Rockford Fosgate IBeam IB-200 - Manual (Page 4)

Vehicle Installation
CAUTION: Due to the requirements of how the IBeam tactile transducer
needs to be mounted in a vehicle, we strongly
recommend it be installed by a
qualified Rockford Fosgate technician.
For best performance, the IBeam
should be mounted to the
underside frame of the seat.
If your seat does not allow for
proper mounting, the IBeam
can be mounted under the
center console.
Where ever you end up
mounting your IBeam, make
sure all surrounding items are mounted
firmly and tight. If not, these items will rattle when the IBeam is working.
Vehicle Connection
CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal
to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
The IBeam can be powered by any 4 ohm stable amplifier that provides a minimum of
100 Watts RMS @ 4 ohms. Amplifiers with 150 – 250 Watts @ 4 ohms offer the best
experience.
1. Pre-route 16/14 or 12AWG speaker wires from the IBeam unit to the amplifier it will be
connected to.
CAUTION: Be sure to route wires were they will not be damaged due to sharp
edges or from the movement of the seat.
2. Connect the speaker wires to the IBeam and mark them to maintain proper signal polarity
when connecting to the amplifier.
3. Follow the instructions provided with the amplifier being used to connect it to the vehicle
system.
4. Connect the speaker wires from the IBeam to the output on the amplifier. Be sure to main-
tain proper signal polarity for best performance.
5. For best performance set the amplifier to low pass (LP) with a crossover setting of
100-300hz.
