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.

To mount the unit, you will need to find a flat surface with adequate clearance 
behind it that provides enough clearance for the unit and all it’s necessary wiring.

1.  Once you have determined a mounting location, you will need to cut a 

circular hole 3” (77mm) in diameter.

2.  After the hole is cut slide the unit and wiring through the hole.
3.  Slide the mounting plate over the backside of the unit and secure with the 

supplied screws.

4.  Press on the trim bezel to the front side of the unit.
5.  Plug in all wiring harnesses and cables. Refer to the wiring diagram for wire 

harness connection types.
