Turn On Connection; Amplifier Mounting - Rockford Fosgate POWER 650 MOSFET Owner's Manual

TURN-ON CONNECTION
(Red Wire from 9-Pin Connector)
The Power Amplifier is turned on by applying Positive 12 Volts
to the red wire. Usually, the red wire is connected to source
unit's "Access."
Although the majority
have an Accessory or Auto-Antenna output, there are many
variations which may
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's red turn-on
wire.
b. Or: Install a switch in the car with one terminal connected
to +12 Volts and the other to the amplifier's red lead.
c. Or: Connect the amplifier's red lead to the 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
MOUNTING THE POWER 650 MOSFET
Since the Power 650 MOSFET has forced-air cooling rather than
relying on convection, it can be mounted anywhere and in any
position it will fit. The only requirement is that the fan intake and
exhaust are not blocked from fresh air.
