Installation Considerations
The following is a basic list of tools needed for installation:
This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing
your new source unit. Pre-planning your system layout and best wiring
routes will save installation time. When deciding on the layout of your
new system, be sure that each component will be easily accessible for
making adjustments.
If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed
by a qualified Rockford Audio technician.
Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent
damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before
attempting to install the unit.
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 unit in place.
4. Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high
current wires.
5. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize
signal or power loss.
6. 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.
7. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the
vehicle provides the best protection.
8. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber
or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal,
especially the firewall.
9. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with
proper fusing. Install the appropriate fuse holder and fuse on the
+12V power wire within 18” (45.7 cm) of the battery terminal.
10. When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from
the metal to ensure a good, clean ground connection. Grounding
connections should be as short as possible and always be connected
to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle.
Seatbelt bolts should never be used for connecting to ground.

Manual
Mounting (Using Mounting Plate)
To mount the unit, you will need to find a flat surface with adequate
clearance behind it that provides enough clearance for the unit and all it’s
necessary wiring.
1. Once you have determined a mounting location, you will need to cut
a circular hole 3” (77mm) in diameter.
2. After the hole is cut slide the unit and wiring through the hole.
3. Slide the mounting plate over the backside of the unit and secure with
the supplied screws.
4. Press on the trim bezel to the front side of the unit.
5. Plug in all wiring harnesses and cables. Refer to the wiring diagram
for wire harness connection types.
Mounting (Using U Bracket)
To mount the unit, you will need to find a flat surface with adequate
clearance behind it that provides enough clearance for the unit and all it’s
necessary wiring.
1. Once you have determined a mounting location, you will need to cut
a circular hole 3” (77mm) in diameter.
2. After the hole is cut slide the unit and wiring through the hole.
3. Take the U bracket and slide over the two studs on the back of the
unit. Tighten down with supplied nuts.
4. Press on the trim bezel to the front side of the unit.
5. Plug in all wiring harnesses and cables. Refer to the wiring diagram
