Connection/Installation

Cautions

• Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground (earth) point.
• Do not get the leads trapped under a screw, or caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing).
• Before making connections, turn the car ignition off to avoid short circuits.
• Connect the yellow and red power supply leads only after all other leads have been connected.
• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with electrical tape for safety.

Precautions

• Choose the installation location carefully so that the unit will not interfere with normal driving operations.
• Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature, such as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts.
• Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a safe and secure installation.

Note on the power supply lead (yellow)

When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo components, the amperage rating of the car circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher than the sum of each component's fuse amperage rating.

Mounting angle adjustment

Adjust the mounting angle to less than 45^ .

Be sure to first connect the black ground (earth) lead to a common ground (earth) point.

③ To the +12 V power terminal which is energized when the ignition switch is set to the accessory position

If there is no accessory position, connect to the +12 V power (battery) terminal which is energized at all times.

Be sure to first connect the black ground (earth) lead to a common ground (earth) point.

4 To the power antenna (aerial) control lead or the power supply lead of the antenna (aerial) booster

It is not necessary to connect this lead if there is no power antenna (aerial) or antenna (aerial) booster, or with a manually-operated telescopic antenna (aerial).

To AMP REMOTE IN of an optional power amplifier

This connection is only for amplifiers and a power antenna (aerial). Connecting any other system may damage the unit.

Subwoofer Easy Connection

You can use a subwoofer without a power amplifier when it is connected to a rear speaker cord.

Front speaker Subwoofer

Note

Use a subwoofer with an impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω, and with adequate power handling capacities to avoid damage.
