connect the ground wire first. Ensure 
that the ground wire is properly 
connected to metal parts of the car’s 
body. The ground wire of the power 
amp and the one of this unit or any 
other device must be connected to 
the car separately with different 
screws. If the screw for the ground

result in fire, generation of smoke or 
malfunction.

overheating or malfunction, be sure 
to follow the directions below.
– Disconnect the negative terminal 

of the battery before installation.

– Secure the wiring with cable 

clamps or adhesive tape. Wrap 
adhesive tape around wiring that 
comes into contact with metal 
parts to protect the wiring.

– Place all cables away from moving 

parts, such as the shift lever and 
seat rails.

– Place all cables away from hot 

places, such as near the heater 
outlet.

– Do not connect the yellow cable to
