INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

• Adding a subwoofer to a factory system:
  • This feature offers the ability to add a subwoofer to a non-amplified factory system. (Refer to Page 3)
• Adding a full-range amp and subwoofer to a factory system:
  • This feature offers the ability to add a full-range amp and sub to a factory system on a non-amplified system. (Refer to Page 4)
  • Note: The interface provides a 12-volt 1-amp output to turn on aftermarket amp(s). If installing multiple amps, an SPDT automotive relay will be required if the amp turn-on current of all amps combined exceeds 1 amp. Use Metra part number E-123 (sold separately) for best results.
