Connecting to Power
When connecting the stereo to power, you must connect both power wires. The yellow power wire must connect to the battery to provide sufficient power to the stereo. The red ignition should be connected through the ignition or another manual switch to enable on/off control of the stereo. This installation method provides the best performance because the yellow wire retains a constant trickle-power draw that optimizes the startup time for the stereo.
NOTE: If you will be storing the vessel for an extended period of time, you should consider connecting the yellow wire through a breaker or similar switch, so you can disconnect the trickle power draw from the yellow wire and avoid draining the battery during storage.
If you do not have the option of or prefer not to use the ignition to turn the stereo on and off, you can connect the red wire and the yellow wire to the same switch on an electrical panel. This installation method results in a slightly longer startup time for the stereo, but it will not draw power from the battery when the stereo is turned off using the switch.
You must connect the power wires to the battery through a 15 A fuse or a 15 A circuit breaker.
If it is necessary to extend the yellow power and black ground wires, use 14 AWG (2.08 mm²) wire. For extensions longer than 1 m (3 ft.), use 12 AWG (3.31 mm²) wire.
If it is necessary to extend the red ignition wire, use 22 AWG(0.33 mm²) wire.

If it is necessary to extend the red ignition wire, use 22 AWG (0.33 mm ² ) wire.

  1. Route the yellow power 1 , red ignition 2 , and black ground 3 wires to the battery, and route the wiring-harness plug to the stereo.
    Do not connect the wiring harness to the stereo until all of the bare wire connections have been made.

  2. Connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.

  3. If you are routing the red wire through the ignition or another manual switch 4 , connect the red ignition wire to the ignition or switch.

  4. Connect the red wire to the yellow wire, install a 15 A 5 fuse as close to the battery as possible, and connect both wires to the positive (+) battery terminal.
    NOTE: If you are running the red wire through a fused switch, it is not necessary to connect the red wire to the yellow wire or to add an additional fuse to the red wire.
    If you connect both the red and yellow wires through a 15 A circuit breaker, it is not necessary to add an additional fuse.

  5. Connect the wiring harness to the stereo.

Speaker Zones

You can group speakers in one area into a speaker zone. This enables you to control the audio level of the zones individually. For example, you could make the audio quieter in the cabin and louder on deck.
Up to two pairs of speakers can be connected per channel of each zone, in parallel. One zone can support no more than four speakers using the onboard amplifier.
Zones 1 and 2 are powered by the onboard amplifier. Zone 3 is available as a line-level output only. To use the RCA line output and the RCA subwoofer output for zone 3, you must connect an external amplifier.
You can set the balance, volume limit, tone, subwoofer level, subwoofer frequency, and name for each zone, and configure other zone-specific settings.

Fusion PartyBus Networking
The Fusion PartyBus networking feature allows you to connect multiple compatible stereos together on a network, using a combination of wired or wireless connections.
You can group a compatible stereo, such as the Apollo WB670 stereo, with other compatible stereos connected to the network. Grouped stereos can share available sources and control media playback on all of the stereos in the group, which allows for a synchronized audio experience across the vessel. You can quickly create, edit, and break up groups as needed from any compatible stereo or remote control on the network.
NOTE: A zone stereo, such as the Apollo SRX400, can create or join a group to control and play sources from other stereos, but it cannot share its sources with the group.
For additional considerations when sharing sources, see the owner’s manual.
You can use compatible stereos and remote controls, whether they are grouped or not, to adjust the volume of the available speaker zones for any stereo on the network.
Wired Networking Considerations
When you are planning your network installation, observe the following considerations for all wired connections.

  • You must connect devices using standard Cat5e or Cat6 network cables with RJ45 connectors.
  • You can use one network cable to directly connect two compatible devices.
  • You must use wired network switches and wired or wireless network routers when you connect more than two compatible devices to a network.
  • If you install a router on the network, it should be configured to be a DHCP server by default. See your router instructions for more information.
  • If you do not install a router, and there are no other DHCP servers on the network, you should configure one Fusion PartyBus stereo to be a DHCP server.

Wired Network Example for Direct Connections
No network setting changes are needed when connecting two devices together directly.

1 Fusion PartyBus zone stereo or remote control
2 Apollo MS-WB670 stereo
3 Fusion PartyBus stereo

Wired Network Example with a Switch or Router
You must use wired network switches, a wired network router, or both to connect more than two Fusion PartyBus devices.
No network setting changes are needed when connecting multiple Fusion PartyBus devices using a switch, but if you are using a router, you may need to configure it to be a DHCP server. See your router instructions for more information.

Constructing a Network
You should have a basic understanding of networking when building a network for Fusion PartyBus devices.
These instructions guide you through the basics of building and configuring a network, and should apply to most situations. If you need to perform advanced networking tasks, such as assigning static IP addresses to devices on the network or configuring advanced settings on a connected router, you may need to consult networking professional.

  1. Determine the installation location of the Fusion PartyBus devices you want to connect to the network.
    NOTE: Wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections. When planning your network, you should run network cables instead of using wireless connections when possible.

  2. Determine the installation location of any needed network routers or switches.

  3. Route Cat5e or Cat6 network cable to the installation locations of the stereos, switches, and routers.

  4. Connect the network cables to the stereos, switches, and router.
    NOTICE
    Do not completely install the stereos yet. You should test the network before you install the stereos.

  5. Turn on all devices connected to the network, including wireless devices.

  6. If you are using a network router (wired or wireless), consult the documentation provided with your router to configure the router as the DHCP server, if necessary.
    All stereos should use their default configuration (DHCP CLIENT).

  7. Test the network by selecting > GROUPS to view a list of devices connected to the network, and select an option:
    • If any devices are not available to the network, troubleshoot the network (Network Troubleshooting, page 5).
    • If all devices are available to the network, complete the installation for each stereo, if necessary.

Network Configuration
Setting the Stereo as the DHCP Server
If you connected more than two network devices together directly or using a network switch or wireless access point and did not install a router, you should configure only one Fusion PartyBus stereo to be a DHCP server.

  1. Select > SETTINGS > NETWORK > STATIC IP > SAVE.
  2. Select ADVANCED > DHCP SERVER > DHCP ENABLED > SAVE.

Configuring the Stereo for use with a Garmin Marine Network
You can connect this stereo to a Garmin Marine Network in order to view and control the stereo using a compatible Garmin Chartplotter.
NOTE: When you configure the stereo for use with a Garmin Marine Network, you are limited to using only Garmin and Fusion devices. You may not be able to use third-party routers, storage devices, or other network products with this stereo directly.
When the stereo is connected to a Garmin Marine Network, you can connect a smartphone to a wireless access point on a connected Garmin Chartplotter and use the Fusion-Link™ app to control the stereo.
Select > SETTINGS > NETWORK > GARMIN MARINE NETWORK.
Resetting Network Settings
You can reset all network settings for this stereo to the factory default values.
Select > SETTINGS > NETWORK > RESET > YES.
Advanced Network Configuration
You can perform advanced networking tasks on a Fusion PartyBus device, such as defining DHCP ranges and setting static IP addresses. See the owner’s manual for more information.

Network Troubleshooting
If you cannot see or connect to Fusion PartyBus devices on the network, check the following:

  • Verify that only one device, either a stereo or a router, is configured as a DHCP server.

  • Verify that all Fusion PartyBus devices, network switches, routers, and wireless access points are connected to the network and turned on.

  • Verify that wireless Fusion PartyBus devices are connected to a wireless router or wireless access point on the network.
    NOTE: Wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections. If possible, you should connect devices to the network using an Ethernet cable.
    • You may experience wireless interference if there are many nearby wireless access points. Change the channel on your router or wireless access point to test for and  orrect
    interference.

  • Connecting a Bluetooth® device to a stereo configured as a wireless access point or client may reduce wireless performance. Disconnect Bluetooth devices to test for and
    correct interference.

  • If you configured static IP addresses, verify that every device has a unique IP address, that the first three sets of numbers in the IP addresses match, and that the subnet masks on every device are identical.

  • If you have made configuration changes that might be causing networking issues, reset all network settings to the factory default values.
