Good wire connections are very important for
best sound and long-term reliability. Here are
two methods:
Splice
1. Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from
both wires.
2. Wrap wires together
3. Fold wires over
4. Stretch electrical tape tightly over splice.
Professional Tip
Upgrading Your System
International 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.

Solder
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 hot
enough, touch the solder to the splice. The
solder will flow over the wires. Stretch
electrical tape tightly over splice.
Important:
Be very careful when soldering wires in your
car. Cover nearby carpeting and seats to
prevent damage from hot solder.
