Wiring Precautions

Read all wiring precautions. If you are not sure of the connections, contact your authorized Clarion dealer.

If you are using a source unit, without a remote turn-on lead, the MCD360 can be turned on with a switched accessory lead. You can find this accessory power source in the factory harness at the back of the radio. It is the lead that turns on and off with the key.

1.Before installation, make sure the source unit Power switch is in the OFF position.

2.Disconnect the negative (-) lead of the battery before making any power connections.

3.A clean chassis ground connection is critical to the performance of your Clarion crossover. Use the shortest ground wire possible and securely connect to the car chassis to minimize resistance and avoid noise problems.

4.Refer to the Figure 3 when making electrical connections. Connect the crossover’s positive (+) lead via a fuse directly to the positive (+) terminal on the battery. Use red-insulated 18-gauge (or larger) wire for the crossover’s positive (+) power lead and the same-gauge black insulated wire for the ground.

5.To avoid noise problems, run the crossover’s positive (+) power lead and the amplifier’s positive (+) power lead along one side of the vehicle to the battery. Run the remote turn-on wire and RCA audio cables down the center, and route the speaker wires along the remaining side. If wires must cross, run them perpendicular to each other.

6.When creating passage holes for the power wire, use grommets to eliminate any sharp edges created during drilling. This will protect the wire from being nicked and causing a short circuit.

7.Extra cable can cause signal loss and act as an “antenna” for noise. Use only high-quality RCA cables that are no longer than necessary to make a direct connection with the source unit and amplifiers.
