Note: Save the shipping screw in
case you ever want to mail or ship the
stereo. You can secure it to the back
of the stereo with a piece of tape.
MAKING THE
CONNECTIONS
The supplied harness with the 14-pin
connector includes all the lead wires
you need to connect the stereo to
ground, power, some optional compo-
nents, and speakers.
Important: Do not cut these wires. If
you cut any wire, you cannot obtain a
refund or exchange on this product.
However, your local RadioShack store
will provide warranty
service if you cut
a wire and find the product is defec-
tive.
You might need additional wire, de-
pending on your individual autosound
system, to complete the connections.
Your local RadioShack store carries a
full line of wire and wire management
accessories.
Cautions:
• For added safety and to protect
your stereo, disconnect the cable
from your vehicle battery’s nega-
tive (–) terminal before you begin.
• Be sure your speakers can handle
64 watts of power (16 watts per
channel). Each speaker must
have an impedance of at least 4
ohms. Your local RadioShack
store carries a full line of speak-
ers.
• You must connect the GROUND,
+12V TO IGNITION, and +12V TO
BATTERY wires first, then make
all other connections as described
in the following sections before
you plug the harness with the 14-
pin connector into the stereo. If
you do not make connections in
the order shown, damage to the
stereo is possible if any wire con-
nections are made incorrectly.
• You must connect a separate wire
to each speaker terminal as
described in the following proce-
dure. Do not use a common wire
or chassis ground for any speaker
connection.
