Important:
• To avoid short circuits and any resulting damage to the sound system, the negative terminal of the vehicle's
battery must be disconnected first.
1.
Remove the plug from the supplied power port plug cable.
2.
Connect the power port plug's negative wire to the vehicle's metal frame or to the negative battery terminal,
and the power port plug's positive wire to the positive battery terminal.
• To prevent electrical damage, you must install 1) a 15A fuse (not included) and 2) an on/off switch (not
included) to be in line with the power wire which connects to the positive battery terminal.
• Fasten the ground wire with a bolt/screw on the metal surface. Make sure the metal surface is clean with no
paint, rust or dirt.
Turn on or off

To avoid battery drain when the sound system is not used, disconnect the sound system from the
battery by unplugging the power port cable or using the inline on/off switch (not included).
