INSTALLATION BASICS:
Before you begin your installation, disconnect the NEGATIVE(-) terminal from your car’s battery. This safety precaution will avoid possible short circuits while wiring your amplifier.
Rockville amplifiers operate on 12-volt negative ground systems only. It is recommended that you layout your sound system design on paper first. This will help you during the
installation so that you will have a wiring flow chart and not miss-wire any of your components.
Mount the amplifier in the trunk or hatch area of your vehicle. Never install an amplifier in the engine compartment or on the firewall. Please be sure to leave breathing room around the
amplifier heat sink so that it can dissipate the heat it produces efficiently. The amplifier can be installed either horizontally or vertically.
When mounting the amplifier on the trunk floor, be sure to watch for your gas tank, gas lines and electrical lines. Do not drill or mount any screws where they might penetrate the gas
tank of your car.
MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER:
The dB Series amplifiers feature four mounting tabs located at the amplifiers four corners. Choose a convenient mounting location with unobstructed airflow. Using the supplied screws
and grommets, gently mount the amplifier in to position.
Do not over tighten the screws.
