Installation 7. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the best protection. Contents • 8” Powered Subwoofer Enclosure • RCA/Speaker Harness • Power Connector • Remote Punch Level Control • Power, Ground and Remote Wire 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.
Installation 1. Plan the wire routing. Keep RCA cables close together but isolated from the amplifier’s power cables and any high power auto accessories, especially electric motors. This is done to prevent coupling the noise from radiated electrical fields into the audio signal. When feeding the wires through the firewall or any metal barrier, protect them with plastic or rubber grommets to prevent short circuits. Leave the wires long at this point to adjust for a precise fit at a later time.
Operation/Troubleshooting Adjusting Level Troubleshooting 1. Turn amplifier level to minimum (counter-clockwise). 2. Turn the source unit volume up to 7/8 maximum (or when distortion is just inaudible). 3. Slowly increase amplifier gain control until adequate volume is achieved. NOTE: Best signal to noise and dynamic range are realized with gain set to minimum. For a more in depth setting procedure, contact Rockford Technical Support.
