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.
+12V DC is applied. 3. Power Terminals – The power and ground connectors on the amplifier are gold-plated and will accommodate up to 4 AWG (8 AWG Model 350S) wire maximizing the input current capability of the amplifier. 4. Cast Aluminum Heatsink – The cast aluminum heatsink of the Power amplifier dissipates heat generated by the amplifier's circuitry.
ESIGN EATURES 9. 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. 10. Speaker Terminals – The heavy duty, gold-plated terminal block connectors (+ and –) will accept wire sizes from 8 AWG to 18 AWG.
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.
NSTALLATION NOTE: The B+ cable MUST be fused 18" or less from the vehicle's battery. Install the fuseholder under the hood and prepare the cable ends as stated above. Connections should be water tight. 3. Trim the RED wire (power cable) within 18" of the battery and strip1/2"of insulation from the end of the wire.
NSTALLATION Bridged/Mono Wiring 2-Channel Wiring USING PASSIVE CROSSOVERS A passive crossover is a circuit that uses capacitors and/or coils and is placed on speaker leads between the amplifier and speaker. The crossover delegates a specific range of frequencies to the speaker for optimum driver performance.
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 ADJUSTING CROSSOVER FREQUENCY Placing the switch in the HP position sets the amplifier to the High Pass mode, enabling fequencies 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.
