Installation Guide (continued)
OConnect All Leads
Now thatyou have identifiedall the wires inthe
vehicle, you're ready to begin connectingthem
to the stereo unit wires. The connection dia-
gram (.o Page 22) shows the properconnec-
tionsand colorcodingofthe leads.
We stronglyrecommend that you test the unit
beforemakinga final installation.
You can set the unit on the floor and make
temporary connections to test the unit. Use
electricaltape tocover all exposedwires.
Important: Connect the red power lead last,
after you have made and insulatedall other
connections.
Ground
Connect the black ground lead of the power
connectorto the metalvehicle chassis.
Speakers
Connect the speaker wires. See the wiringdia-
gram (.m Page 22) for the proper hookups.
Followthe diagram carefullyto avoiddamaging
the speakers and the stereo unit.
The speakers used must be able to handle
more than 40 watts of audio power. If usingan
optional audio amplifier, the speakers should
be able to handle the maximum amplifier out-
put power, Speakers with low inputratingscan
be damaged. Speaker impedance shouldmea-
sure 4-8 ohms, which is typicallymarked on
most speakers. Lower or higher impedance
speakers will affect output and can cause both
speakerand stereounitdamage.
Caution: Never groundthe speaker cords. For
example, do not use a chassis groundsystem
or a three-wire speaker common system. Each
speaker must be connected separately using
parallel insulatedwires. If in doubt about how
your car's speakers are wired, please consult
