Speakers

Identify the car speaker leads. There will be two leads for each speaker, usually color coded.

A handy way to identify the speaker leads and the speaker they connect with is to test the leads using a 1.5 volt 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 a speaker if you are holding a speaker lead.

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.

Antenna Motor

If your car is equipped with an automatic power antenna, identify the car motor antenna lead by connecting 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

The antenna lead is a thick, black wire with a metal plug at the end.

Connect All Leads

Now that you have identified all the wires in the car, you’re ready to begin connecting them to the stereo unit wires. The connection diagram on Page 27 show the proper connections and color coding of the leads.

We strongly recommend that you test the unit before making a final installation.

You can set the unit on the floor and make temporary connections to test the unit. Use electrical tape to cover all exposed wires.

IMPORTANT: Connect the red power lead last, after you have made and insulated all other connections.

Ground

Connect the black ground lead of the power connector to the metal car chassis.

Connect the speaker wires. See the wiring

diagram below for the proper hookups. Follow

H

 

the diagram carefully to avoid damaging the

12

speakers and the stereo unit.

 

 

The speaker used must be able to handle more

 

than 40 watts of audio power. If using an

 

optional audio power, the speakers should be

 

able to handle the maximum amplifier output

 

power. Speakers with low input ratings can be

 

damaged.

 

Speaker impedance should measure 4 - 8 ,

 

which is typically marked on most speakers.

 

Lower or higher impedance speakers will affect

 

output and can cause both speaker and stereo

 

unit damage.

 

 

 

 

Caution: Never ground the speaker cords. For

 

example, do not use a chassis ground system

 

or a three-wire speaker common system. Each

 

speaker must be connected separately using

 

parallel insulated wires. If in doubt about how

 

your car's speakers are wired, please consult

 

with your nearest professional installer.
