Vehicle Installation
CAUTION:Due to the requirements of how the IBeam tactile transducer needs to be mounted in a vehicle, we strongly recommend it be installed by a
qualified Rockford Fosgate technician.
For best performance, the IBeam should be mounted to the underside frame of the seat.
If your seat does not allow for proper mounting, the IBeam can be mounted under the center console.
Where ever you end up mounting your IBeam, make
sure all surrounding items are mounted
firmly and tight. If not, these items will rattle when the IBeam is working.
Vehicle Connection
CAUTION:Before installation, disconnect the battery negative
The IBeam can be powered by any 4 ohm stable amplifier that provides a minimum of 100 Watts RMS @ 4 ohms. Amplifiers with 150 – 250 Watts @ 4 ohms offer the best experience.

3.Follow the instructions provided with the amplifier being used to connect it to the vehicle system.
4.Connect the speaker wires from the IBeam to the output on the amplifier. Be sure to main- tain proper signal polarity for best performance.
