Welcome!
What you're holding in your hands is no ordinary owner's
manual. We've tried to make the instructions in this book
clear and easy to follow.
Wiring Diagram–Advanced
Installation .................................. 7
For your Jensen stereo to work right, it must be installed
correctly. This manual will show you how to install your new
stereo like a pro. It's a good idea to read all of these instruc-
tions before you begin the installation. Most installations are
straightforward and can be handled by a do-it-yourselfer with
the right tools, patience, and the ability to follow instructions.
But, do-it-yourself installation isn't for everyone. If you still
don't feel confident after reading this book, consider turning
the installation job over to someone better suited to it.

Crimp Connections
Connections
Purchase crimp connectors and crimping
tool. Connectors are color coded. This
Jensen radio uses BLUE connectors (14-16
gauge wire).
Good wire connections are very important for
best sound and long-term reliability. Here are
two methods:
Splice
1. Strip 1/4 inch (6mm) of insulation from
both wires.
2. Insert into connector.
3. Crimp tightly.
1. Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from
both wires.
2. Wrap wires together.
You can make permanent splices (using
butt connectors) or select connectors that
can be removed and reinstalled.
3. Fold wires over.
4. Stretch electrical tape tightly over splice.

Professional Tip
Upgrading Your System
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 warm
enough, touch the solder to the splice. The
solder will flow over the wires. Stretch electrical
tape tightly over splice.
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.

Important
If wiring connections are made wrong, the unit will not operate properly and it could be damaged.
Follow the installation instructions carefully, or have the installation handled by an experienced
technician.
Professional Tip
Fuse Adapters
No convenient power wire? Install a fuse
adapter having a spade connector.

Wiring with a Wiring Adapter
This is the easiest wiring method, because it replaces your existing radio. You will have to buy a wire
harness adapter from your dealer, a car stereo installation shop or electronics store. If you use a wiring
adapter, you can connect all wires to the radio before you even start to take your old radio out.
Connect Wires
Attach Wires to Radio
Splice, crimp or solder the wires from the
Jensen connector to the wiring adapter. Match
the wires according to the chart (below) and
the wiring adapter instructions.
1. After splicing the wiring adapter to the
Jensen connector, attach the connector to
the back of the radio as shown.
2. Attach antenna extender cable (not sup-
plied) and antenna adapter (if needed).

these connections
