WIRING CONNECTIONS
Make sure you have good chassis ground. A good ground connection will eliminate
most electrical noise problems. A good chassis ground requires a tight connection to
the vehicles metal chassis. The area around the ground connection should be clean,
bare metal without rust, paint, plastic, dust, or dirt for a good electrical connection.
Follow the above wiring diagram to install
the head unit with new or existing speakers.
This unit is designed for use with four (4)speakers with an impedance between 4Ohms to 8 Ohms.
An impedance load of less than 4 Ohmscould damage the unit.
Never bridge or combine the speaker wireoutputs. When not using four speakers, use
electrical tape to tape the ends of the unusedspeaker outputs to prevent a short circuit.
Never ground the negative speaker termi-nals to chassis ground.
