Installation Procedure - Kenwood DDX6029 Installation Manual

Installation Procedure

1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from the
ignition and disconnect the - terminal of the
battery.
2. Make the proper input and output wire connections
for each unit.
3. Connect the wire on the wiring harness.
4. Take Connector B on the wiring harness and
connect it to the speaker connector in your vehicle.
5. Take Connector A on the wiring harness and
connect it to the external power connector on your
vehicle.
6. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.
7. Install the unit in your car.
8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.
9. Press the reset button.
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.
• Do not cut out the fuse from the ignition wire (red)
and the battery wire (yellow). The power supply
must be connected to the wires via the fuse.
2CAUTION
• If the power is not turned ON (or it is ON, but
will be OFF immediately), the speaker wire may
have a short-circuit or touched the chasis of the
vehicle and the protection function may have been
activated. Therefore, the speaker wire should be
checked.
• If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position,
connect the ignition wires to a power source that
can be turned on and off with the ignition key. If
you connect the ignition wire to a power source
with a constant voltage supply, as with battery
wires, the battery may die.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the
unit so that the faceplate will not hit the lid when
closing and opening.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren't
touching to cause a short circuit, then replace the
old fuse with one with the same rating.
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other
similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not
remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected
wires or the terminals.
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals
to which they correspond. The unit may be
damaged or fail to work if you share the - wires or
ground them to any metal part in the car.
• 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.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake
lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working
properly.
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or
less.
• This unit has the cooling fan (page 7) to decrease the
internal temperature. Do not mount the unit in a
place where the cooling fan of the unit are blocked.
Blocking these openings will inhibit the cooling of
the internal temperature and result in malfunction.
