Wiring Instructions
The wiring instructions are as basic as the device. Connect the red wire to your +12V for power, the blue wire connects to your amplifier remote wire and the black wire connects to the -12V for your ground. Five minutes and you’re done and the only tools needed are a 3″ hole saw, wire strippers and crimpers. You can even incorporate an EQ to have full control over your sound, but this device is so well manufacturerd and simple the experts say this isn’t even necessary!
Mounting Options
Depending on the unit you purchase, there are three mounting applications.
- The first is a flush mount for units similar to the MTX Audio MUDBTRC. Find a convenient location for the device with 1″ of clearance behind it, typically on your dashboard. Take your 3″ hole saw and drill an opening for your device. Insert the mounting accessory and screw into place.
- The second is an option for select units with an adhesive backside like the SSV Works BMC. Simply select a location, clean it with an alcohol wipe, remove the adhesive cover and stick to the desired location.
- Certain units like Wet Sound’s BT RS are designed to snap into a standard Carling style switch opening, commonly found on your dashboard.
