WE CALL IT ROCKFORD. While our engineers are passionate about what they design and create, we have a special product validation team that just focuses on ensuring every Rockford Fosgate product is nothing short of perfect. In fact we have an entire process of stringent practices that MUST take place before a woofer, amp or loudspeaker even gets shipped from our Tempe, Arizona facility. We use a FARO arm with laser scanner to ensure our speakers are PERFECTLY round, a “Boom Room� that torture tests our woofers to the point of failure and every amplifier that we ship is burned-in no less than twentyfour hours.
30
YEARS
OF ROCKFORD INNOVATION
1973
Jim Fosgate introduces PR7000 PowerPunch amplifier.
EXPECT MORE.
1980
Rockford Fosgate believes that you should get the most out of our products every time you power up or plug in.
1984
Our loudspeaker engineers have developed proprietary technology that packs MORE CONE AREA into a standard size loudspeaker than ever before. VAST (Vertical Area Surround Technology) achieves up to 25% more cone than our previous generation loudspeakers & certainly more than our nearest competitor. Rockford’s philosophy is you deserve MORE! Many manufactures place a power number on a box because at some point their amplifier managed to squeak out that power number. Rockford Fosgate takes a totally different approach as to how we rate our amps. In actuality our amplifiers exceed our box rated power numbers in many cases by 20% or more. So what does that mean for you? If we rate an amplifier at 1000 watts we know it will do it and keep performing over and over again. Bottom line, there is NO BS here . . . In a sea of amplifiers claiming max this & rms that, when you buy a Rockford Fosgate amp you can have the confidence that it’s going to do EXACTLY what we said it will.

ATIN AMERICA is a hot bed of ROCKFORD FOSGATE Fanatics. The unique Latin culture breeds passionate enthusiasts with an eye for design and craving for authentic Rockford Fosgate sound.
From high in the Colombian Andes Mountains, JOSE MIGUEL TORRES embodies the characteristics of a pure Rockford Fosgate fanatic. A member of TEAM JMT PERFORMANCE, Jose has been passionate about high-performance car audio since 1994. Galois Mendoza, owner of a Chevrolet Captiva 2008, recruited Jose Miguel to build the ultimate audio demo vehicle. Galois wanted a vehicle that could be both a daily driver and be used as a showpiece with complete DJ console. Mendoza flipped Jose the keys and FULL creative control, not to mention an open check book. The result is a vehicle that combines the passion of both of these fanatics for Rockford Fosgate products with the unique capabilities of a mobile DJ platform.
Galois Mendoza Colombia
So what gear did Jose use to bring this rolling audio experience to life? This 5.1 system is all Rockford, 3Sixty.2 DSP processor, (1) T2500-1bd Power amplifier for the Subs, (2) T600-4 for front and rear channels, (1) T400-2 for the center channel, (4) T115D2 subwoofers, (16) T162s Power component sets for front and rear channels and (4) T152s as center channels. Not one to miss out on the “audio jewelry” all RCA, power cables, fuse holders and battery clamps are of course Rockford Fosgate. Jose and crew at JMT Performance is already working on his next project, a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe. We anxiously await its unveiling at the Colombia finals November 2010 in Bogota.

The prior “big three” HOW TO article (see youtube.com) outlined the upgrade of your vehicle’s main current carrying wires. That upgrade combined with this HOW TO article on proper grounding techniques will reduce noise, ensure the best possible current flow, and maximize the performance of your Rockford Fosgate audio system.
1
2
Tools/Products Needed: Rockford Fosgate AWG Wire, Rockford crimp ring terminal(i.e. RFTS1), Non-Anodized bolt w/ compatible fender washers, lock washer with nut, sandpaper or alternative tool to remove paint from the metal surface.
Begin by preparing the grounding cable. Strip 5/8” of insulation from the end of the wire, then securely crimp the compatible size ring terminal to the end.
Complete your ground by securing the ground cable to the chassis ground. Bolting the ground ensures you will have maximum contact. A proper ground is: • Clean of residue and paint • Equal ground wire gauge as compared to the power wire gauge • Has a resistance return of 00.5 Ω or less • SECURE!
D
B
• Poorly crimped • Metal surface has only been sanded down to the primer and not to bare metal • A screw is not the preferred mounting method
Prepare the chassis ground by scraping ALL paint/ primer from the metal surface and thoroughly clean the area of any dirt and grease. Be sure to have adequate surface area for the entire ring terminal to make contact to bare metal.

Location: The majority of vehicles on the road are a combination of metals, spot welds, glued together unibody panels and isolated chassis components. So choose a location that consists of a substantial mass of solid metal. Contrary to popular belief factory bolts are NOT a good ground location (i.e. seat bolt). The majority of factory bolts attach to a nut that is typically tack welded in place and are designed to hold something in place. This method DOES NOT provide ample current transfer.
You can verify the quality of the ground by checking the resistance in ohms using a digital multi meter (DMM). Set your DMM to Ω, then place one probe on the ground you have created and the other on the factory battery ground. Remember resistance cannot be measured accurately on a live circuit.

• Poorly crimped and stray wire strands • Metal surface area is improperly prepped • Regardless of how many you use, drywall screws do not work
Tip: It is recommended to ground the source unit at the same location as your amplifier/s and other audio equipment to eliminate any possible ground loops. This is typically the first step in trouble shooting engine noise.

hen we launched the What’s Your Volume contest this past year, we had no idea who or what type of videos we’d get. With our fingers crossed we carefully uploaded our YouTube.com introductory video, and the What’s Your Volume Contest was born. As the entries started to roll in, we took special note of a confident young woman talking about a Rockford Fosgate system in an RX-7. At first we said, “Is this girl for real?” but after thousands of votes, Karissa Hosek, from Victoria, TX not only captured the $5000 sponsorship and secured her spot in VOLUME magazine, but impressed the world with her dedication to performance car audio and the Rockford Fosgate brand. Rockford Fosgate is nothing new to Karissa. “I’ve grown up with Rockford Fosgate,” smiles Karissa as she starts to show us her latest retro-fit with all of her new Rockford Fosgate gear.

Karissa is part of a long line of car audio enthusiasts and installers, third generation to be exact. Hi-Pro Audio was started by her Uncle David Rother and carried on in his memory by her grandfather, who continued the business in Victoria, TX. Today Hi-Pro is managed by her father Henry and she works side-by-side with her older brother Justin. “I’ve been working at Hi-Pro since I was born, but have been selling and installing for about four years now,” explains Karissa.

“I wanted my RX-7 not only to be loud, but look razor sharp. We used an extensive amount of carbon fiber on the box so it would match my carbon fiber hood,” Karissa points out. “The interior of the RX-7 is pretty tight so we had to get creative on how we mounted all of the audio gear. We’ve got components in every nook and cranny, 3Sixty.2 in storage panels, a Rockford 10F cap in the other, and we even stashed a T400-2 & Rockford 10F cap in a trim panel complete with cooling vents and custom mounts.” So what new equipment did Karissa spec out with her Rockford Fosgate sponsorship? Up front she chose the new T2 6.5” components (T2652-S) and a pair of the new T1 6.5” coax (T1652). Powering up the highs is a T400-2. While Karissa’s RX-7 interior is tight, she’s one power hungry fanatic so why not power each of the PUNCH P3 12” woofers with their own T500-1bdCP! These woofers get it done, especially reflecting off the glass of the Mazda’s hatch. Karissa’s wish list also included a pair of T112D4 woofers. (While not available at the time of this photo shoot, Karissa’s RX-7 update plan includes two T112D4 to add even more PUNCH to her ride.) System tuning is handled by Rockford’s 3Sixty.2 and of course Karissa used all Rockford spec cable and accessories to complete the custom installation. What does the future hold for Karissa? “I really enjoy photography and have a passion for cars; I’d like to focus these into a career as an automotive photographer.” Karissa is extremely talented and creative; we saw this in everything she showed us while visiting with her on-location in Texas. Our time with Karissa at her shop in Victoria, TX was one of the most authentic Rockford Fosgate fanatic experiences to date. We look forward to seeing more audio installations from Karissa and want to officially congratulate her on wining the What’s Your Volume Contest!

HOWTO
IDENTIFYING HARNESS WIRES IN A FACTORY RADIO
rd Fosgate RT
Search:Rockfo
TI
Identifying the wires in a factory radio harness is an important part for proper installation of any of the Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty OEM integration products, whether it is power/signal for a signal processor (3Sixty.1/3Sixty.2), line driver (RF-BLD) or power for the iPod charger in one of the Rockford Fosgate integration for iPod products. Following this tutorial will ensure correct wire identification.
1
Tools Needed: Multimeter, Test Lead Kit, Tone/Pulse Generator, Polarity Tester
4
3
2
Begin by removing the factory installed radio. Vehicle specific how-to information can commonly be found on 12volt/car audio forums and vehicle specific forums. (i.e. www.the12volt.com, www.vwvortex.com)
5
12V Constant (battery): First, verify the vehicle ignition switch is in the OFF position. Then you will need to change the setting on the multimeter to direct current(DC) voltage(V). Now place the common probe (typically black) from the multimeter to a vehicle ground. *We used alligator clips to hold the common probe to ground. This leaves a hand free to manipulate the harness. Your setup is now complete. Continue by testing each wire in the harness with the multimeter’s positive probe (typically red), noting your findings. *Typically you will only find one wire that reads 12.00VDC on the meter. Note your findings in the OEM column below
Aftermarket*
OEM
Yellow Red Black Speakers Gray Front Right (+) Front Right ( ) Gray w/ Black Stripe White Front Left (+) White w/ Black Stripe Front Left ( ) Purple Rear Right (+) Rear Right ( ) Purple w/ Black Stripe Green Rear Left (+) Green w/ Black Stripe Rear Left ( ) 12V Constant (battery) 12V Switched (ignition) Ground
12V Switched (ignition): Maintain your multimeter settings from the previous step, DC Voltage and common probe to ground. However, you will now need to change the vehicle ignition switch to the accessory (ACC) position. Proceed by testing each wire in the harness with the positive probe, noting your findings. *Typically you will only find one wire that reads 12.00VDC on the meter with the vehicle ignition in the accessory and run positions, besides the wire you noted above.
6
Ground: Start by turning the vehicle ignition switch back to the OFF position. You will also need to change the setting on the multimeter to continuity, leaving the common probe connected to the vehicle probe as described in the previous test. Now test each wire in the harness with the positive probe, noting your findings. *The multimeter will typically indicate continuity with an audible tone. Some illumination/dimmer wires can read ground; this can be verified by turning on the headlights which will break the ground.
*Aftermarket wire colors are typical.
Speakers: Begin by verifying the vehicle ignition is still in the OFF position. You can now disconnect the multimeter’s common probe from ground. Continue by changing the setting on the multimeter to impedance(Ω). Now place the common probe on one of the harness wires, and then test each of the remaining wires with the positive probes, noting your findings. Repeat this test by moving the common probe until all combinations have been tested. *Impedance readings on original equipment manufacturer(OEM) speakers can read from 01.008.0Ω; however a typical reading is 04.0Ω. Tip: Some vehicles come equipped with a factory installed amplifier. In this case the same wire identifying procedures can be used at the amplifier’s wiring harness as well.
Polarity: Once you have located your speaker wire pairs you will still need to determine the correct polarity of each set. This can easily and safely be done by using a tone/pulse generator coupled with a polarity tester. *If these additional tools are not available to you, this can also be done with a 9V battery and visually identifying what direction the cone travels. If the speaker’s polarity is correct it will move outwards. CAUTION: Using this method can damage the speakers or if the battery current is connected to incorrect harness wires, this can result in damage to other vehicle components.

nce in a lifetime a story about a Rockford Fanatic not only stirs passion for the audio lifestyle but has the ability to inspire the lives of so many people. Without question the story of this award winning 2007 Cadillac Escalade is it. The vision of Brad Fowler, this is more than just another custom truck but a celebration of life, a passion for cars and love for audio. Tragically, Brad was unable to see his vision become a reality, his vibrant and giving life cut short. It was decided by the family to finish the Escalade and Jessica, Brad’s sister would complete Brad’s dream of putting it in the Ocean City, MD car/truck show in June 2008. The Fowler family gave us unrestricted access to Brad’s dream vehicle and the opportunity to share Brad’s story with the world. Brad started the project in early 2007. Low & slow, Brad’s vision took over five months just to plan before he found just the right mix of components and a custom fabricator for his Escalade project. “His dream was to have the best show car in Calvert County, Brad knew exactly what he wanted, which was the loudest audio system, lots of TVs, video, airbags and custom rims,” says his Mom, Brenda. A Rockford Fanatic, Brad knew the only equipment for his dream truck was Rockford Fosgate.

This custom Escalade is full tilt Rockford. Filling the custom tuned rear box are eight P3D212 Punch Subs, powered by six T1000-1bd Power Amplifiers. All four doors carry two sets of T162-S Power components each, with another set of T162-S Power components placed in the center console as well as rear mounted set in the cargo hatch. The mids and highs are driven by two T600-4 Power amplifiers. To keep things balanced and tuned a Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty signal processor is employed, the DSP adding realism to the XBOX360, Playstation 3 & ten video monitors. “When Brad would get something new he’d tweak, fine tune & play – spending hours on every detail in the garage. He was extremely passionate about audio & video,” laughs Duce, Brad’s friend.

An avid Dallas Cowboys fan, Brad turned to the Texas based guys at Ekstensive Metalworks, featured in Volume 1.0, to do the highly detailed fabrication to turn the Escalade into a serious show truck. Ekstensive fitted custom upper and lower control arms, firestone airbags, notched the firewall, fender wells and floorboards. Even the factory fuel tank was replaced with a custom fuel cell to accommodate the extreme drop. “The complete build took over a year to complete and became a very personal build for us because of the circumstances,” says Mitch Ralls of Ekstensive Metalworks. While Brad never got to see his creation finished his compassion to others was evident as those involved with the project focused in on the one event Brad dreamed of attending with his custom Escalade. “Thoughtfulness and generosity is what made Brad so special. He didn’t have just one best friend, all his friends

Over 10,000 Watts were best friends,” smiles Brenda, Brad’s Mom. Brad’s passion for vehicles, football and Rockford Fosgate audio translated into everything and everyone he interacted with. Jessica, along with Brad’s friends, worked with Ektensive to get the Escalade done just like Brad wanted. The Texans with Ektensive personally delivered the truck to the Fowler residence. “It was a very emotional day to watch the Escalade being unloaded from the trailer,” remembers Brenda Fowler. Brad’s 2007 custom Escalade did make the grade at the Ocean City Car & Truck Show in Maryland in 2008. In fact it took the coveted Mayor’s Award at this show. Since then his sister, Jessica and friend Duce have won every show they’ve entered with Brad’s Escalade.

HOWTO BUILD A HIGH-OUTPUT SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE
ord Fosgate
Search:Rockf
RT TI
A high-output subwoofer enclosure is an enclosure design with a built-in slot style port that is calculated for maximum bass. These examples have been designed by the experts at RTTI using the latest enclosure design software. They are then built and tested in many different vehicles to ensure maximum performance in all applications.
1
2
Supplies: Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) Wood Glue, Box Carpet, Contact Adhesive, Nails or Screws
Select the size and type of subwoofer. The actual dimensions for the enclosure can be modified as long as the internal volume and port are equal to the RTTI specified enclosure.
4
5
Build the port first. The end of the port should be rounded over on both sides to reduce air turbulence. Use wood glue and nails to attach the 2 parts of the port together. Paint the inside of the port for that clean look.
Dry fit the parts of the enclosure first before applying glue or nails. Label your parts so you know where they go. (e.g. baffle, top, sides, port, etc.) Apply wood glue to all the joints and secure them with nails or screws.
Find the location in the center of the baffle where the woofer will be mounted. Mark this location and drill a 1/8 inch hole. Use the RTTI woofer hole cutting jig to cut the exact hole for the woofer. Use a router with a flush trim bit to cut the opening for the port.
8
Apply the contact adhesive on the enclosure and the box carpet. Allow the adhesive to dry for 2-3 minutes before adhering the box and carpet together. Trim off the excess carpet, and cut out the openings for the woofer and port.
VOLUME ROCKFORDFOSGATE.COM
Use a table saw to cut the enclosure parts to the desired sizes. Be sure to leave the safety features of your power tools in place. Measure twice and cut once.

Short on Space But Want Killer Bass? The ultra compact Rockford Fosgate IBeam, IB-200, is your secret agent in the pursuit of the ultimate bass experience. Declassified as a tactile transducer, the I-beam is designed to stimulate your sense of touch with a heart pounding power handling of 250 watts RMS. We like our IBeam’s mounted directly to the seat frame here at Rockford. When spooled up on your frame, IBeam’s energy transfer will turn any system into a system that’s licensed to kill.
THE ULTIMATE VEHICLE SPECIFIC BASS SOLUTION • No enclosure needed… just plug and play • Measures only H 2” x W 4.25” x L 6.875” • Mounts in any position and can be completely hidden/covered • Can be used with or without a traditional subwoofer • (Patent #7,402,922)
HOW DOES IT WORK? • Accurately and efficiently energizes the listener’s auditory cortex without pressurizing surrounding air • Transmits information via bone harmonics, skin galvanic (electrical properties of skin) and other direct stimulus routes
LOCALIZED BASS • When attached to a resonant surface, it will be ‘felt’ by only the listener in comparison to the sound produced by subwoofers and ordinary speakers • An optimum sound quality level is often reached when you can just feel rather than hear the bass • Reduced “noise pollution”
Under-Seat Mount
MULTIPLE INSTALLATION OPPORTUNITIES • Home theater • Gaming • Simulators • Amusement parks • Studios • Hearing impaired • Rear seat entertainment • Bass augmentation to existing automotive and home systems

Stock is for Sissies. Sick of that factory paper cone speaker vibrating your door panel loose? We thought so; we’ve designed PRIME loudspeakers to be a no-compromise factory replacement speaker that delivers authentic Rockford sound at a PRIME price point. The ultra lightweight poly cone and dome tweeter make the PRIME drivers efficient enough to hook up directly to your factory head-unit. If you want to kick it up, add a PRIME four channel R300-4 amplifier. With our line of coaxial speakers and our newly added component sets (R162-S, R152-S) PRIME loudspeakers are a perfect fit for any vehicle.
