Connecting to Power
When connecting the stereo to power, you should connect it through a circuit breaker rated for 15 A.
If it is necessary to extend the power and ground wires, use 14 AWG (2.08 mm
2
) wire. For extensions longer
than 1 m (3 ft.), use 12 AWG (3.31 mm
2
) wire.
1 Route the red power wire to a circuit breaker rated for 15 A , and route the black ground wire to the
battery.
2 If necessary, route a wire between the circuit breaker and the battery .
3 Route the wiring-harness plug to the stereo.
Do not connect the wiring harness to the stereo until after all of the bare wire connections have been made.
4 Connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.
5 Connect the red power wire to the circuit breaker, and connect the circuit breaker to the positive (+) battery
terminal.
6 Connect the wiring harness plug to the stereo.
Speaker Zones
You can group speakers in one area into speaker zones. This enables you to control the audio level of the zones
individually. For example, you could make the audio quieter in the cabin and louder on deck.
One pair of 4 Ohm speakers can be connected per zone.
Zones 1 and 2 are powered by the on-board amplifier. To use the RCA line output and the RCA subwoofer output
(associated with zone 1), you must connect an external amplifier.
You can set the balance, volume limit, tone, and name for each zone. You can set the subwoofer level for zone
1.
