If the existing auto sound component (radio or tape player) has RCA-type line output jacks:

1.Connect the radio/tape player's line outputs to the equalizer/booster's LINE INPUT jacks using shielded cables with RCA-type plugs. (Connect left to left and right to right.)

2.Disconnect the square, in line connectors in the equalizer/booster's output wiring harness.

3.Insert the equalizer/booster's output wiring plug into the matching jack on the existing radio/type player (or into the matching jack that you or a qualified technician added to the existing component).

If the existing auto-sound component (radio or tape player) does not have RCA-type line output jacks:

1.Be sure that the square, in line connectors in the equalizer/booster's output wiring harness are securely connected.

2.Insert the equalizer/booster's output wiring plug into the matching jack on the existing radio/tape player (or into the matching jack that you or a qualified technician added to the existing component).

Installing The Proper Fuses

If the fuse for your existing auto sound unit is not rated at 3 amps, replace the fuse in the equalizer/booster's output wiring harness with a fuse that matches the rating of the existing unit's fuse.

If the existing unit's fuse is rated at 4 amps or higher, replace the fuse in the equalizer/booster's red power wire with a 15 amp fuse.
