This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new Source Unit. Pre-

planning your system layout and best wiring routes will save installation time. When deciding on

the layout of your new system, be sure that each component will be easily accessible for making

adjustments.

CAUTION: If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed

by a qualified technician.

CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to

prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.

Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install the Unit.

2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.

3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your Source Unit in place.

4. Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high current wires.

5. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.

6. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic

lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.

7. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the best

protection.

8. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any

wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.

9. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with proper fusing. Install the

appropriate fuse holder 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 LOCATIONS

The mounting position of your source unit will have a great effect on the performance of your in-

dash CD Player. The source unit can be installed in a wide range of operating locations. However,

care should be taken to ensure optimum performance.

Engine Compartment

Never mount this unit in the engine compartment. Mounting the unit in the engine compartment

will void your warranty.

Instrument Panel

Mounting the source unit in the instrument panel provides optimum access. The source unit should

be securely mounted using the “Standard Mount” or “ISO-DIN Mount” method to ensure optimum

CD Player performance.

!

6

STANDARD MOUNT

Installing;

• Mount the Locks for the Installation Sleeve

onto the source unit (use supplied screws).

• Mount the Installation Sleeve into a secure

instrument panel.

NOTE: Make sure to mount the Source Unit as

close to horizontal as possible for

optimum CD Player performance.

Mounting Angles of up to ±20˚ from

horizontal can be accommodated.

• Bend Appropriate Tabs on all sides of the

installation sleeve. See Installation Sheet.

• Install Source Unit by sliding unit into installation sleeve until it clicks into place.

• Mount Back Strap securely behind the instrument panel to prevent source unit vibration.

Center Console

Mounting the source unit in the center console provides optimum access. Be sure the installation

does not interfere with the operation of the gear shift or parking brake.

Glove Box

Mounting the source unit in the glove box is adequate, but does not provide easy access. Glove box

mounting should only be done if “Instrument Panel” or ”Center Console,” mounting is not

acceptable (i.e., maintaining integrity of older vehicles with metal dashboards.)

Under Dash

Mounting the source unit under the dash is adequate, but does not provide easy access. Under dash

mounting should only be done if “Instrument Panel,” ”Center Console” or ”Glove Box” mounting is

not acceptable. Mount the source unit off to the side of the driver's area to reduce interference with

the parking brake, gear shift, or operating pedals.

NOTE: The source unit should have a mounting angle within ±20° from horizontal.

WIRING THE SYSTEM

NOTE: See diagram on following page to help you connect your system.

CAUTION: If you do not feel comfortable with wiring your new source unit, please

see your local Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer for installation.

CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to

prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.

1. Install the 16-Pin Power Harness by connecting the corresponding wires to the electrical and

audio system. Solder and heat shrink all connections for a reliable installation. For each

connection, cut a 1" piece of heat shrink tubing and slide over one of the wires. Strip each wire

3/8" then twist together and solder. Slide the tubing over the connection and shrink the tubing

with a hot air gun until no bare wire is exposed.

2. Connect the BLACK (Ground) wire to chassis ground. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping

any paint from the metal surface and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease. Strip the

end of the wire and attach a ring connector. Fasten the wire to the chassis using a non-anodized

screw and star washer.

3. Connect the YELLOW (Backup) wire to a source of constant +12V (for retaining memory on

user-programmed functions). The source should always have +12V, even when the ignition is off

and the car is not running.

4. Connect the RED (ACC +B) wire (Ignition) to a source of switched +12V (is on only when

ignition key is in “accessory” or “run” position). Connect the RED wire to a switched +12 volt

positive source. The switched signal is usually taken from the ACC (accessory) position of the

ignition. If the vehicle does not have an ACC position, connect the wire to the switched ON

position of the ignition.

5. Connect the ORANGE (Dimmer) wire to the lighting switch terminal. This will dim the main

display by 30% when the headlights are turned on.

6. Connect the LT. BLUE (Remote B+) wire to the “Remote Turn-On” leads of the amplifier(s). This

will turn-on the external amplifiers when the source unit is powered on.

7. Connect the BLUE/RED (Auto Ant.) wire to the “Power Antenna” lead. This will raise a fully

automatic antenna when the source unit is powered on, but only in Tuner Mode.

8. Connect the PINK (Telephone Mute) wire for cell phone mute to the wire on the cell phone

harness that provides ground when the phone rings.

9a. Connecting Speakers – Model 9320 only (Not using external amplifier)

Connect the Speaker Wires to the corresponding speaker leads by soldering and heat shrinking all

connections for a reliable installation. If only one pair of speakers is utilized in the system, use only the

FRONT speaker leads and heat shrink the unused REAR leads to prevent from shorting out. Be sure to

maintain speaker polarity. DO NOT chassis ground any speaker leads as unstable operation may

result.

NOTE: Model 9420 has been specifically designed to be used with an external amplifier with RCA input

connections for the best quality performance.

9b. Connecting Speakers (Using external amplifier)

Install the Preamp Output Harness by plugging the RCA cables into the corresponding extension RCAs

that feed the input of the amplifiers. Be sure to route the signal cables away from any high current

wires to prevent coupling noise from radiated electrical fields into the audio signal. The FRONT

OUTPUT connects to the Front speaker's amplifier. The REAR OUTPUT connects to the Rear

speaker's amplifier. The SUM OUTPUT connects to the Subwoofer amplifier.

10. Connect the AUX (1) and AUX (2) INPUTS to a external audio source (this inserts the audio before the

volume control on the source unit). The input voltage this circuit can accept is 1–3V RMS.

11. The 4-pic DIN receptacle connects to a Rockford Fosgate Type RF DSP amplifier (optional) This is used

for programming the Type RF amplifier directly from the source unit.

11. Connect the AUX INPUT to the external audio source (this inserts the audio before the volume

control on the source unit). The input voltage this circuit can accept is 1–3V RMS.

12. Connect the CD Changer (optional) by plugging the 8-pin DIN cable into the connector located

at the rear of the source unit.

13. Connect the Antenna by plugging the antenna cable into the connector located at the rear of the

source unit. Be sure the antenna is securely grounded to the vehicle for proper radio reception.

The ROOT Level

The ROOT Level contains the name of the disc, but no folder or song information. The first song on

the disc will automatically begin playing when a disc is inserted.

Directly Selecting a Song by Title

The MP3 file management system is a folder-based system similar to the

( or ) function differently than they do in CD Mode. Instead of going

forward or backward through your disc respectively, they go up and down

through the file list.

1. Press the ROOT button and the display will show the disc name. The

display will then immediately switch to show the name of the first folder

on the disc and display it for 5 seconds. If no action is taken during this 5

second period, the display will default back to the song currently playing.

OPERATION – MP3

Remote

DN {Down} Button

When playing an MP3 track, pressing the DN {Down} Button ( ) will take you to the beginning

of the previous track. For example, if listening to track 3, pressing the DN {Down} Button ( )

goes to the beginning of track 2, not the beginning of track 3.

However, if playing a regular audio CD track and the DOWN button is pressed, the player will take

you to the beginning of the same track as long as the playing track has been playing for more than

10 seconds. If the track is within 10 seconds of its beginning, pressing the DN {Down} Button ( )

will take the player to the beginning of the previous track.

Fast Forward/Fast Reverse

This function is possible in MP3 Mode, but the time will not display and there will be no sound.

Maximum Writing Speed and Bit Depth

The maximum speed of the CD ROM burner accepted by the RFX units is 12X. The maximum bit

rate range possible is 32kb/sec–320kb/sec. For best performance of scrolling display, before creating

a file system in your CDR burning program, select the CD layout properties menu and file system

tabs. Use JOLIET file format, this allows a maximum of 32 upper and lowercase scrolling characters

to be displayed.

NOTE: Make sure that when a MP3 CD is burned that it is formatted as a data disc and NOT as an

audio disc.

Programmable Titling

Programmable Titling is not available in MP3 mode. However, default is selectable to track/time or

song title on disc.

Directory Structure

The MP3 directory is set up in three levels and is

comprised of three components: (1) the Root, (2)

Folders, and (3) Songs. Songs are played in the order

and level in which they are located. As shown in the

diagram to the right, all songs in Level 2 are played

before the songs contained in Level 3 or lower. These

levels are descriptive of the function of having songs

in folders and subfolders. Any song in a level below

Level 3 is treated as though it were in Level 3, but

will play in the level order as shown. The songs in

the diagram at the right are numbered in the order

they will play.

NOTE: Songs located in subfolders will not display

when scrolling within the folder. Songs and

folders will display in the same order as they

appear in your file manager on your PC.
