Page 3: Introduction
Use common sense as you enjoy your system, and preserve your hearing. INTRODUCTION The Rockford Power 1000 MOSFET is an automotive stereo power amplifier which will provide state-of-the-art sound in cars, vans, boats, or wherever a 9 to 16 Volt battery is available. -
Page 4: System Flexibility
SYSTEM FLEXIBILITY Four bridgeable channels in the Power 1000 MOSFET provide unmatched system flexibility with simple wiring changes. Some of the possibilities are: Biamplified Stereo - A pair of channels drives mid- and high- frequency speakers; another pair drives the woofers, The... -
Page 5: Input Connections
This provides the out-of-phase drives required for bridged operation. The Power 1000 MOSFET is designed so that the four amplifier sections can be bridged in several ways. Right and Left High- Frequency channels can be bridged. The Right Low and Left... -
Page 6: Input Level Controls
Power 1000 MOSFET amplifier, the speaker positive (+) wires should go to the adapter cable center conductors, but the cable shield ground must be connected to the source chassis, NOT the speaker negative (-) wires. -
Page 7: Ground Connection
A dab of Panduit CMP-200-1 between the lugs and the chassis will improve grounding performance. INPUT MODE SWITCH The input of the Power 1000 MOSFET normally comes from the 2-channel/4-channel front RCA connectors. However, there are some cases where it is desirable to be able to drive the rear channels independently. -

Or: Install a switch in the car with one terminal connected to +12 Volts and the other to the Power 1000 MOSFET red lead. Or: Connect the Power 1000 MOSFET red lead to the accessory point at the car’s fuse block. -
Page 10: Speaker Wire
16-Gauge wire and should not reduce any benefits gained from specialized speaker wiring. SPEAKER IMPEDANCE The Power 1000 MOSFET is rated for operation into loads of 2-Ohms or greater in stereo operation. The primary load on the amplifier comes from directly connected speakers (not isolated by capacitors), and the measured resistance for each side cannot be less than 1.8-Ohms. -
Page 11: Passive Crossover Impedance
Always use fast-blow type fuses. If the speaker fuses for the Power 1000 MOSFET are excessively large or are eliminated, the internal protection circuit will operate if the speaker shorts. -
Page 14: Speaker Power Ratings
A simple method of preventing problems is to be sure there is at least 6 feet of speaker lead between the amplifier and the piezo. All Power 1000 MOSFET amps are tested with piezo loads and 6 feet of lead, and they will have no problem. -
Page 15: Battery And Charging System
BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM High-powered amplifiers will naturally put an extra load on the battery and charging system. A Power 1000 MOSFET may draw up to 50-100 amperes average current. Standard electrical systems will have to be modified to handle the extra load of an amplifier without problems. -
