Installation
This unit is designed for installation in cars, trucks and vans with an existing
radio opening. In many cases, a special installation kit will be required to
mount the radio into the dashboard. These kits are available at electronics
supply stores and car stereo specialty shops. Always check the kit
application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle.
If you have trouble locating a kit or need installation assistance, contact
Technical Support at 1-800-323-4815 from 8:30am to 7:00pm EST Monday
through Friday and from 9:00am to 5:00pm EST on Saturday.
Universal Installation Using Mounting Sleeve
1. Remove the detachable front panel, if it is attached to the chassis, by
pushing the “Release” button.
2. Slide the mounting sleeve off of the chassis if it has not already been
removed. If it is locked into position, use the removal keys (supplied) to
disengage it. The removal keys are depicted on page 6.
3. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into
it. If the opening is not large enough, carefully cut or file as necessary
until the sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve
into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check that there will be
sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.
4. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom and sides of the
mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard
opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary to firmly
secure the sleeve to the dashboard.
5. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be
brought through the mounting sleeve.
6. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections
are secure and insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to
ensure proper operation.
NOTE: The amplifier in this radio is only designed for use with four
speakers. Never combine (bridge) outputs for use with two speakers.
Never ground negative speaker leads to chassis ground. Failure to
wire exactly as shown may cause electrical damage to the radio.
7. After completing the wiring connections, attach the front panel and turn
the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle ignition switch must be on). If
the unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until the problem is
corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn the ignition switch
off and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.
8. Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve making sure it is right-
side-up until it is fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.
