Making Power Connections 1. Connect the +12V terminal directly to the car battery (+) terminal. 2. Connect the GROUND terminal directly to the car battery (-) terminal OR to a good clean, paint-free chassis ground point. 3. To ensure a good ground, and to prevent “motor-boating” noise in the system, make an additional connection from the car battery (-) terminal to the chassis of the stereo unit, using 12 gauge minimum wire.
