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.

Manual

To mount the unit, you will need to find a flat surface with adequate 
clearance behind 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 rectangular shaped hole in the panel  (7” X 2.1” / 180mm X 52mm).

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.  Next, install the back strap to the back of the unit to prevent the 

source unit from excessive vibration.

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

for wire harness connection types.
