-
terminal of

2. Make the proper input and output wire con-
nections for each unit.
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring har-
ness.
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the fol-
lowing order: ground, battery, ignition.
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the
unit.
6. Install the unit in your car.

WARNING
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the bat-
tery wire (yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you
may cause a short circuit, that in turn may start a
fire. Always connect those wires to the power
source running through the fuse box.
CAUTION
• If your car's ignition does not have an ACC po-
sition, connect the ignition wires to a power
source that can be turned on and off with the
ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to
a power source with a constant voltage supply,
as with battery wires, the battery may die.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the
unit so that the faceplate will not hit the lid when
closing and opening.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t
touching to cause a short circuit, then replace
the old fuse with one with the same rating.
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or
other similar material. To prevent a short cir-
cuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the
unconnected wires or the terminals.
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the ter-
minals to which they correspond. The unit may
be damaged or fail to work if you share the
-
wires or ground them to any metal part in the
car.
• When only two speakers are being connected
to the system, connect the connectors either to
both the front output terminals or to both the
rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear).
For example, if you connect the
+
connector
of the left speaker to a front output terminal, do
not connect the
-
connector to a rear output
terminal
• After the unit is installed, check whether the
brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car
are working properly.
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is
30° or less.
