CAUTION: If you feel unsure about installing
this system yourself, have it installed by a quali-
fied Rockford Fosgate technician.
CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect
9
the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent
damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
CAUTION: Avoid running power wires
near the low level input cables, antenna, power
leads, sensitive equipment or harnesses.The
power wires carry substantial current and could
induce noise into the audio system.
Power Connection
1.
Connect a wire from a constant 12 volt DC source
to the first (B+) terminal on the power connector.
Tighten the set screw to secure the wire in place.
NOTE: If you are connecting directly to the battery,

Connect a wire from a clean chassis ground point to
the last (GND) terminal on the power connector.
Tighten the set screw to secure the wire in place.
NOTE: Keep the length of the Ground wire (GND) as
short as possible.
3.
Insert a wire into the middle (REM) terminal on
the power connector and tighten the set screw to
secure the wire in place.
REM used as an input: Connect the other end of
the REM wire to a switched 12 volt positive source.
The switched voltage is usually taken from the
source unit's remote amp on lead (FIG. 1).

REM used as an output: This feature only func-
tions if the Line Driver is connected to the source
unit using the HIGH LEVEL inputs. Connect the
other end of the REM wire to the Remote ON
input of an external device, such as an amplifier.We
recommend using this feature only if the vehicle
source unit does not have a remote output to turn
on external devices (FIG. 2).
IMPORTANT: When used, the remote out is current
limited.We recommend using a relay if you
need to remotely turn on more than two
(2) other devices.
