INSTALLATION

BATTERY AND CHARGING

Amplifiers will put an increased load on the vehicle's battery and charging system.We recommend

checking your alternator and battery condition to ensure that the electrical system has enough capacity to

handle the increased load of your stereo system. Stock electrical systems which are in good condition

should be able to handle the extra load of any Punch Series amplifier without problems, although battery

and alternator life can be reduced slightly.To maximize the performance of your amplifier, we suggest the

use of a heavy duty battery and an energy storage capacitor.

WIRING THE SYSTEM

CAUTION: If you do not feel comfortable with wiring your new unit, please see your

local Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer for installation.

CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent

damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.

CAUTION: Avoid running power wires near the low level input cables, antenna, power

leads, sensitive equipment or harnesses.The power wires carry substantial

current and could induce noise into the audio system.

1. Plan the wire routing. Keep RCA cables close together but isolated from the amplifier's power cables

and any high power auto accessories, especially electric motors.This is done to prevent coupling the

noise from radiated electrical fields into the audio signal.When feeding the wires through the firewall

or any metal barrier, protect them with plastic or rubber grommets to prevent short circuits. Leave

the wires long at this point to adjust for a precise fit at a later time.

NOTE: We recommend a 10 AWG wire for use on the power (B+) and ground (GND) connections.

2. Prepare the RED wire (power cable) for attachment to the

amplifier by stripping 3/8" of insulation from the end of the wire.

Insert the bared wire into the B+ terminal and tighten the set

screw to secure the cable in place.

NOTE: The B+ cable MUST be fused 18" or less from the vehicle's

battery. Install the fuseholder under the hood and ensure

connections are water tight.

3. Trim the RED wire (power cable) within 18" of the battery and

splice in a inline fuse holder (not supplied). See Specifications for

the rating of the fuse to be used. DO NOT install the fuse at

this time.

4. Strip 1/2" from the battery end of the power cable and crimp a large ring terminal to the cable. Use

the ring terminal to connect to the battery positive terminal.

5. Prepare the BLACK wire (Ground cable) for attachment to the amplifier by stripping 3/8" of

insulation from the end of the wire. Insert the bare wire into the GROUND terminal and tighten the

set screw to secure the cable in place. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any paint from the

metal surface and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease. Strip the other end of the wire and

attach a ring connector. Fasten the cable to the chassis using a non-anodized screw and a star washer.

NOTE: Keep the length of the BLACK wire (Ground) as short as possible.Always less than

30"(76.2cm).

6. Prepare the Remote turn-on wire for for attachment to the amplifier by stripping 3/8" of insulation

from the end of the wire. Insert the bared wire into the REMOTE terminal and tighten the set screw

to secure the wire in place. Connect the other end of the Remote wire to a switched 12 volt positive

source.The switched voltage is usually taken from the source unit's remote amp on lead. If the source

unit does not have this output available, the recommended solution is to wire a mechanical switch in

line with a 12 volt source to activate the amplifier.
