FONCTIONNEMENT RÉGLAGE DU GAIN Pour régler le gain, tournez le bouton de gain de l’ampli vers son niveau le plus bas. Augmentez le volume de la source audio jusqu’à produire une distorsion audible, puis baissez-le jusqu’à ce que la distorsion devienne inaudible. Cela correspondant généralement aux deux tiers du volume sur la plupart des sources audio. Augmentez ensuite le gain de l’ampli jusqu’à produire de nouveau une distorsion audible, puis baissez-le jusqu’à ce que la distorsion devienne ina

DESIGN FEATURES Power Connection Top of Amplifier 1. Variable Crossover – The amplifiers have a built-in 24dB/octave Butterworth filter with a crossover point variable from 50Hz to 250Hz. The crossover is set to Low-Pass (LP). 2. Protect LED – The (red) LED illuminates when the unit is latched into protection. It requires momentary AP removal to enable output PWM. 3. Gain Control – The input gain control is preset to match the output of most source units. It can be adjusted to match output leve

INSTALLATION MOUNTING AMPLIFIER Mounting and wiring the amplifier requires the removal of the cover plate. Do this by removing the four (4) 3/16 head Allen screws at each top corner of the amplifier. Set the amplifier in the place it is to be mounted and mark the mounting holes. Review the Installation Considerations to safely install your unit. Wire and mount your amplifier, then, reinstall the cover plate. BATTERY AND CHARGING Amplifiers will put an increased load on the vehicle's battery and

INSTALLATION 7. Securely mount the amplifier to the vehicle or amp rack. Be careful not to mount the amplifier on cardboard or plastic panels. Doing so may enable the screws to pull out from the panel due to road vibration or sudden vehicle stops. 8. Connect the source signal to the amplifier by plugging the RCA cable inputs into the input jacks at the amplifier. 9. Connect the speakers. Strip the speaker wires 1/2" and insert into the speaker terminal and tighten the set screw to secure into pl

OPERATION ADJUSTING GAIN To adjust the gain setting, turn the amplifier gains all the way down. Turn the source unit volume up until distortion is audible and then turn it down a bit until the distortion is inaudible. 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. NOTE: For a more in depth setting procedure, contact Roc

INSTALLATION Montage dans le coffre (de préférence) et l'habitacle passager Bien qu'il soit préférable de monter les amplis Type RF sur le plancher du coffre, il est possible de les monter dans n'importe quel sens. Cela est dû à leur système de refroidissement interne unique qui utilise des entrées et sorties arrière pour optimiser le mouvement d'air même dans un espace limité. MONTAGE DE L'AMPLI Vous devez enlever le couvercle avant de pouvoir effectuer le montage et le câblage de l'ampli. Pour

INSTALLATION 6. Préparez le fil d’activation REM qui devra être relié à l’ampli en dénudant 1/2 po de son extrémité. Insérez la partie dénudée dans la borne REM, puis fixez le fil en vissant la vis sans tête. Connectez l’autre extrémité du fil REM à une source positive commutée de 12 volts. La tension commutée provient généralement de l’antenne ou du câble d’accessoires de la source audio. Si la source audio ne comporte pas de telles sorties, nous recommandons de raccorder un interrupteur mécani
