Mounting Location; Wiring The System - Rockford Fosgate RFQ5000 Manual De Instrucciones

9. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with proper fusing. Install
the appropriate fuseholder and fuse on the +12V power wire within 18" (45.7 cm) of the
battery terminal.
10. When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from the metal to ensure a
good, clean ground connection. Grounding connections should be as short as possible and
always be connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle.

mounting location

The RFQ5000 consist of a primary unit and the Remote led display. The primary unit can be
mounted in any location in the vehicle, however here are a few suggestions that may make set-up
and installation easier.
Mount the primary unit close to the amplifiers, this will make running the RCA cables easier and
shorter to the amplifiers.
Mount the Remote LED display display unit in the front of the vehicle interior so as not to obstruct
the view of the driver but in a location where the bypass button is accessible.
Hint: For the initial set-up and installation have the RFQ5000 in an easy to get at location, i.e. on
extra long cables or outside the car. This will make the control adjustments easier to get at.

Wiring the System

For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the car battery prior to beginning the installation.
The supplied connector will have three locking screws to attach the power, ground and remote
turn on. The connections should read (GND) Ground, (B+) Battery positive and (REM) Remote turn
on, from the top down as you look at the unit.
1. Wire the Power Connector
The B+ lead should be connected to a source of non-switched 12 volts DC. Prepare a length
of cable from the constant +12V by stripping 3 / 8 " of insulation from the end of the wire. Insert
the bared wire into the B+ terminal of the power connector and fasten the screw.
