Instructions for connecting the amplifier to the radio
Scheme of connecting a 4-channel amplifier to 2the radio tape recorder completely corresponds to the connection of a conventional amplifier to 2 channels. The only difference is the adapter or the Y-shaped cable, which must be purchased.
- Thick wires are connected directly to the amplifier. We extend the plus wire through the engine compartment and the car interior to the amplifier.
- We install the fuse on the wire in 20-30 cm from the battery, put the wire on the corrugated tube.
- To prevent the wire from rubbing, we use rubber stubs. We lay wires through the cabin, make sure that they are not damaged by moving mechanisms.
- Wire "-" is as thick as "+", which greatly simplifies its search. Connect the "-" to the amplifier terminal.
- From the linear input of the radio tape recorder we pull the inter-unit cable through which the signal will pass so that we can hear the music.
- To connect a 4-channel amplifier to thetwo-channel radio tape recorder, it is necessary to use adapters or cable-splitters (Y-shaped cables) with which 2 channels of the radio can be made 4 and connected.
- Connect the speaker wires and everything will be ready.
