WIRING THE SPEAKERS

All Radio Shack autosound systems come with color-coded speaker wires.
The following chart shows Radio Shack's standard color codes.

Speaker Terminal                           Wire Color

Left Positive(+)                           Green

Left Negative(-)                           White

Right Positive(+)                          Brown

Right Negative(-)                          Gray

Connect the stereo's speaker wires to the speakers.  Using the color code
chart as guide.  Then, turn on your autosound system to be sure that you
properly connected the speakers.

Notes:  If you connect rear speakers, the same color code applies.

        Other autosound have four wires but wires might not use the same
        color codes.  If your autosound system is other than a Radio Shack
        brand, check its owner's manual for the speaker wire color codes.

Caution:  Do not connect any of your speaker wires to the chassis ground.
          Use all four wires to connect the speakers to your vehicle's
          autosound system.

2-Speaker System

Left                         GRN WHT
Right                        GRY BRN

4-Speaker System

Left Rear                    GRN
Left Front                   WHT

Right Front                  GRY
Right Rear                   BRN

Note:  To ensure proper phasing, match the speaker wire to the
       corresponding positive (+) or negative (-) speaker terminals.
       Improper phasing can cause poor bass response.

If your autosound system has a front-to-rear fader, follow the
instructions in the audio component's manual for the correct speaker
connections.

MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS

Before you mount the speakers, turn on your car's autosound system to be
sure that you properly connected the speakers.

Note:  If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, we
       recommend that you have a professional installer install the
       speakers.

To mount each speaker:

1.  Select a flat area (such as your car's rear deck) for the mounting
    surface.  The surface should be sturdy enough to support the weight
    of the speakers.

2.  Use the speaker cabinet's base as a template to mark the desired
    mounting position.  Then, determine the center of the mounting
    position.

3.  Drill a 6mm hole in the center of the mounting position.

4.  Attach the bolt to the center of the mounting position.

5.  Position the speaker cabinet on the mounting surface by inserting
    the bolt through the drilled hole.

6.  From under the mounting surface, place the washer over the bolt.
    Then, thread and tighten the wing nut until the speaker cabinet is
    secure.
