FILTER & FUSE BOX Fig. 26 Installation / Mounting Contents 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

4. Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high

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.
