CD615X
Before You Begin Installation
Before you begin, you will need tools, supplies and adapters. It is best to make sure you have
everything you need before you take your dashboard apart.
Installation
Tools and Supplies Needed
Basic Installation:
• Flat and Phillips screwdrivers
• Wire cutters
• Wire strippers
• Tools to remove existing radio (screw-
driver, socket wrench set or other tools)
• Electrical tape
Advanced Installation:
• Soldering iron
• Crimping tool
• 12 volt Test Light/Digital Meter
• Solder
• Crimp connectors
• 18 gauge wire for power connections
• Speaker wire
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.
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 CD615X 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 CD615X.
