Thanks for the comments - a little set back - Aa flake of metal flew into my eye yesterday. Thankfully the metal was stainless - if it wasn't it would rusted and I would of maybe needed surgery. Anyways i'll have amp rack photos uploaded soon - I'm in the middle of wiring it right now!

When is your SQ car starting? Any thoughts to what are you using or were you just pulling my chain?

Make sure you don't mount them upside down, like in the picture. It won't guarantee they stay working, but it's one of the things they warn against.

DUKK can you define "they" - I read the manual and no where it states mounting upside down.

It does state in any orientation!

I'm ask Rockford later tonight when they call!

Here is what the manual states:

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING LOCATIONS
Engine Compartment
Never mount this unit in the engine compartment. Mounting the unit in the engine compartment will void your
warranty.


Trunk Mounting
The recommended orientation would be on the floor, as this would provide the best possible range for the Bluetooth controller.The device may be mounted in any other orientation as long as Bluetooth range is maintained. Each vehicle is made of different materials and this may inhibit the Bluetooth range as well.The less metal between the device and controller, the better the signal strength will be.
