Connecting the LED Wires
If you choose to not install a remote control to turn the LEDs on and off, change the color, and create lighting
effects, you can choose a static LED color by connecting specific LED color wires to ground. You can splice the
ground wire to a combination of LED wires to customize the LED color beyond red, green, or blue.
NOTE: LEDs are not available on all models.
The black wire on the LED cable is terminated with a 4mm female bullet connector, and the color wires are
terminated with 4mm male bullet connectors. You can connect these to 4mm bullet connectors on your wires
(not included), or remove the bullet connectors to connect to the bare wires instead.
1 Connect a positive wire to the black wire on the LED cable.
2 Connect a ground wire to the wire or the combination of wires on the LED cable according to the preferred
LED color.
LED Color LED Wire Color
Red Red wire
Green Green wire
Blue Blue wire
Yellow Combined red and green wires
Magenta Combined red and blue wires
Cyan Combined blue and green wires
White Combined red, green, and blue wires
3 Route the positive and negative wires, and connect them to a power source (Connecting the LED Wires to
Power, page5).
Connecting the LED Wires to Power
NOTE: LEDs are not available on all models.
You must connect all 12Vdc wiring to the LEDs to a 3A fuse at the power-source end of the cable. You should
connect the positive (+) power wire to a 12Vdc power source through an isolator switch or circuit breaker to
turn the LEDs on and off. You can use the same isolator or circuit breaker controlling the power supply to your
stereo, which allows you to turn the LEDs and the stereo on and off at the same time.
You should use 20AWG (0.5 through .75mm
2
) or thicker wire to connect the LEDs to the battery.
1 Route the positive power (+) and negative ground (-) wires from the LED-wire connections to the battery.
2 Connect the negative wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.
3 Connect the positive wire to the positive (+) terminal through a 3A fuse and isolator switch or circuit breaker.
Subwoofer Sound Optimization
While installing the subwoofer, you can ensure the sound from the subwoofer is optimized by running the
subwoofer out of phase. You can switch the positive and negative wires on the amplifier or source to run them
out of phase.
Running the subwoofer out of phase from the speakers allows you to hear if the perception of bass is more
from the location of the subwoofer or from the speakers. If running the subwoofer out of phase gives a better
perception that the bass is from the speakers’ location, then out-of-phase wiring is correct for your system.
You can run the subwoofer out of phase by temporarily switching the positive and negative connections from
the subwoofer at the amplifier or source. Depending on the outcome of the test, you can then switch the
connections back if necessary.
