Before You Begin The Installation

Before you install your stereo, we recommend you read through all the instructions in this owner's manual. You should be able to answer all of these questions about your vehicle's electrical and sound systems.

Which terminal in my vehicle's fuse box supplies power even when the ignition is turned off?

Which terminal in my vehicle's fuse box is for accessories?

How do I connect a wire to the fuse box?

Which stereo wires are line-level outputs and which are speaker outputs?

Also, be aware that installation in your vehicle might require cutting or modifying your vehicle.

Note: Before permanent installation, we recommend that you install the stereo by temporarily connecting it to ground and power, optional components, and your speakers. Then test the connections. Next disconnect the stereo, mount it in your vehicle, and then reconnect it. Place the stereo as close as possible to the selected mounting location when making the temporary connections.

CAUTION: Be sure your speakers can handle 14 watts of power (7 watts per channel). Each speaker must have an impedance of at least 4 Ohms. Your local RadioShack store carries a full line of speakers.

Preparing the Mounting Area

Before you mount the stereo, make sure you have all the necessary materials. Then confirm that the stereo fits your vehicle's stereo mounting area. This auto-sound stereo system is a DIN-E size unit that requires a 2-1/16-inch high by 7-3/16-inch wide by 6-11/16-inch deep (52 x 182 x 170 mm) mounting area.

Note: If the mounting area is too large, you might be able to mount the stereo with an in-dash installation kit, available at your local RadioShack store. Follow the installation kit's instructions to mount the stereo.
