Connecting the LED Wires Directly

If you do not install the recommended remote control, you can set the static color and tone of the LEDs by connecting specific color LED wires from the harness to the negative (-) terminal of a 12 Vdc power source. You must connect only the dark blue LED wire from the harness to the positive (+) terminal of the same power source to complete the circuit.

You must use the provided harnesses when connecting the LED wires directly to power.

You should use 20 AWG (0.5 through 0.75 mm2) or thicker wire to connect the LED wires from the harness to the battery.

You must connect the positive (+) wire (dark blue) for all of the speaker LED harnesses through an appropriately rated fuse (not included) near the power-source. You should also connect the positive (+) wire to the power source through an isolator switch or circuit breaker to turn the LEDs on and off. You can use the same isolator or circuit breaker controlling the power supply to your stereo, which allows you to turn the LEDs and the stereo on and off at the same time.

You should use a water-tight connection method when connecting wire to the LED wiring harness.

  1. Connect the negative (-) wire from the same power source to the color wires on the LED harness according to the preferred LED color.
    WARNING

    To prevent property damage or personal injury, you must insulate any unused LED wires on the harness to avoid causing a short circuit.
