Connecting Wires To Terminals - Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X915 Instruction Manual

Connecting Wires to Terminals

2WARNING
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the
battery wire (yellow) to the car chassis
(ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in
turn may start a fire. Always connect those
wires to the power source running through the
fuse box.
2CAUTION
When only two speakers are being connected
to the system, connect the connectors either
to both the front output terminals or to both
the rear output terminals (do not mix front and
rear). For example, if you connect the +
connector of the left speaker to a front output
terminal, do not connect the -connector to a
rear output terminal.
If no connections are made, do not let the wire come out from the tab.
When using the optional power amplifier, connect
to its power control terminal.
Depending on what antenna you are using, connect
either to the control terminal of the motor antenna, or
to the power terminal for the booster amplifier of the
To car light control switch
To "EXT.AMP.CONT." terminal of the amplifier
having the external amp control function.
