Black Ground
Connect the Black Ground wire to the vehicle body/chassis. Make sure that you
have a good chassis ground. Good ground connections will eliminate most
electrical noise from the motor and alternator. A good chassis ground requires
a tight connection to the vehicle’s 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.
Yellow Memory Backup
Connect the Yellow Memory Backup wire to an electrical terminal always supplied
with power regardless of ignition switch position.
Blue Remote
Connect the Orange Remote to an Auto-antenna or power amp control wire/
remote connection. Maximum current 300Ma 12 V DC. (Low Current)
White Panel Light
Connect the White Panel Light to the lighting circuit of vehicle. This will illuminate
the buttons on the display for night time operation. This wire can also be
connected to the Blue Remote wire to activate the buttons when the unit is
powered on. DO NOT JOIN THE WHITE WIRE TO THE LIGHTING CIRCUIT OF THE
VEHICLE IF CONNECTED TO THE BLUE REMOTE WIRE.
Speaker Wiring Notes
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 from
4 Ohms to 8 Ohms.
• An impedance load of less than 4 Ohms could damage the unit.
• Never bridge or combine the speaker wire outputs. When not using four
speakers, use electrical tape to tape the ends of the unused speaker outputs to
prevent a short circuit.
• Never ground the negative speaker terminals to chassis ground.
