1.If you have not done so already, disconnect the cable from your vehicle’s negative
2.Route the supplied red power cable from the amplifier to your vehicle’s battery.
3.Slide the supplied split tubing onto the exposed red power cable, leaving about 12 inches (30.5 cm) of cable exposed near the battery. Then secure the split tubing inside the engine compartment using some of the supplied wire tie.
4.Cut the red power cable about 8 to 12 inches (20.3 to 30.5 cm) from the end near the battery, and then slide the wide end of one of the supplied red vinyl insulator boots onto the short piece of cable. Leave about 1 inch (2.5 cm) cable exposed above the boot.
5.Strip about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) of insulation from the end of the short piece of cable near the boot, and then twist the wire so it will fit into the small end of one of the supplied ring terminals. Then insert the wire inside the ring terminal. Use a wire crimper to crimp the terminal, and slide the boot over the terminal so it covers the joint.
6.Disassemble the fuse holder by unscrewing and removing both of its end caps. Then slide both terminals out of the clear tube of the fuse holder.
7.Strip about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) of insulation from the other end of the short piece of cable. Twist the bare wire and insert it into one of the detached end cap.
8.Use a 1/8 inch hex key to loosen the screw at both terminals, and insert the short piece of cable into the fuse terminal and below the screw. Then tighten the screw to fasten the cable in place.
9.Repeat Steps 7 and 8 to connect the cable to the fuse holder for the other end.
Caution: Make sure there is no fuse inside the fuse holder before continuing.
10. Connect the red power cable to your vehicle’s positive (+) battery terminal. Then tighten the terminal.
Caution: Due to the high current requirement for most amplifiers, you must connect the red power cable directly to the vehicle’s positive (+) battery terminal or damage to your vehicle’s wiring could result.
11.Slide the wide end of the other red vinyl insulator boot onto the other end of the long piece of cable (near the amplifier), then repeat Step 5 to attach one of the supplied spade terminals to the cable.
12.Follow the steps in the amplifier’s user’s guide to attach the red power cable to the amplifier.
the Ground Cable
1.Slide the wide end of one of the supplied black vinyl insulator boots onto one end of the supplied black ground cable, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of cable exposed above the boot.
2.Strip about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) of insulation from the end of the cable near the boot, and then twist the wire so it will fit into the small end of the other supplied ring terminal. Then insert the wire inside the small end of the terminal. Use a wire crimper to crimp the terminal, and slide the boot over the terminal so it covers the joint.
3.Slide the wide end of the other black vinyl insulator boot onto the other end of the black ground cable.
4.Connect the black ground cable with the ring terminal to a chassis ground, such as a metal bolt attached to a metal part of the vehicle’s frame. Be sure the bolt is not insulated from the chassis by a plastic part, then slide the boot over the terminal so it covers the joint.
5.Follow the steps in the amplifier’s user’s guide to attach the other end of the black ground cable to the amplifier.
The stereo interconnect cable supplied with your wiring kit lets you connect an amplifier with two
Caution: If your auto sound system does not have
1.Connect the red (right) and black (left) plugs on the stereo interconnect cable to the output jacks on your auto sound system. Then follow the steps in the amplifier's user's guide to attach the other end of the cable to the amplifier.
2.Strip about 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation from one end of the supplied remote
3.Follow the steps in your auto sound system's and amplifier's user's guide to connect the blue remote
4.Follow the steps in the amplifier's user's guide to connect your speakers to the amplifier.

1.According to the distance between the speaker and amplifier, cut the supplied 40 feet speaker wire into the required pieces and length.
Note: You might need to remove the door sill, lift the carpet, and route the speaker wires to the speaker mounting locations. Use the supplied wire ties to secure wire properly, if necessary. Keep wires away from moving parts or sharp edges to avoid pinching or cutting. If the speakers are being installed in the doors, carefully route the wire through the door grommets. If the grommets are not available, buy suitable ones. Then, drill two 1/2 inch holes for inserting the grommets or split tubing.
2.Strip 1/2 inch of insulation on each speaker wire. Crimp the insulated speaker terminal (usually included with speakers) on the positive speaker wire (marked with RadioShack logo) and negative speaker wire (without marking).
Connect the positive (+) speaker wire’s terminals to the amplifier’s and speaker’s positive (+) speaker terminals, and the negative
Completing the Connections
1.Make sure you have securely made all other connections. Then put the fuse into one of the fuse terminals. Attach the other fuse terminal onto the fuse, and then slide the fuse holder tube so it wraps the fuse in the center. Mount the two end caps on the fuse holder and then mount the fuse holder on a safety location.
2.Reconnect the cable to vehicle's negative
TESTING THE CONNECTIONS
Turn on your vehicle's ignition and make sure the amplifier and auto sound system work properly. If they do not work, immediately disconnect the cable from your vehicle's negative
the Fuse
If your amplifier or auto sound equipment does not operate, you might need to replace the red power cable's fuse. You can check if the fuse is blown or not through the transparent fuse holder. If it is blown, replace the fuse as under:
Caution: Do not use a fuse with ratings other than those specified here. Doing so might damage your amplifier.
1.Disconnect the cable from the vehicle's negative
2.Remove one of the fuse holder’s end cap to expose one end of the fuse terminal, then pull one of the fuse terminal apart from the fuse, then pull the fuse out.
3.Replace the fuse with only a
4.Replace the detached fuse terminal and end cap, make sure the fuse terminal and end cap are securely mounted. Mount the fuse holder to its original place, if you have mounted it.
5.Reconnect the cable to the vehicle's negative
