Find an unobstructed location that where the soundbar will be easily heard and out of the way so no harm
will come to any individual in or around the vehicle. A prime location to mount the soundbar in an
off-road vehicle would be on the roll bar preferably in the front of the cockpit.
While the wiring harness of your Triton amplified soundbar incorporates a fuse, this does nothing
to
protect the vehicle from a dangerous short circuit. It is absolutely vital that the main power lead
to the amplified soundbar in the system be fused within 18-inches (45cm) of the connection to
the vehicle battery. The value of this fuse (or circuit breaker) should be no greater than the sum of
the fuses found on all of the equipment being connected to that power wire.
Red Fuse Wire is the main power lead to be either hooked up to 12 volts battery power or 12
volt switched power. It is recommended to hook this power wire directly to the battery for better
current and voltage flow (fig 5).
Black Ground Wire (fig. 4 & 5) is the ground lead to the soundbar and needs to be a solid ground
connection. Sand or scrape the paint away from a solid chassis location and use a screw or bolt with
a
star washer for best results. You can also connect the Ground Wire directly to the Battery (fig. 5).
AUX 3.5mm Input is the audio input from a source unit that produces 200mV to 2 volts. We use a
3.5mm connector for cell phone or MP3 player. If you need RCA inputs, there are 3.5mm adaptors
available from your authorized Triton dealer.
AUX 3.5mm Output is up to a 1.5 volt output to drive an external amp (subwoofer or full-range) or a
second sound bar. This output is a full-range variable output that is controlled by the soundbar
pre-amp.
ACC:This wire must be connected to a sw12Voltage source.
