Installation Basics
Before you begin your installation, disconnect the NEGATIVE(-) terminal from your vessel’s house 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 lay out your sound system design on paper first. This will help you during the installation
so that you have a wiring flow chart and do not miss-wire any of your components.
Mounting The Amplifier
KRYPTON amplifiers feature four mounting feet that must be attached to the bottom of the amp via predrilled holes (see diagram below). Mount the amplifier somewhere out of the way:
at the rear of the vessel, underneath the dashboard, or below the seats. Choose a convenient mounting location with unobstructed airflow. Lay down the amplifier and mark the location
of the mounting holes. Remove the amplifier and drill pilot holes for the screws. 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. Place the amplifier and secure it to the mounting surface using the supplied screws.
• AS CONNECTIONS CAN WORK LOOSE DUE TO VESSEL’S VIBRATIONS DURING NORMAL OPERATION, WE RECOMMEND
PERIODICALLY TIGHTENING ALL POWER AND GROUND CONNECTIONS.
• DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.
