Welcome!  
What you're holding in your hands is no ordinary owner's  
manual. We've tried to make the instructions in this book  
clear and easy to follow.  
Wiring Diagram–Advanced  
Installation .................................. 7  
For your Jensen stereo to work right, it must be installed  
correctly. This manual will show you how to install your new  
stereo like a pro. It's a good idea to read all of these instruc-  
tions before you begin the installation. Most installations are  
straightforward and can be handled by a do-it-yourselfer with  
the right tools, patience, and the ability to follow instructions.  
But, do-it-yourself installation isn't for everyone. If you still  
don't feel confident after reading this book, consider turning  
the installation job over to someone better suited to it.

Warranty Service

Professional Tip  
Professional Tip  
Crimp Connections  
Connections  
Purchase crimp connectors and crimping  
tool. Connectors are color coded. This  
Jensen radio uses BLUE connectors (14-16  
gauge wire).  
Good wire connections are very important for  
best sound and long-term reliability. Here are  
two methods:  
Splice  
1. Strip 1/4 inch (6mm) of insulation from  
both wires.  
2. Insert into connector.  
3. Crimp tightly.  
1. Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from  
both wires.  
2. Wrap wires together.  
You can make permanent splices (using  
butt connectors) or select connectors that  
can be removed and reinstalled.  
3. Fold wires over.  
4. Stretch electrical tape tightly over splice.

Professional Tip  
Upgrading Your System  
Solder is the best way to connect wires, but it  
takes skill and practice. Splice the wires (as  
shown above). Before taping, heat the wires  
(not the solder). When the wires are warm  
enough, touch the solder to the splice. The  
solder will flow over the wires. Stretch electrical  
tape tightly over splice.  
Jensen makes a wide range of car stereo  
products that will make your car system  
sound better, great or INCREDIBLE!  
Better Sound  
Install a Jensen tape deck or CD player like  
you’re doing now. High power units can make  
your existing speakers sound better and play  
louder.  
Great Sound  
Replace your existing speakers with Jensen  
speakers. Many of our speakers will fit into  
your car without cutting or drilling. You can  
also add an amplified graphic equalizer to  
tailor the sound to your liking.  
INCREDIBLE Sound  
Jensen offers a full line of amplifiers, high-  
power speakers and subwoofers that can  
turn your car into audio dynamite. You can go  
loud, louder and loudest by selecting Jensen  
components from your retailer.

Important  
If wiring connections are made wrong, the unit will not operate properly and it could be damaged.  
Follow the installation instructions carefully, or have the installation handled by an experienced  
technician.  
Professional Tip  
Fuse Adapters  
No convenient power wire? Install a fuse  
adapter having a spade connector.

Wiring with a Wiring Adapter  
This is the easiest wiring method, because it replaces your existing radio. You will have to buy a wire  
harness adapter from your dealer, a car stereo installation shop or electronics store. If you use a wiring  
adapter, you can connect all wires to the radio before you even start to take your old radio out.  
Connect Wires  
Attach Wires to Radio  
Splice, crimp or solder the wires from the  
Jensen connector to the wiring adapter. Match  
the wires according to the chart (below) and  
the wiring adapter instructions.  
1. After splicing the wiring adapter to the  
Jensen connector, attach the connector to  
the back of the radio as shown.  
2. Attach antenna extender cable (not sup-  
plied) and antenna adapter (if needed).

these connections
