This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for
installing your new Series 1 amplifier. Checking your battery and
current sound system, as well as pre-planning your system layout and
best wiring routes will save installation time. When deciding how to
lay out your new system, be sure that each component will be easily
accessible for making adjustments.
Before beginning any installation, be sure to follow these simple
rules:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before
attempting to install the amplifier.
2. For safety, disconnect the battery ground cable prior to begin-
ning the installation process.
3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to
mounting your amplifier in place.
4. Use only quality connectors for making connections. See your
Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer for Perfect Interface wire
enhancements.
5. 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.
6. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires
inside the vehicle provides for the best protection.
7. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or
plastic grommets to protect wires routed through holes in metal.
8. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage
with proper fusing. Install a fuseholder and fuse within 18” (45.7
cm) of the battery terminal to safeguard from possible damage or
injury. This fuse and fuseholder is included with the Series 1
amplifier. (See installation instructions on page 8.)
9. Grounding connections should be as short as possible and
always connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or
chassis, of the vehicle.
