Installation Guide (continued)
Speakers
Connect the speaker wires. See the connection dia­
gram {■ => page 24) for the proper hookups. Follow
the diagram carefully to avoid damaging the speak­
ers and the stereo unit.
The speakers used must be able to handle more
than 45 watts of audio power. If using an optional
audio amplifier, the speakers should be able to han­
dle the maximum amplifier output power. Speakers
with low input ratings can be damaged. Speaker
impedance should measure 4-8 ohms, which is
typically marked on most speakers. Lower or high­
er 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.
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 ampli­
fier, according to the instructions furnished with
the equipment. Leave about 12 inches {30 cm) of
distance between the speaker leads/amplifier unit
and the antenna/antenna extension cord. Read the
operating and installation instructions of any equip­
ment you will 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

If the stereo unit functions properly with all these
connections made, disconnect the wires and pro­
ceed to the final installation.
