INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a list of tools needed for installation:
Volt/Ohm Meter
#2 Phillips screwdriver
Battery post wrench
Hand held drill w/assorted bits
CAUTION: If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed by a
qualified Rockford Fosgate 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. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.
5. 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.
6. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the best
protection.
7. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any
wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.
8. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from electrical sources (other than the amplifier) i.e., power
cables, electronic fuel pumps, vehicle computers, and other potential noise sources.
9. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from areas of extreme heat or moisture.

MOUNTING

Speakers/Tweeters
1. Determine where the speakers will be mounted. Ensure an area large enough for the speaker
to mount evenly. Be sure that the mounting location is deep enough for the speaker to fit; if mounting
in a door, operate all functions (windows, locks, etc.) through their entire operating range to ensure
there is no obstruction.
2. When mounting the speaker(s) on the rear deck of the vehicle, check the operation of the rear hatch
or trunk lid. Make sure the torsion bars and other moving parts are not obstructed by the speaker(s)

installation.

3. Refer to the specification chart to determine the proper diameter hole to cut for your speaker
model.
Crossovers
1. Make sure there is a flat area large enough for the crossover to mount.
2. For best results, mount the crossover(s) next to the amplifier for a decorative finish to the installation
and provide an easy upgrade (no new wires to run) for a bi-amp Rockford Fosgate system in the
future.
