RCA input connection Connect the subwoofer to the subwoofer output (non-fader output) or the RCA jacks for the front output of the center unit. Notes: • Read the instruction manuals for the connected components such as the center unit as well as this instruction manual. • Please purchase an RCA cord that is commercially available separately. • When the center unit incorporates a DSP, connect the subwoofer to the subwoofer output (non-fader output) or to the RCA jacks for the front output. Do not connect to the RCA jacks for the rear output, as the low-frequency reproduction effect may be attenuated due to the DSP effect. ■ Examples The following shows a typical connection for effective car stereo enjoyment.

If there is no power con-
trol terminal in the center
unit, connect the blue/
white wire to the acces-
sory line (ignition key
switch ACC position line).
Caution:
Connect the black lead wire ground terminal directly with a screw
to an unpainted metal part of the vehicle. Turning the power ON
without connecting this terminal is linked to damage of the stereo
system. Be sure to connect it.
Also, painted metal panels etc., are not grounded and will not
function correctly. Be careful.
When the center unit output is a single RCA jack, use
an RCA cord that converts the output into the two RCA
jacks as shown above. The subwoofer output will be
halved if the conversion cord is not used.
If buzzing noise is heard from the speakers when the engine
is running, attach a line noise filter (commercially available)
to the power lead.
Caution:
Do not distribute the cords in the paths
where they may be caught by a vehicle part
or damaged. Otherwise, an electric shock or
a fire due to short-circuiting may result.
