Installation Section of this manual. Other information can be located by using the Table of Contents. We, at Rockford Fosgate, have worked very hard to make sure all the information in this manual is current. But, as we are constantly finding new ways to improve our product, this information is subject to change without notice.
6. Gain Control – The input gain control is preset to match the output of most source units. It can be adjusted to match output levels from a variety of source units. 7. Internal Crossover (Models 301X & 501X) – Is a built-in 24dB/octave Butterworth filter selectable between 120Hz High-Pass (HP), All Pass (AP), or 80Hz Low-Pass (LP) operation.
ESIGN EATURES 9. RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy connection for signal level input. They are platinum-plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion. 10. RCA Pass-Thru Jacks – The Pass-Thru provides a convenient source for daisy-chaining an additional amplifier without running an extra set of RCA cables from the front of the vehicle to the rear amplifier location.
Stock electrical systems which are in good condition should be able to handle the extra load of any Rockford Fosgate amplifier without problems, although battery and alternator life can be reduced slightly. To maximize the performance of your amplifier, we suggest the use of a heavy duty battery and an energy storage capacitor.

Check all power and ground connections for frayed wires and loose connections which could cause problems. NOTE: Follow the diagrams for proper signal polarity. CAUTION: These amplifiers are not recommended for impedance loads below 2Ω stereo and 4Ω bridged. Power Connection Models 301X & 501X...

NSTALLATION Power Connection Model 801X 2-Channel Wiring • RCA Y-Adapters OR 2 High Level Inputs Spliced connect to Front and Rear • Gain - front and rear set equally • Crossover - front and rear set identically (example; switch to LP and frequency at 60Hz) CAUTION: Use only one input configuration.

NSTALLATION 4-Channel Wiring • RCA OR High Level Inputs connect to Front and Rear • 3-Channel Output NOTE: Reverse polarity on subwoofer if front channel is set to HP (High Pass) and rear channel is set to LP (Low Pass) CAUTION: Use only one input configuration.
Next, turn the amplifier gain setting until once again distortion is audible and then back it down until the distortion is inaudible. Rockford Fosgate source units do not distort, so the volume can be used at maximum setting.
PERATION Model 801X Do the following individually for both front and rear if used. Placing the switch in the HP position sets the amplifier to the High Pass mode, enabling frequencies above the cut-off point to pass, adjustable between 50-250Hz. Placing the switch in the AP position sets the amplifier to the All Pass mode, preventing any crossover adjustment, allowing all frequencies to pass.
ROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: If you are having problems after installation follow the Troubleshooting procedures below. Procedure 1: Check Amplifier for proper connections. Verify that POWER light is on. If POWER light is on skip to Step 2, if not continue. 1. Check in-line fuse on battery positive cable. Replace if necessary. 2.
Not Supplied Fuse Type Signal-to-Noise Ratio >100dB A-weighted Crossover Slope 24dB/octave Butterworth Crossover Frequency (Models 301X & 501X) Fixed 80Hz LP, AP, 120Hz HP Crossover Frequency (Model 801X) variable from 50Hz to 250Hz Frequency Response 20Hz to 20kHz ±0.5dB Bandwidth 20Hz to 200kHz ±3dB...
