Adapters for Easier Installation
Electrical and dashboard adapters make
installation easier. Purchase adapters from
your local Jensen retailer, electronics store or
car stereo specialty store.
Wiring Harness Adapter
For a basic installation, you can purchase a
wiring harness adapter for your car's existing
radio connectors. This makes installation easy.
Dashboard Adapters
The opening in your dashboard may not match
the size of your Jensen radio. Purchase an
adapter kit for your car.
Antenna Adapter
(GM cars)
1990 and newer GM cars have a small
antenna connector. You will need an adapter
when installing this radio in a newer GM car.
Speaker Requirements
Only connect the KDC 9520 to speakers rated
in the load impedance range of 4 to 8 ohms.
Speakers with a load impedance less than 4
ohms could damage the KDC 9520.
