Installation

Before installing any audio equipment, it is good practice to disconnect the ground terminal on the battery to avoid dam- age to the vehicle or audio equipment. Failure to do this means you’re a few brews short of a 6-pack and you probably already acquired the nickname of “Sparky” or “Smokey”. Not cool! Do NOT hook the ground cable back up to the bat- tery until the rest of the wiring is complete.

Factory ground wire may need to be upgraded, espe- cially if it is smaller than the power wire, frayed, or broken.

Run signal cables (RCA) and remote turn-on lead down the opposite side of the vehicle of the power wire to avoid radiated noise.

Avoid sharp edges

that could chafe

through the insulation.

Positive battery terminal

Fuse must be

installed within 18” of battery.

Drill a hole in the firewall & use a rubber grommet to keep wire from shorting.

Run the cables under the carpet near the side of the vehicle. Be careful not to drill or screw into the wires when replacing trim.

Ground cable to

bare metal chassis/

frame with nut & bolt. No screws or seat/seatbelt bolts!
