This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new Amplifier. 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.
CAUTION: If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed
by a qualified technician.
CAUTION: 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 Source 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.
!
!
7. Variable Crossover (Model 700X) Is a built-in 24dB/octave Butterworth filter selectable for
High-Pass (HP), All Pass (AP), or Low-Pass (LP) operation variable from 50Hz to 210Hz.
8.
High Level Inputs The high level inputs use a detachable connector terminated with 20 AWG
leads. These inputs should be used if the source unit has only speaker line (high level) outputs
and not RCA outputs.
9. RCA Input Jacks The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy connection for signal level
input. They are gold-plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion.
10. Signal Input Switch This switch allows the amplifier to be driven with either 2 or 4 pairs of
inputs.
11. RCA Pass-Thru Jacks The Pass-Thru provides a convenient source for daisy-chaining an
additional amplifier without running an extra set of RCA cables from the front of the vehicle to
the rear amplifier location.
12. Punch Bass (Model 700X) The Punch Bass control helps correct for acoustical deficiencies in
the listening environment by helping produce full range sound without adding excessive boost..
The Punch Bass control is a narrow band adjustment at 45Hz variable from 0dB to + 18dB.

TION
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.
MOUNTING LOCATIONS
The mounting position of your amplified subwoofer will have a great effect on the sound
performance produced.
Engine Compartment
Never mount this unit in the engine compartment. Mounting the unit in the engine compartment
will void your warranty.
Trunk Mounting
Mounting the amplifier vertically will provide the best cooling of the amplifier.
Mounting the amplifier on the floor of the trunk will work but provides less cooling capability than
vertical mounting.
Mounting the amplifier upside down to the rear deck of the trunk will not provide proper cooling
and will severely affect the performance of the amplifier and is strongly not recommended.
Passenger Compartment Mounting
Mounting the amplifier in the passenger compartment will work as long as you provide a sufficient
amount of air for the amplifier to cool itself. If you are going to mount the amplifier under the seat
of the vehicle, you must have at least 1" (2.54cm) of air gap around the amplifier's heatsink.
Mounting the amplifier with less than 1" (2.54cm) of air gap around the amplifier's heatsink in the
passenger compartment will not provide proper cooling and will severely affect the performance of
the amplifier and is strongly not recommended.
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 Rockford Fosgate 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.
2. Prepare the RED wire (power cable) for attachment to the amplifier by stripping 1/2" 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.
!

7
INSTALLA
TION
NOTE: The B+ cable MUST be fused 18" or less from the vehicle's battery. Install the fuseholder under
the hood and prepare the cable ends as stated above. Connections should be water tight.
3. Trim the RED wire (power cable) within 18" of the battery and strip1/2"of insulation from the
end of the wire. Cut the wire loop that is attached to the fuseholder in half and splice the fuse
into the power line using appropriate inline connectors. Use the section of cable that was
trimmed earlier and connect it to the other end of the fuseholder.
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.
DO NOT install the fuse at
this time.
5. Prepare the BLACK wire (Ground cable) for attachment to the amplifier by stripping 1/2" of
insulation from the end of the wire. Insert the bared wire into the GND 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.
6. Prepare the REM turn-on wire for connection to the amplifier by stripping 1/2" of insulation from
the wire end. Insert the bared wire into the REM terminal and tighten the set screw to secure the
cable into place. Connect the other end of the REM wire to a switched 12 volt positive source.
The switched voltage is usually taken from the source unit's accessory 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.
7. Securely mount the amplifier to the vehicle or amp rack. Be careful not to mount the amplifier
on cardboard or plastic panels. Doing so may enable the screws to pull out from the panel due
to road vibration or sudden vehicle stops.
8. Connect the source signal to the amplifier by plugging the RCA cables/high level inputs into the
input jacks at the amplifier.
9. Connect the speakers. Strip the speaker wires 1/2" and insert into the speaker terminal and
tighten the set screw to secure into place. Be sure to maintain proper speaker polarity. DO NOT
chassis ground any of the speaker leads as unstable operation may result.
10. Perform a final check of the completed system wiring to ensure that all connections are
accurate. Check all power and ground connections for frayed wires and loose connections
which could cause problems.
NOTE: Follow the diagrams for proper signal polarity.
CAUTION: These amplifiers are not recommended for impedance loads below 2
stereo and 4 bridged.

USING PASSIVE CROSSOVERS
A passive crossover is a circuit that uses capacitors and/or coils and is placed on speaker leads
between the amplifier and speaker. The crossover delegates a specific range of frequencies to the
speaker for optimum driver performance. A crossover network can perform one of three functions:
High-Pass (capacitors), Low-Pass (inductors or coils) and Bandpass (combination of capacitor and
coil).
The most commonly used passive crossover networks are 6dB/octave systems. These are easy to
construct and require one component per filter. Placing this filter in series with the circuit will
reduce power to the speaker by 6dB/octave above or below the crossover point depending on
whether it is a high-pass or low-pass filter. More complex systems such as 12dB/octave or
18dB/octave can cause impedance problems if not professionally designed.
Passive crossovers are directly dependent upon the speaker's impedance and component value for
accuracy. When passive crossover components are used in multiple speaker systems, the crossover's
effect on the overall impedance should be taken into consideration along with the speaker's
impedance when determining amplifier loads.
CAUTION: These amplifiers are not recommended for impedance loads below 2
stereo and 4 bridged.

OPERATION
PUNCH BASS (Model 700X Only)
1. Turn clockwise to add Punch to amplifier bass frequencies.
CAUTION: Overexcursion may occur at maximum boost, which may cause
damage to the woofer.
!
ADJUSTING GAIN
Do the following individually for each channel.
To adjust the gain setting, turn the amplifier gains all the way down. Turn the source unit volume up
until distortion is audible and then turn it down a bit until the distortion is inaudible. This will be
about two thirds all the way up on most source units. Next, turn the amplifier gain setting until once
again distortion is audible and then back it down until the distortion is inaudible. Rockford Fosgate
source units do not distort, so the volume can be used at maximum setting.
NOTE: For a more in depth setting procedure, contact Rockford Technical Support.
ADJUSTING CROSSOVER FREQUENCY
Models 300X & 500X
Placing the switch in the HP position sets the amplifier to the 120Hz High Pass mode, allowing only

TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: If you are having problems after installation follow the Troubleshooting procedures below.
Procedure 1: Check Amplifier for proper connections.
Verify that POWER light is on. If POWER light is on skip to Step 2, if not continue.
1. Check in-line fuse on battery positive cable. Replace if necessary.
2. Verify that Ground connection is connected to clean metal of the vehicles chassis.
Repair/replace if necessary.
3. Verify there is 10.5 - 15.5 Volts of current present at the positive battery and remote turn-on
cable. Verify quality connections for both cables at amplifier, stereo, and battery/fuseholder.
Repair/replace if necessary.
Procedure 2: Check Amplifier for audio output.
1. Verify good RCA/high-level input connections at stereo and amplifier. Check entire length of
cables for kinks, splices, etc. Test RCA/high-level inputs for AC current with stereo on.
Repair/replace if necessary.
2. Disconnect RCA/high-level input from amplifier. Connect RCA/high-level input from test stereo
directly to amplifier input.
Procedure 3: Check Amplifier if you experience Turn-on Pop.
1. Disconnect input signal to amplifier and turn amplifier on and off.
2. If the noise is eliminated, connect the REM lead of amplifier to source unit with a delay turn-on
module.

PARTICULARITÉS TECHNIQUES
1. Voyant d'alimentation à DEL La DEL s'allume lorsque l'appareil est allumé.
2. Borne REM Cette cosse à fourche permet d'allumer et d'éteindre à distance l'amplificateur
lorsqu'un courant de +12 V c.c. est envoyé.
3.
Bornes d'alimentation Les connexions d'alimentation et de masse de l'ampli sont plaquées or
et peuvent accueillir des câbles de calibre allant jusqu'à 8 AWG, ce qui permet de maximiser la
capacité de courant d'entrée de l'ampli.
4. Bornes de haut-parleur Les connecteurs robustes plaqués or des bornes (+ et -) acceptent des
câbles de calibre 8 à 18 AWG. Ces connecteurs plaqués or sont à l'épreuve de la corrosion qui
peut nuire au signal.
5. Dissipateur thermique en aluminium coulé Le dissipateur thermique en aluminium coulé de
l'amplificateur Power dissipe la chaleur générée par les circuits de l'amplificateur. L'avantage
intrinsèque du moulage est qu'il améliore de 30 % le refroidissement par rapport aux modèles
conventionnels de dissipateur thermique à extrusion.
6. Commande de gain La commande de gain d'entrée est préréglée de manière à correspondre à
la sortie de la plupart des unités source. Elle peut être réglée en fonction d'une variété d'unités
source.
7. Filtre interne (modèles 300X et 500X) Filtre de Butterworth intégré de 24 dB/octave pour
modes passe-haut (HP) 120 Hz, passe-tout (AP) ou passe-bas (LP) 80 Hz.

Cette section traite de points concernant le véhicule dont il faut tenir compte pour linstallation de
votre nouvel ampli. Vous sauverez du temps en planifiant à lavance la disposition du système et du
câblage. Assurez-vous, entre autres, que chaque composant du système est facilement accessible
pour les réglages.
MISE EN GARDE : si vous vous sentez incapable dinstaller lappareil vous-même,
confiez la tâche à un technicien qualifié.
MISE EN GARDE : avant d'entamer l'installation, déconnectez la broche négative (-)
de la batterie pour éviter tout risque de blessures, dincendie ou
de dommages à l'appareil.
Avant de commencer linstallation, suivez ces règles toutes simples :
1. Prenez soin de bien lire et comprendre les instructions avant dinstaller lappareil.
2. Par mesure de sécurité, veuillez débrancher le fil négatif de la batterie avant de commencer linstallation.
3. Pour faciliter le montage, nous vous suggérons de dérouler tous les fils avant dinstaller lappareil.
4. Acheminez tous les câbles RCA de façon groupée, à l’écart des fils à courant élevé.
5. Utilisez des connecteurs de haute qualité pour assurer une installation fiable et minimiser la perte de
signal ou de puissance.
6. Réfléchissez avant de percer quoique ce soit! Faites attention de ne pas couper ou percer le réservoir
dessence, les conduites de carburant, de frein, hydrauliques ou de dépression, ou le câblage électrique
lorsque vous travaillez sur un véhicule.

7. Filtre variable (modèle 700X) Filtre de Butterworth intégré de 24 dB/octave pour modes
passe-haut (HP), passe-tout (AP) ou passe-bas (LP) dont le point de fréquence peut varier de 50
Hz à 210 Hz.
8. Entrées haut niveau Les entrées haut niveau utilisent un connecteur détachable terminé par
des fils de calibre 20 AWG. Utilisez ces entrées si la source audio est dotée de sorties de ligne
(haut niveau) pour haut-parleur seulement et non pas de sorties RCA.
9. Prises d'entrée RCA Les prises RCA de norme industrielle permettent une connexion facile
pour les entrées de signaux. Elles sont plaquées or pour résister à la détérioration de signal due
à l'effet de la corrosion.
10. Commutateur d'entrée Ce commutateur permet d'alimenter l'amplificateur avec 2 ou 4 paires
d'entrées.
11. Extension ampli RCA L'extension ampli permet de connecter en guirlande un second ampli en
évitant d'acheminer des câbles RCA supplémentaires de l'avant du véhicule vers l'emplacement
de l'ampli arrière.
12. Basses Punch (Modèle 700X) La commande de basses Punch permet de corriger les faiblesses
acoustiques de l'environnement en produisant un son pleine gamme sans amplification
excessive. La commande de basses Punch permet un réglage à bande étroite sur 45 Hz pouvant
être ajusté de 0 dB à +18 dB.

INSTALLA
TION
7. Ne faites jamais passer les fils sous le véhicule. Il vaut mieux les installer à lintérieur du véhicule pour
assurer une meilleure protection.
8. Évitez de faire passer les fils par dessus ou à travers des bords tranchants. Tout fil acheminé à travers du
métal, un pare-feu en particulier, doit être protégé avec des bagues en caoutchouc ou plastique.
9. Protégez TOUJOURS la batterie et le circuit électrique des dommages potentiels à laide de fusibles.
Installez un porte-fusible et un fusible appropriés sur le câble dalimentation de +12 V à moins de 45,7 cm
(18 po) de la borne de batterie.
10. Préparez la masse du châssis en grattant toute trace de peinture de la surface métallique afin dassurer une
bonne mise à la masse. Les connexions de masse doivent être aussi courtes que possible et toujours
connectées à du métal soudé à la carrosserie ou au châssis du véhicule.
EMPLACEMENTS DE MONTAGE
Lemplacement de lampli influe grandement sur la qualité du son obtenu.
Compartiment moteur
Ne montez jamais cet appareil dans le compartiment moteur car cela entraînera lannulation de la
garantie.
Montage dans le coffre
Un montage vertical de lampli assure un refroidissement optimal.
Le montage de lampli sur le plancher du coffre est acceptable mais offre un refroidissement moindre que
le montage vertical.
Le montage de lampli à lenvers, sur la tablette arrière, nassure pas un refroidissement satisfaisant, nuit à
la performance de lampli et est, pas conséquent, fortement déconseillé.
Montage dans l’habitacle
Le montage de lampli dans lhabitacle passager est acceptable à condition quil reçoive suffisamment dair
pour se refroidir. Si vous comptez installer lampli sous le siège du véhicule, prévoyez un écartement dau
moins 2,54 cm (1 po) autour du dissipateur thermique de lampli.
Un écartement inférieur à cela nassure pas un refroidissement satisfaisant, nuit à la performance de lampli
et est, pas conséquent, fortement déconseillé.
BATTERIE ET CHARGE
Les amplificateurs exercent une charge accrue sur la batterie et le système de charge du véhicule. Nous vous
conseillons de vérifier l’état de lalternateur et de la batterie pour vous assurer que le système électrique puisse
supporter la charge accrue de votre système stéréo. Les systèmes électriques ordinaires en bon état sont
normalement capables de fournir sans problème la charge supplémentaire requise par les amplis Rockford
Fosgate. Toutefois, la durée de vie de la batterie et de lalternateur peut sen trouver affectée légèrement. Pour
maximiser la performance de votre ampli, nous vous suggérons dutiliser une batterie à usage intensif et un
condensateur de stockage d’énergie.
CÂBLAGE DU SYSTÈME
MISE EN GARDE : si vous ne vous sentez pas à laise pour effectuer vous-même le câblage de votre
nouvel appareil, veuillez confier linstallation à votre distributeur agréé Rockford
Fosgate.
MISE EN GARDE : avant d'entamer l'installation, déconnectez la broche négative (-) de la batterie
pour éviter tout risque de blessures, dincendie ou de dommages à l'appareil.
MISE EN GARDE : évitez de faire passer les fils dalimentation près des câbles dentrée bas niveau,
de lantenne, des câbles d'alimentation, des équipements ou faisceaux sensibles.
Les fils dalimentation transportent un courant élevé et peuvent produire du bruit
dans le système audio.
1. Planifiez lacheminement des fils. Gardez les câbles RCA ensemble mais en les isolant des câbles
dalimentation de lampli et des autres accessoires automobiles de forte puissance, particulièrement les
moteurs électriques, pour éviter que le signal audio ne subisse d'interférence de bruit provenant de champs
de rayonnement électriques. Si vous faites passer les fils par un pare-feu ou autre barrière métallique,
protégez-les à laide de bagues en caoutchouc ou en plastique pour éviter les courts-circuits. Conservez toute
la longueur des fils pour linstant. Vous lajusterez plus tard.
