Load Impedance : Less than 4 ohms

Product Usage Instructions

Getting Started

Before beginning the installation, it is recommended to read all of the instructions.

Tools and Supplies Needed

Ensure that you have the following tools and supplies:

Speakers with a load impedance less than 4 ohms
Battery disconnect tool

Universal Installation Using Mounting Sleeve

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.
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.
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. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve.
Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper operation.
After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (the 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 the final mounting of the chassis.
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.
Attach one end of the perforated support strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the rear of the chassis using the hex nut provided. Fasten the other end of the perforated strap to a secure part of the dashboard either above or below the radio using the screw and hex nut provided. Bend the strap, as necessary, to position it. CAUTION: The rear of the radio must be supported with the strap to prevent damage to the dashboard from the weight of the radio or improper operation due to vibration.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during installation or operation, please refer to the Troubleshooting section in the owner’s manual for assistance.
