Turn On Connection; Speaker Connections - Rockford Fosgate POWER 1000 MOSFET Owner's Manual

The 2-channel/4-channel
panel) switches the rear channel inputs over to the rearchannel
RCA connectors. To use the amplifier with 4-channel inputs
push the switch in.
TURN-ON CONNECTION
(RED WIRE FROM 9-PIN CONNECTOR)
The Power 1000 MOSFET is turned on by applying Positive 12
Volts to the red wire. Usually, the red wire is connected to the
source unit's "Accessory" or "Auto-Antenna" lead, either of
which will go positive when the source is turned on.
Although the majority of high-quality automotive source units
have an Accessory or Auto-Antenna output, there are many
which may require different turn-on methods. If the source has
no Auto-Antenna lead (or if Auto-Antenna goes down during
tape operation):
a) Find the internal switched power voltage inside the
source unit and solder a lead to it. Run the lead out
through the back of the unit (being sure to use a grommet
for insulation from the case) and connect to the amplifier
turn-on wire.
b)
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
c)
accessory point at the car's fuse block. In this case the
amplifier will be on whenever the car is on. This method
will allow the amplifier to amplify any noise and turn-on
and turn-off transients, and may therefore be unsatis-
factory.

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

(WIRES FROM 9-PIN CONNECTOR)
Be certain to observe speaker terminal polarity throughout the
system. It is critical for the Power 1000 MOSFET to use the
correct negative leads for the right and left channels, since the
right negative lead (brown) is the "hot" lead for the right
speaker. DO NOT chassis ground any of the speaker leads.
Unstable operation may result.
