fire and/or possible injury.
Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:
- 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. - For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your unit in place.
- Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high current wires.
-
Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.
-
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
- Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the best protection.
- Avoid turning wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the linewall.
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. - When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from the metal to ensure a good, clear ground connection. Grounding connections should be as short as possible and always be connected to metal that is welded to the main bony, or chassis, of the vehicle. Sealball balls should never be used for connecting to ground.
Mounting Locations
To ensure optimal performance, record the amplifier with at cas, 1° (2.54cm) of air gap around the amplifier's heat sink to provide proper cooling.
Trunk Mounting
Mounting the amplifier vertically or inverted will provide adequate cooling of the amplifier. Mounting the amplifier on the floor of the trunk will provide the best cooling of the amplifier.
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 seal of the vehicle, you must have at least 1" (2.54cm) of air gap around the amplifier's heat sink.

CAUTION
Never mount this unit in the engine
compartment. Mounting the Crit in the engine
Emission will void your warranty.
ATVs, Golf Carts or Motorcycle
When using amplifiers on ATVs, Coil Carls or Motorcycles, Rockford Fos-gate recommends to run both GND (negative) and B+ (positive) cables from the amplifier directly to the battery. We have determined that bushings between frame parts cause an excessively high resistance and is not considered a good electrical ground.

This is especially true with motorcycles. DO
NOT ground the amplifier to the radio chassis.
headlamp or forks because the difference in
ground potential may cause unstable operation.

CAUTION
Be sure all ground connections are properly
terminated for optimum electrical continuity.
Battery and Charging
Amplifiers will put an increased lead 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 lead of any Prime 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 Fasgate Dealer for installation

CAUTION
Before installation, discerned the battery negative 1-1 terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.

CAUTION
Avoid running power wires near the low level input tables, anionine, power leads, sensitive equipment or harnesses. The power wires carry substantial current and could induce noise into the audio system.
- 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 grammals to prevent short circuits. I leave the wire long at this point to adjust for a precise fit at a later time.
- Prepare the RED wire (power cable) for allachment to the amplifier by striping 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.
NOTE: The 8+ cable MUST be fused 18" or less from the vehicle's battery. Install the fuse holder under the food and ensure connections are water light. - Trim the RLD wire (power cable) within 16" 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.
- Strip 1/2 from the battery and of the power cable and crimp an apooriolate size ring terminal to the cable. Use the ring terminal to connect to the battery positive terminal.
- Prepare the BLACK wire (Ground cable) for attachment to the amplifier by shipping 1/2" of insulation from the end of the wire. Insert the bare wire into the GROUND terminal and tighten the sell screw to secure the cable in place. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface and thoroughly clearing 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-anchored screw and a star washer.
NOTE: Keep the length of the BLACK wire (Ground) as short as possible. Always less than 30°.
- Prepare the Remote turn-on wire for attachment to the amplifier by stripping 1/2" of insulation from the end of the wire. Insert the bared wire into the RLMCTL 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 load. If the surge until does not have this current available, the recommended solution is to write a mechanical switch in line with a 12 volt source to activate the amplifier.
NOTE: When utilizing high-level for input signal the auto turn-on feature is active. With the auto turn-on active, the REM becomes an output to turn on/off up to two additional amplifiers or other accessories. - Securely mount the amplifier to the vehicle or amprack. 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.
- Correct from source signal by plugging into the RCA input jacks at the amplifier. The input sensitivity ranges from 150mV-12V to accommodate signal from either high-level(speaker) to low-level (RCA).
NOTE: All "ACTIVE" inputs must have quick connectors connected. Switch in 2CH, position, "ACTIVE" - Front channel inputs only. Switch in 4CH, position, "ACTIVE" - All Front and Rear channel inputs. Be sure to route front and rear RCA cables lightly together.

CAUTION
Always ensure power is off or disconnected at
the amplifier before connecting input cables.
Failure to do so may cause carriage to the arm-
willer and/or connected components.
- Connect the speakers. Strip the speaker wires 1/2" and insert into the speaker terminal and tighten the sat 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.
- 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.

Step 3. Turn the source unit volume down

Step 10. Reconnect all speakers and Punch Level Control PLC (in equipped) to the amoliter. Be sure to maintain proper speaker polarity.

Adjusting Crossover Frequency
Do the following individually for each channel.

Placing the crossover switch in the HP position sets the amplifier to the High Pass mode, enabling frequencies above the cut-off point to pass, adjustable between 50-250Hz.
Placing the crossover switch in the AP position sets the amplifier to the All Pass mode, preventing any crossover adjustment, allowing all frequencies to pass.
Placing the crossover switch in the LP position sets the amplifier to the Low Pass mode, enabling frequencies below the cut-off point to pass, adjustable between 50-250 Hz.
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.
2/4 Channel Switch
Setting this switch to the 2CH position, switches the inputs in a 2-channel mode, allowing connection to only the front inputs with a 4-channel output.
Circuit controls function the same as if the amplifier was in 4-channel mode.
All "ACTIVE" inputs must have RCA jacks connected. Switch in 2CH. position, "ACTIVE" - Front channel inputs only Switch in 4CH. position, "ACTIVE" - All Front and Rear channel inputs
NOTE: When connecting to the 4-Channel inputs, be sure to route both front and rear RCA cables tightly together.
High Level Input
Connect from source signal by plugging into the RCA input jacks at the amplifier. The input sensitivity ranges from 150mV-12V to accommodate signal from high-level (speaker) input. When utilizing high-level for input signal the auto turn-on feature is active. With the auto turn-on active, the REM becomes an output to turn on/off up to two additional amplifiers or other accessories.

Troubleshooting
NOTE: If you are having problems after installation follow the Troubleshooting procedures below.
Check Amplifier for proper connections. Verify that POWER light is on. If POWER light is on skip to Step 3, if not continue.
- Check In-line fuse on battery positive cable. Replace it necessary.
- Check fuse(s) on amplifier. Replace it necessary.
- Verify that Ground connection is connected to clean metal on the vehicle's chassis. Repair/replace if necessary.
- Verify there is 9 to 14.4 volts present at the positive battery and remote turn-on cable. Verify quality connections for both cables at amplifier, stereo, and battery/use holder. Repair/replace if necessary. Protect light is on.
- 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 a volt/ohm meter to check for possible shorts in the speaker wiring. Too low of a speaker impedance may also cause Protect to light.
Check Amplifier for audio output.
- 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.
- Disconnect RCA input from amplifier. Connect RCA input from test slane directly to amplifier input
Check Amplifier if you experience Turn-on Pop.
- Disconnected input signal to amplifier and turn amplifier on and off.
- If the noise is eliminated, connect the REMOTE load of amplifier to source unit with a delay turn-on module.
OF
- Use a different 12 Volt source for REMOTE load of amplifier.
Check Amplifier if you experience excess Engine Noise.
- Route all signal carrying wires (RGA, Speaker cables) away from power and ground wires. OR
- 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.
OR - 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.
OR - Add secondary ground cable from negative battery terminal to the chassis metal or engine block of vehicle.
