SPEAKER Wiring
There are (2) different options for wiring your speakers.

tion 3.1
You can also utilize the DEUTSCH™/Amphenol style connector
(not included) input next to the COLOR OPTIX™ connector.
COLOR OPTIX™ Wiring
If not using the PMX-RGB, follow the diagrams below for proper
pin out and hard wiring instructions.
COLOR OPTIX™ Wiring Precautions
• Do not connect to 24 Volt electrical systems
• We recommend only using the COLOR OPTIX™ wiring chart
or connecting to the PMX-RGB. Connecting any other way
could cause damage to the speakers or the device you have
connected to.
• We recommend installing a fuse (not included) on the
Yellow 12 Volt wire whenever you are NOT using the PMX-
COLOR OPTIX™. See COLOR OPTIX™ wiring chart for wiring
options.
• Rockford recommends a minimum of 20 gauge wire when
hard wiring your COLOR OPTIX™ speakers.
• Never wire the COLOR OPTIX™ lights directly to 12 volts.
Utilize either the PMX-RGB or a toggle switch (not included)
connected to a fused 12 volt power supply. Refer to the
specification to determine the size of fuse (not included)
needed
