INSTALLATION

WIRING THE SYSTEM

NOTE: See diagram on following page to help you connect your system.

CAUTION: If you do not feel comfortable with wiring your new source 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.

1.Install the 16-Pin Power Harness by connecting the corresponding wires to the electrical and audio system. Solder and heat shrink all connections for a reliable installation. For each connection, cut a 1" piece of heat shrink tubing and slide over one of the wires. Strip each wire 3/8" then twist together and solder. Slide the tubing over the connection and shrink the tubing with a hot air gun until no bare wire is exposed.

2.Connect the BLACK (Ground) wire to chassis ground. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease. Strip the end of the wire and attach a ring connector. Fasten the wire to the chassis using a non-anodized screw and star washer.

3.Connect the YELLOW (Backup) wire to a source of constant +12V (for retaining memory on user- programmed functions).The source should always have +12V, even when the ignition is off and the car is not running.

4.Connect the RED (ACC +B) wire (Ignition) to a source of switched +12V (is on only when ignition key is in “accessory” or “run” position). Connect the RED wire to a switched +12 volt positive source.The switched signal is usually taken from the ACC (accessory) position of the ignition. If the vehicle does not have an ACC position, connect the wire to the switched ON position of the ignition.

5.Connect the LT. BLUE (Remote B+) wire to the “Remote Turn-On” leads of the amplifier(s).This will turn-on the external amplifiers when the source unit is powered on.

6.Connect the BLUE/RED (Auto Ant.) wire to the “Power Antenna” lead.This will raise a fully automatic antenna when the source unit is powered on, but only in Tuner Mode.

7a. Connecting Speakers (Not using external amplifier)

Connect the Speaker Wires to the corresponding speaker leads by soldering and heat shrinking all connections for a reliable installation. If only one pair of speakers is utilized in the system, use only the FRONT speaker leads and heat shrink the unused REAR leads to prevent from shorting out. Be sure to maintain speaker polarity. DO NOT chassis ground any speaker leads as unstable operation may result.

7b. Connecting Speakers (Using external amplifier)

Install the Preamp Output Harness by plugging the RCA cables into the corresponding extension RCAs that feed the input of the amplifiers. Be sure to route the signal cables away from any high current wires to prevent coupling noise from radiated electrical fields into the audio signal.The FRONT OUTPUT connects to the Front speaker's amplifier.The REAR OUTPUT connects to the Rear speaker's amplifier.The SUM OUTPUT connects to the Subwoofer amplifier.

8.Connect the CD Changer (optional) by plugging the 8-pin DIN cable into the connector located at the rear of the source unit. DO NOT connect the optional Wired Remote into this connector.

9.Connect the Wired Remote (optional) by plugging the 8-pin DIN controller cable into the pigtail connector hanging from the rear of the source unit. DO NOT connect the optional CD Changer into this connector.

10.Connect the Antenna by plugging the antenna cable into the connector located at the rear of the source unit. Be sure the antenna is securely grounded to the vehicle for proper radio reception.
