accommodate up to 1/0 AWG wire maximizing the input current capability of the amplifier.

INSTALLATION

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 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.

MOUNTING LOCATIONS

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 adequate cooling of the amplifier.

Mounting the amplifier on the floor of the trunk will provide the best cooling of the amplifier.

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.

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 Power 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.

2. Prepare the RED wire (power cable) for attachment to the amplifier by stripping 5/8" 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.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 5/8" 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 5/8" 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.

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.

Power

Connection

8. Connect from source signal by plugging the RCA cables into the input jacks at the amplifier.

CAUTION:Always ensure power is off or disconnected at the amplifier before

connecting RCA cables.Failure to do so may cause injury, damage to the

amplifier and/or connected components.

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.

WARNING:RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Use extreme caution when handling or

making speaker connections.The voltage at the speaker terminals can cause

injury or death.Always ensure the amplifier is off or disconnected from

power prior to making any type of speaker connection.

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.Install inline fuse near battery connection.

NOTE:Follow the diagrams for proper signal polarity.

INFRASONIC FILTER

Placing the switch to "ON" engages a 28Hz infrasonic filter limiting the amount of low frequency

information going to the woofer.Set this to your personal preference while listening to the system one

way, then the other.

NOTE:We recommend using the infrasonic filter when using vented enclosures with this amplifier.

MODE SWITCH

Used to set the amplifier between single ,for single amplifier use,and Master or Slave for when connecting

multiple bd amplifiers together.

The first amplifier in the series being set as Master and the subsequent amplifiers being set as Slave.This

allows one gain,crossover,infrasonic filter and bass boost setting for all slaved amplifiers.

The gain on the subsequent (Slave) amplifiers can be used for fine-tuning.

A maximum of 100 bd amplifiers can be connected together using this method.

ADJUSTING GAIN

To adjust the gain setting,turn the amplifier gains all the way down (counter-clockwise).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 all the way up on most source units.Next,increase the amplifier gain setting until adequate volume is

achieved.Rockford Fosgate source units do not distort,so the volume can be used at maximum setting.

NOTE:Best signal to noise and dynamic range are realized with the gain at minimum.Most users find

adequate gain and volume is achieved at about halfway in the adjustment range.

CAUTION:Avoid setting the amplifier gain very high as noise and distortion will

increase significantly.

NOTE:For a more in depth setting procedure,contact Rockford Technical Support.

ADJUSTING CROSSOVER FREQUENCY

The crossover frequency can be adjusted between 32-250Hz.The crossover is set to LP (Low Pass)

operation only.

Turn the crossover adjustment knob all the way down.With the system playing, turn the crossover

adjustment knob up slowly until the desired crossover point is achieved.

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 3, if not continue.

1. Check in-line fuse on battery positive cable.Replace if necessary.

2. Check fuse(s) on amplifier.Replace if necessary.

3. Verify that Ground connection is connected to clean metal on the vehicle’s chassis.Repair/replace if

necessary.

4. Verify there is 10.5 - 15.5 Volts 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: Protect or Thermal light is on.

1. If the Protect light is on,this is a sign of a possible short in the speaker connections.Check for

proper speaker connections and use an ohm meter to check for possible shorts in the speaker wiring.

Too low of a speaker impedance may also cause Protect to light.

2. If the Thermal light is on, this is usually a sign of driving the amplifier at very high power levels without

adequate airflow around the amplifier.Shut off the system and allow to cool. Check for proper

speaker impedance,rewire if needed. Low battery voltage may also cause Thermal to light. Check that

the vehicle charging system is maintaining proper voltage.If the previous items do not solve the

problem,a fault may be in the amplifier, call customer service for support.

Procedure 3: Check Amplifier for audio output.

1. Verify good RCA input connections at stereo and amplifier. Check entire length of cables for kinks,

splices,etc.Test RCA inputs for AC volts with stereo on. Repair/replace if necessary.

2. Disconnect RCA input from amplifier.Connect RCA input from test stereo directly to amplifier input.

Procedure 4: 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 REMOTE lead of amplifier to source unit with a delay turn-on

module.

1. Use a different 12 Volt source for REMOTE lead of amplifier (i.e. battery direct).

2. If the noise is eliminated,use a relay to isolate the amplifier from noisy turn-on output.

Procedure 5: Check Amplifier if you experience excess Engine Noise.

1. Route all signal carrying wires (RCA, Speaker cables) away from power and ground wires.

2. Bypass any and all electrical components between the stereo and the amplifier(s).Connect stereo

directly to input of amplifier. If noise goes away the unit being bypassed is the cause of the noise.

3. Remove existing ground wires for all electrical components. Reground wires to different locations.

Verify that grounding location is clean, shiny metal free of paint,rust etc.

4. Add secondary ground cable from negative battery terminal to the chassis metal or engine block of

vehicle.

5. Have alternator and battery load tested by your mechanic.Verify good working order of vehicle

electrical system including distributor,spark plugs,spark plug wires,voltage regulator etc.

1. DEL d'alimentation (au-dessus de l'appareil) – Cette DEL bleue s'illumine lorsque l'appareil est

allumé.

2. DEL thermique (au-dessus de l'appareil) – Cette DEL rouge s'illumine si l'ampli atteint le troisième

niveau de protection thermique. Si cela se produit,l'ampli s'éteint pour refroidir.

3. DEL de protection (au-dessus de l'appareil) - Cette DEL jaune s'illumine si un court-circuit ou une

impédance trop basse est détecté au niveau des connexions de haut-parleur.L'ampli s'éteint

automatiquement si cela se produit.

4. Fusibles - Ces fusibles ANL sont facilement accessibles en cas de défaillance.Remplacez toujours les

fusibles par des fusibles de type et de capacité identiques.Voir les Spécifications en ce qui concerne la

capacité des fusibles.

5. Refroidissement par convection en 3 étapes – Le dispositif thermique à 3 étapes consiste en un

ventilateur variable à 3 vitesses,un plénum de carte de circuits imprimés intégré et une distribution

thermique de masse concentrée utilisant un dissipateur thermique en aluminium coulé hautement

efficace.Cette technologie de conception supérieure permet de refroidir les composants internes de

l'amplificateur,de maximiser le potentiel de l'ampli,de réduire la distorsion et d'accroître l'efficacité.

6. Bornes de haut-parleur - Les connecteurs de fil robustes nickelés (+ et -) acceptent des câbles de

calibre 8 à 18 AWG.Les sorties de haut-parleur A et B sont câblées en parallèle à l'interne.

PARTICULARITÉS TECHNIQUES

AVERTISSEMENT : RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE.Soyez très prudent lorsque

vous manipulez ou effectuez des connexions de haut-parleur.La

tension au niveau des bornes de haut-parleur peut entraîner des

blessures ou la mort.Veillez toujours à ce que l'ampli soit éteint ou

débranché avant d'effectuer une connexion quelconque sur les

haut-parleurs.

7. Télécommande de basses – La connexion de télécommande de basses Para-Punch se fait à l'aide d'un

câble RJ-45 et peut être effectuée de différentes façons de manière à permettre un accès facile.Une

commande permet d'amplifier les signaux de basse fréquence de façon à couvrir le bruit de la route et

vous en mettre plein les oreilles.Ce bouton de contrôle des basses permet un réglage sur bande étroite

de 0 dB à +18 dB,et comporte un EQ Punch pour éliminer le déplacement de fréquence produit par

l'amplification.L'autre commande sert à régler la variable de fréquence centrale de 35 Hz à 70 Hz.

8. Filtre infrasonique – Filtre passe-haut 28 Hz conçu pour empêcher la transmission,de l'ampli au

subwoofer,des fréquences inférieures à la plage sonore.Par conséquent,cela améliore le rendement et la

puissance du subwoofer,particulièrement dans les enceintes à évent.

9. 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.

10. Filtre variable – Filtre Butterworth intégré de 24 dB/octave dont le point de fréquence varie entre 32

Hz et 250 Hz.Le filtre est réglé sur passe-bas (LP).

11. Sélecteur de mode – Permet de régler l'ampli en mode simple (utilisation d'un seul ampli),et maître ou

esclave en cas de connexion de plusieurs amplis bd.Le premier ampli de la série est défini comme maître

et les autres comme esclaves. Ceci permet de définir un seul et même réglage de gain,de filtre passif,de

filtre infrasonique et d'amplification des basses pour tous les amplis esclaves.

12. Commutateur de phase – Utilisé lorsqu'on ponte deux amplis bd ensemble (se partageant une charge

commune) à l'aide d'un câble Sync bd pour déphaser un amplificateur de l'autre de 180°.

13. Connexion bd Sync – Ces amplis sont dotés d'un connecteur mini-DIN à 6 broches.Le câble bd Sync

doit être utilisé lorsqu'on utilise deux amplis en mode ponté.Cela permet de synchroniser les deux

générateurs de fréquence indépendants de chaque appareil.

14. Prises d'entrée RCA - Les prises RCA de norme industrielle permettent une connexion facile pour les

entrées de signaux.Elles sont nickelées de façon à résister à la détérioration de signal due à l'effet de la

corrosion.

15. 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.

16. Borne REM - Ce connecteur de fil robuste plaqué de platine accepte des câbles de calibre 12 à 24

AWG.Cette borne permet d'allumer et d'éteindre à distance l'amplificateur lorsqu'un courant de +12 V

c.c.est envoyé.

17. Bornes d'alimentation - Les connexions d'alimentation et de masse de l'ampli sont plaquées de platine

et peuvent accueillir des câbles de calibre allant jusqu'à 1/0 AWG,ce qui permet de maximiser la capacité

de courant d'entrée de l'ampli.

INSTALLATION

Cette section traite de points concernant le véhicule dont il faut tenir compte pour l’installation de votre nouvel

ampli.Vous sauverez du temps en planifiant à l’avance 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 d’installer l’appareil 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,d’incendie ou

de dommages à l'appareil.

Avant de commencer l’installation,suivez ces règles toutes simples :

1. Prenez soin de bien lire et comprendre les instructions avant d’installer l’appareil.

2. Par mesure de sécurité,veuillez débrancher le fil négatif de la batterie avant de commencer l’installation.

3. Pour faciliter le montage,nous vous suggérons de dérouler tous les fils avant d’installer l’appareil.

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

d’essence, les conduites de carburant, de frein, hydrauliques ou de dépression,ou le câblage électrique

lorsque vous travaillez sur un véhicule.

7. Ne faites jamais passer les fils sous le véhicule.Il vaut mieux les installer à l’intérieur 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 l’aide de fusibles. Installez

un porte-fusible et un fusible appropriés sur le câble d’alimentation 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 d’assurer 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

Compartiment moteur

Ne montez jamais cet appareil dans le compartiment moteur.Cela entraînerait l’annulation de la garantie.

Montage dans le coffre

Un montage vertical de l'ampli assure un refroidissement adéquat.

Le montage de l'ampli sur le plancher du coffre assure un refroidissement optimal.

Le montage de l'ampli à l'envers, sur la tablette arrière,assure un refroidissement adéquat.

Montage dans l’habitacle

Le montage de l’ampli dans l’habitacle passager est acceptable à condition qu’il reçoive suffisamment d’air

pour se refroidir.Si vous comptez installer l’ampli sous le siège du véhicule, prévoyez un écartement d’au

moins 2,54 cm (1 po) autour du dissipateur thermique de l’ampli.

Un écartement inférieur à cela n’assure pas un refroidissement satisfaisant,nuit à la performance de l’ampli

et est,pas conséquent, fortement déconseillé.
