NSTALLATION
The following is a list of tools needed for installing the Source Unit:
Volt/Ohm Meter

Wire cutters
1/8" diameter heatshrink tubing
This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing
your new Source Unit. Pre-planning your system layout and best wiring
routes will save installation time. When deciding on the layout of your new
system, be sure that each component will be easily accessible for making
adjustments.
Before beginning any installation, be sure to follow these simple rules:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before
attempting to install the Source Unit.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to begin-
ning the installation.
3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting
your Source Unit in place.
4. Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high cur-
rent wires.
5. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize
signal or power loss.
6. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel
lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when
working on any vehicle.
7. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the
vehicle provides the best protection.
8. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plas-
tic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the
firewall.
9. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with
proper fusing. Install the appropriate fuse holder and fuse on the +12V
power wire within 18" (45.7 cm) of the battery terminal.
10. When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from the
metal to ensure a good, clean ground connection. Grounding connec-
tions should be as short as possible and always be connected to metal
that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle.
