SPEAKER SYSTEMS

Make sure to comply with the following notes:
• Be sure not to connect the "·" terminals of the speakers to a common point.
• If the same lead is used for both left/right or front/rear speaker wirings, this unit cannot be used.
Always use independent leads for each speaker. In this case, redo the wiring.
• Use speakers with an impedance of 2 Ω to 8 Ω (4 Ω to 8 Ω: when used in Bridge Mode).
• Use speakers which have suffi cient capacity for the unit.

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

Connection varies depending on the number of the speakers used in your car. Select the
appropriate connection referring to the following diagrams.
Before connecting:
• Securely connect all the parts. If the connections are loose, due to contact resistance etc., heat
will break out and may cause an accident. Secure and cover the cords with insulating tape and
run them under the car mats.
