Installation Basics
Before you begin your installation, disconnect the NEGATIVE(-) terminal from your car’s battery. This safety precaution will avoid possible short circuits while wiring your amplier.
Rockville ampliers operate on 12-volt negative ground systems only. It is recommended that you lay out your sound system design on paper rst. This will help you during the
installation so that you will have a wiring owchart and not misswire any of your components.
Mount the amplier in the trunk or hatch area of your vehicle. Never install an amplier in the engine compartment or on the rewall. Please be sure to leave breathing room around the
amplier heat sink so that it can efciently dissipate the heat it produces. The amplier can be installed either horizontally or vertically.
When mounting the amplier on the trunk oor, be sure to watch for your gas tank, gas lines, and electrical lines. Do not drill or mount any screws where they might penetrate the gas
tank of your car.
Mounting the Amplifier
All RVA-M Series amplier features four mounting tabs located at the amplier’s four corners. Choose a convenient mounting location with unobstructed airow. Lay down the amplier
and mark the location of the mounting holes. Remove the amplier and drill pilot holes for the screws. Place the amplier and secure it to the mounting surface using the supplied
screws.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.
