• RFX-8030 manual

The ORANGE/WHITE Wire (External Dimmer) allows the
source unit to control the illumination level of compatible
Rockford Fosgate components. Connect the Orange/White
wire to the dimmer input (typically orange wire) of the additional
Rockford Fosgate component.
CAUTION! The Orange/White wire uses Pulse Width Modulation
(not rheostat design) to control the level of illumination
for RF components only.
The BLUE Wire (Power Antenna) is used to control only fully
automatic antennas. Since the antenna is specially controlled
throughout the different operating conditions of the source unit,
it is recommended to use the Blue wire from the source unit
instead of the factory power antenna control wire. If this is
desired, disconnect the “+” control lead from the power antenna
and heatshrink it to prevent it from shorting out. Then
connect the Blue wire to the “+” control lead of the power
antenna.
2. Connect the Speaker Wires (if external amplifiers are not used)
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.
3. Take a break! You deserve a nice cold one after wiring that 22-
pin harness.
4. Install the Preamp Harness (if external amplifiers will be used)
by plugging the RCA cable(s) into the corresponding output
jacks from the source unit. Be sure to route the signal level
cables away from any high current wires to prevent coupling
noise from radiated electrical fields into the audio signal.
The GREEN marked RCAs connect to the Front speaker's
amplifier.
The GRAY marked RCAs connect to the Rear speaker's amplifier.
The RED marked RCAs connect to the Subwoofer amplifier.
