If you wish to connect only two speakers, connect these to 
the Rear speaker wires . The remaining speaker wires should 
be insulated to ensure they cannot short circuit together or 
to the vehicle’s 12 volt or negative electrical Bus . If using only 
two speakers, adjust the Fader control to the rear speakers .

extending from the rear of the RC900 . For information on a 
suitable antenna, contact your nearest GME branch or
