Connect All Leads
Now that you have identified all the wires in the
car, you are ready to begin connecting them to the
stereo unit wires. The wiring diagram (page 66)
shows the proper connections and color coding of
the leads.
We strongly recommend that you test the unit
before making a final installation.
You can set the unit on the floor and make
temporary connections to test the unit. Use
electrical tape to cover all exposed wires.
Important:
• Connect the red power lead last, after you have
made and insulated all other connections.
Ground
Connect the black ground lead of the power
connector to the metal car chassis.
Speakers
Connect the speaker wires. See the wiring diagram
(page 66) for the proper hookups. Follow the
diagram carefully to avoid damaging the speakers
and the stereo unit.
The speakers used must be able to handle more
than 50 W (60 W ЕЩ1ИЩ) of audio power.
If using an optional audio amplifier, the speakers
should be able to handle the maximum amplifier
output power. Speakers with iow input ratings can
be damaged. Speaker impedance should measure
4-8 Q , which is typically marked on most speakers.
Lower or higher impedance speakers will affect
output and can cause both speaker and stereo unit
damage.
Motor Antenna
Connect the car motor antenna lead to the dark blue
motor antenna relay control lead.
(Do not confuse the antenna lead with blue/white
stripe lead for a power amplifier.)
Battery
Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio
wire or to the battery fuse port on the fuse block.
Antenna
Connect the antenna by plugging the antenna lead
into the antenna receptacle.
Equipment
Connect any optional equipment such as an
amplifier, according to the instructions furnished
with the equipment. Leave about 12" (30 cm) of
distance between the speaker leads/amplifier unit
and the antenna/antenna extension cord. Read
the operating and installation instructions of any
equipment you wiii connect to this unit.
Power
Connect the red power lead to the correct car radio
wire or to the appropriate fuse port on the fuse
block.
If the stereo unit functions properly with all these
connections made, disconnect the wires and
proceed to the final installation.
Final Installation
Lead Connections
Connect all wires, making sure that each connection
is insulated and secure. Bundle all loose wires and
fasten them with tape so they will not fall down
later. Now insert the stereo unit into the mounting
collar.
Congratulations! After making a few final checks,
you’re ready to enjoy your new auto stereo system.
Final Checks
1. Make sure that all wires are properly connected
and insulated.
2. Make sure that the stereo unit is securely held in
the mounting collar.
3. Turn on the ignition to check the unit for proper
operation.
If you have difficulties, consult your nearest
authorized professional installer for assistance.
