect crossover settings, reduced signal level, poor connections, or wiring polarity. The built-in 18 dB/octave high-pass crossover is intended to keep damaging low frequencies away from the tweeter.
- • Can I mount the M2-TS in a door without hitting the window mechanism?
It depends on the vehicle or enclosure. Rockford specifically recommends operating the window and other door functions through their complete range before securing a flush-mounted M2-TS to ensure nothing interferes with the tweeter.
- • What if I don't want to cut a large hole for the tweeter?
The M2-TS supports both flush and horn mounting, giving installers another mounting approach when a flush installation is impractical. The included dual-clamp system is designed to secure the tweeter to the mounting surface.
- • Why does the M2-TS sound different after changing amplifiers?
Changing amplifier power, gain, crossover points, or processing can noticeably alter tweeter output. A setup that sounds harsh or unusually quiet should be checked for proper gain and high-pass configuration before assuming the speaker is defective.
- • Is the M2-TS suitable for outdoor and marine installations?
Yes. The M2-TS is built as a marine-grade tweeter with a rubber surround, stainless-steel mounting hardware, and a neodymium motor structure. Its 4-ohm impedance and high sensitivity also make it suitable for systems where strong output is important.
