INSTALLATION

Wiring

• 

Connect the speaker outputs from the head unit to the speakers. 

• 

In some vehicles, it may be possible to utilize the existing speaker wiring. When doing 
this, be cautious of the polarity (+/-) of the speaker wires, as these wire colors vary for 
each vehicle.

Tip

: Using factory wiring harness adapters for the head unit and speakers can help 

eliminate wiring issues.

• 

In some vehicles, it may be necessary to run new speaker wire throughout the vehicle. 
Observe caution when routing wires.

• 

Always use quality connectors that fit tightly, or solder each connection. It may be 
necessary to waterproof connections made inside door panels.

• 

Wiring speakers out-of-phase (the polarity of one speaker is wrong) 

will

 cause the 

speakers to sound poor, and have very little bass response.
