NOTICE: If you do not feel comfortable with wiring your new
source unit, please see your local Authorized Rockford Fosgate
Dealer for assistance.
• For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to
beginning the installation.
1. Install the 22-Pin/Power Harness by connecting the correspond-
ing wires to the electrical and audio system. Solder and heat
shrink all connections for a reliable installation. For each connec-
tion, 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.
The BLACK Wire (Chassis Ground) supplies –power ground for
the source unit. 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.
The RED Wire (Ignition) allows the source unit to turn on only
when the ignition key is in the “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) posi-
tion of the ignition. If the vehicle does not have an ACC position,
connect the wire to the switched ON position of the ignition. The
current consumption through this wire is negligible.
The YELLOW Wire (Battery) is the main power wire and retains
memory for user-programmed functions. Connect the Yellow
wire to a
constant 12 volt positive source. The source should
always have +12V, even when the ignition is off and the car is not
running.
The LT. BLUE Wire (Turn-On “A”) is the primary accessory turn-
on wire which provides immediate turn-on and .5 sec delayed
turn-off. Connect the Lt. Blue wire to the “Remote Turn-On”
leads of any external equalizers or crossovers which cause on/
off transients (pops or thumps) in the system. The maximum
current available from this lead is 2 Amps.
