The factory radio speaker outputs are connected to the OEM-2 inputs and the new amplifi er is connected to the output side of the OEM-2, using the four RCA
jacks and extension cables. Referring to the wire color chart, connect the factory radio speaker (+) outputs to the solid color wires and the (-) outputs to the
black-striped wires. Example, LF speaker outputs of the factory radio connect to the white wire (+) and white/black (-). Continue for the remaining channels. The
OEM-2 provides an amplifi er turn on signal. To use, connect the blue/white wire on the OEM-2 input side to one of the positive speaker wires or to any source
that provides 5 volts DC or greater. The blue/white wire on the output side will provide 12 volts to turn on the new amplifi er. Connect the red (+) and black (-) wires
on the input side to switched vehicle power and ground. Adjust the output level controls as needed using a small screwdriver.
2) Adding an aftermarket amplifi er to a standard factory radio that does not have factory amplifi ers

Referring to the wire color chart above, connect the audio output leads of the factory stereo to the input of the OEM-2, using the red striped wires as the positive
input and black-striped as negative. Most premium systems use a low -level signal from the stereo to the factory amplifi ers, therefore use the low level input of
the OEM-2. Some factory-amplifi ed systems use common audio returns and grounded shields like for instance, GM/Delco Bose vehicles. Do not cut the shield
wire or attempt to use it as an audio signal wire. Determine if your system has two common audio return wires, one for the front channels and a second for the
rear channels. If so, connect the negative input wires (black-stripe) for the front channels of the OEM-2 to the common audio return wire in the vehicle for the
front channels. Do the same for the rear channels. If the vehicle has only one audio return wire for all channels connect all of the black stripped wires to it. The
output level controls can be adjusted with a small screwdriver. Connect the red (+) and black (-) wires on the input side to switched vehicle power and ground.

3) Adding after market amplifi ers to a factory premium amplifi ed system (Bose, JBL, etc.)
Referring to the wire color chart, connect the new stereo positive speaker outputs to the red striped wire on the input side of the OEM-2. Connect the negative
speaker outputs to the black-striped wires of the OEM-2. On the output side of the OEM-2 connect the red-striped wires to the vehicle positive speaker wiring.
The black striped wires on the output are not used. The negative side of each speaker is either common to each other on one wire or two in the factory plug or
already grounded to the chassis. However it may be, make sure that they are grounded to the vehicle chassis. The output level control on the OEM-2 will not
function in this confi guration.
