Precision Power DEQ-230 manual with a ring connector and attach it to the

The next step is to connect the Power, Ground, and Remote wires to your DEQ-230. The power wire should run from the mounting location through the vehicle to the battery or power distribution block. Avoid sharp corners, creases, and sharp body parts. When passing through any metal wall (i.e. firewall etc.), a grommet must be used to prevent the wire from chaffing and shorting to ground.

The ground wire should be of the same gauge as the power wire. As a rule of thumb, use as short a length of wire as possible.

Find a location near the equalizer that is metal (the floor is ideal) and clean an area about the size of a quarter to bare metal. Drill a

pilot hole in the middle of this area. Be Careful! Inspect the area underneath to

be sure you are not drilling into wires, brake or fuel lines, etc. Terminate the wire

with a ring connector and attach it to the

bare metal using a #8 sheet metal screw and washer (not supplied). We suggest

crimping and/or soldering this connection.

After the connection is complete, coat the area with silicone or some similar material

to prevent rust from developing. Finally, the remote wire needs to run to

the amplifier remote or power antenna lead of the head unit. This wire supplies a

12 volt signal to the DEQ-230 when the main system is activated.

Once you have routed the power, ground, and remote wires through the vehicle, it is time to connect the wires to the DEQ-230. Be sure that you have not reconnected the ground cable to the negative post of the battery.

Cut off excess wire and, using wire strippers, strip the power, ground and remote cables about 1/8 inch. Locate the power, ground, and remote Powerlock™ connector (supplied). On the top of the connector are three slotted screws. With a small flat-bladed screwdriver, loosen the screws before attempting to insert the cables. After you have inserted the stripped end of each cable into the connector, secure it by tightening the associated screw. Check that each connection is tight. If the wires are secure, the connector may be plugged into the DEQ-230.
