bare end of wire.

3. Ground (black wire) - Connect to ground terminal or clean, unpainted part of chassis.
4. Memory/Battery (yellow wire) - Connect to battery or 12 volt power source that is always
live. The radio will not work if this wire is not connected.

vehicles require an adaptor).

NOTE: The amplifiers in this radio are only designed for use with four speakers. Never
combine (bridge) outputs for use with two speakers. Never ground negative speaker
leads to chassis ground. Failure to wire exactly as shown may cause electrical damage
to the radio.
Fuses
When replacing a fuse, make sure the new fuse is the correct type and amperage. Using an
incorrect fuse could damage the radio. The CR1610 uses one 15 amp fuse located below the
wiring connector (15 amp fast blow ATO).
Reconnect Battery
When wiring is complete, reconnect the battery negative terminal.
