If you are replacing a previous Fusion^® stereo, you may be able to use the existing 15 A power cable harness with this stereo. Read these considerations and only proceed with using the existing power cable if they are met.

• If you are not connecting speakers to the stereo as you plan to connecting the stereo to an external amplifier instead, you can use the existing 15 A power cable harness. Observe the considerations for installations using an external amplifier only (New Installations Using Only an External Amplifier).
• If you are connecting speakers to the stereo to use the internal amplifier, you can use the existing 15 A power cable as long as you observe these considerations:
  • The power cable must be rated for 15 A or higher.
  • The fuse or circuit breaker connected to the positive wire must be 15 A
  • The maximum voltage drop that can be experienced by the stereo is 1.0 Vdc for a 12 Vdc system or 2.0 Vdc for a 24 Vdc system.
  • You must set the correct speaker profiles for your connected speakers in the DSP settings of the Fusion Audio app.
    NOTICE

    Installing the stereo using an existing 15 A power cable without setting the correct speaker profiles will result in amplifier clipping and may blow the fuse.
