Step 4The Wiring
The yellow and white speaker wires from the radio should be hooked up to the red and black of the amplifier. YELLOW to RED, WHITE to BLACK worked for me. Trial and error worked for me.
Next hooking up the head phone jack on the side of the radio. Originally this would be where you would hook up your head phones so you could listen privately. I made this the jack you plug your ipod into. I found out the leads by, you guessed it, trial and error to find out which connectors to use.
See the black and white wires out of that tan box on the side of the radio. I hooked these connections up to the amplifier's male jack and used electrical tape to connect it all together.
Next the power hook ups.
Like I said before the amp uses about 6 volts to operate and the old radio originally used the same voltage to power the speaker. So I found the leads the amp uses and hooked up the radio like this: BLACK to BLACK but before hooking up the the RED to RED I found a switch that was origanaly used to switch between AC and DC power. So now AC is now off and DC is now ON.
The LED on the amp came on and magic is just around the corner.
Closing shop next.
