Removing the Shipping Screws
The shipping screws help protect the
stereo from being damaged during ship-
ment. Before you mount the stereo, use
a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two
screws from the top of the stereo.
Note:
Save the shipping screws in case
you ever want to mail or ship the stereo.
You can secure them to the back of the
stereo with a piece of tape.
MAKING THE
CONNECTIONS
The supplied harness with the 14-pin
connector includes all the lead wires you
need to connect the stereo to ground,
power, some optional components, and
speakers.
Important:
Do not cut these wires. If
you cut any wire, you cannot obtain a re-
fund or exchange on this product. How-
ever, your local RadioShack store will
provide warranty service if you cut a
wire and find the product is defective.
You might need additional wire, depend-
ing on your individual autosound sys-
tem, to complete the connections. Your
local RadioShack store carries a full line
of wire and wire management accesso-
ries.
Cautions:
• For added safety and to protect your
stereo, disconnect the cable from
your vehicle battery's negative (–)
terminal before you begin.
• Be sure your speakers can handle
120 watts of power (30 watts per
channel if you are using two pairs of
speakers). Each speaker must have
an impedance of at least 4 ohms.
Your local RadioShack store carries
a full line of speakers.
• You must connect the GROUND (–),
+12V TO IGNITION, and +12V TO
BATTERY wires first, then make all
other connections as described in
the following sections before you
plug the harness with the 14-pin
connector into the stereo. If you do
not make connections in the order
shown, damage to the stereo is pos-
sible if any wire connections are
made incorrectly.
• You must connect a separate wire to
each speaker terminal as described
in the following procedure. Do not
use a common wire or chassis
ground for any speaker connection.
