2025 Punch Speaker Twist-Lock - Advisory

Smaller "Punch V2" speakers utilize a newer "Twist-Lock" FLWR (Factory Location Woofer Ring) that facilitates installation in tight OEM locations.  

MODELS AFFECTED

• P1V2-25, P1V2-3, P1V2-4, P1V2-5
• P3V2-25, P3V2-69C2, P3V2-69C3

MOUNTING DEPTH
There are three (4) different "Mounting Depth" dimensions available in the owner's manual and the product details page "Specifications" tab.  Smaller speakers with a "Twist-Lock" mounting ring have a Front & Rear Mounting Depth, whereas larger speakers with a traditional mounting ring have a standard Mounting Depth, but illustrate the depth with and without the detachable motor cover.

• Rear-Loading Depth: This is the mounting depth of the speaker assembly when inserting the speaker from the rear (underneath) the Twist-Lock.
• Front-Loading Depth: This is the mounting depth of the speaker assembly when inserting the speaker from the front (above) the Twist-Lock.
• Mounting Depth (with motor cover): This is the mounting depth of a traditional speaker with the motor cover installed.
• Mounting Depth (no motor cover): This is the mounting depth of a traditional speaker without the motor cover.

INSTALLATION
Speakers using the Twist-Lock (FLWR) ring can be loaded from the rear or the front, but have different mounting depth values based on the orientation of the ring.
