Installation Guide  
(Continued)  
S
H
If your car is not wired for an audio unit:  
Go to the fuse block and nd the fuse port for the  
battery, usually marked BAT.  
Identify All Leads  
The rst step in installation is to identify all the car  
wires youll use when hooking up your sound sys-  
tem.  
11  
Speakers  
As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label  
it using masking tape and a permanent marker.  
This will help avoid confusion when making con-  
nections later.  
Identify the car speaker leads. There are two leads  
for each speaker which are usually color coded.  
A handy way to identify the speaker leads and the  
speaker they are connected with is to test the leads  
using a 1.5 V AA battery as follows.  
Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and  
stroke the other lead across the other pole. You will  
hear a scraping sound in one of the speakers if you  
are holding a speaker lead.  
Note:  
Do not connect the power connector to the stereo  
unit until you have made all connections. If there  
are no plastic caps on the stereo hooking wires,  
insulate all exposed leads with electrical tape until  
you are ready to use them. Identify the leads in  
the following order.  
If not, keep testing different lead combinations until  
you have located all the speaker leads. When you  
label them, include the speaker location for each.  
Power Lead  
Antenna Motor  
If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:  
Cut the connector wires one at a time from the plug  
(leaving the leads as long as possible) so that you  
can work with individual leads.  
If your car is equipped with an automatic power an-  
tenna, identify the car motor antenna lead by con-  
necting one bulb tester lead to the car battery lead  
and touching the remaining exposed wires from the  
cut radio connector plug one at a time. You will  
hear the antenna motor activate when you touch  
the correct wire.  
Antenna  
Turn the ignition on to the accessory position, and  
ground one lead of the test bulb to the chassis.  
The antenna lead is a thick, black wire with a metal  
plug at the end.  
Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the  
exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.  
Touch one wire at a time until you nd the outlet  
that causes the test bulb to light.  
Connect All Leads  
Now that you have identied all the wires in the car,  
you are ready to begin connecting them to the  
stereo unit wires. The wiring diagram (pages 25,  
26) shows the proper connections and color coding  
of the leads.  
Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb  
also turns off and on, that outlet is the car power  
lead.  
We strongly recommend that you test the unit be-  
fore making a nal installation.  
If your car is not wired for an audio unit:  
Go to the fuse block and nd the fuse port for radio  
(RADIO), accessory (ACC), or ignition (IGN).  
You can set the unit on the oor and make tempo-  
rary connections to test the unit. Use electrical tape  
to cover all exposed wires.  
Battery Lead  
If your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will need  
to locate the cars battery lead. Otherwise you may  
ignore this procedure. (The yellow battery lead pro-  
vides continuous power to maintain a clock, memo-  
ry storage, or other function.)  
Important:  
Connect the red power lead last, after you  
have made and insulated all other connec-  
tions.  
If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:  
With the ignition and headlights off, identify the car  
battery lead by grounding one lead of the test bulb  
to the chassis and checking the remaining exposed  
wires from the cut radio connector plug.  
Ground  
Connect the black ground lead of the power con-  
nector to the metal car chassis.

Final Checks  
Connect the speaker wires. See the wiring diagram  
(pages 25, 26) for the proper hookups. Follow  
the diagram carefully to avoid damaging the speak-  
ers and the stereo unit.  
1. Make sure that all wires are properly connected  
and insulated.  
12  
2. Make sure that the stereo unit is securely held in  
the mounting collar.  
The speakers used must be able to handle more  
than 45 W of audio power. If using an optional  
audio amplier, the speakers should be able to han-  
dle the maximum amplier output power. Speakers  
with low input ratings can be damaged. Speaker  
impedance should measure 48 , which is typi-  
cally marked on most speakers. Lower or higher  
impedance speakers will affect output and can  
cause both speaker and stereo unit damage.  
3. Turn on the ignition to check the unit for proper  
operation.  
If you have difficulties, consult your nearest author-  
ized professional installer for assistance.  
Preparation

er, according to the instructions furnished with  
the equipment. Leave about 30 cm of distance be-  
tween the speaker leads/amplier unit and the an-  
tenna/antenna extension cord. Read the operating  
and installation instructions of any equipment you  
will connect to this unit.  
Less than 30x
