– 8 – P ASSENGER M OUNTING Under the seat or floor mounting will work as long as there is a minimum of 1” (2.5 cm) of air gap above the amplifier heatsink. Vertical mounting of the amplifier is still the best. Caution! Be sure to avoid running the power wires near the low level input cables, antenna, sensitive equipment or harnesses.
– 9 – 4. Input – The amplifier ’ s signal input RCA jacks should be con- nected to the source unit ’ s signal outputs with high-quality braided or double-shielded interconnecting RCA cables. Note: Be sure to route the Series 1 signal input cable away from the main power wire and the car ’ s wiring harnesses to avoid noise coupling.

–17 – T ROUBLESHOOTING This troubleshooting guide is intended to assist you with certain problems which may occur. If you still encounter problems, see your Authorized Rockford Dealer for assistance. Problem Amplifier will not play — Remote Turn-on light is off.
Problem Amplifier gets too hot. Solution 1. Be sure the amplifier is properly mounted. You should be able to place your hand a few inches above the amplifier housing and feel the heat rising when the unit is on. Hot air rises. Consequently mount the amplifier with the heatsink fins aligned vertically.
Problem Engine Noise (Whine) Solution 1. Disconnect the speakers from the amplifier. Connect a test speaker to the amplifier output terminals. If the noise goes away, check your speaker leads, speakers and crossovers. 2. If the noise persists, use a “ shorting plug ” to mute the input signal at the amplifier.
D YNAMIC P OWER M EASUREMENTS – 20 – Appendix A About the Dynamic Power Measurements The Audio Graph PowerCube is a test instrument used to measure the output of an amplifier. It makes measurements in accordance with IHF- 202 standards. The IHF-202 standard is a Dynamic power measurement.
– 21 – Information Cubed The data acquired in the testing procedure is then graphed in the form of a 3-dimensional cube, hence the name PowerCube . The Phase Angle is expressed on the horizontal axis, the Output Voltage is presented on the vertical axis and the Impedance is displayed on the Z axis.
W ARRANTY I NFORMA TION – 22 – Rockford Fosgate warrants all electronics to the original consumer/purchaser to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of three (3) years. We will cover parts and labor provided the product was purchased from an Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer.
