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 

your unit in place.

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

current wires.

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.
