I just bought a marine stereo and speakers from West Marine.
The instructions were very very basic. Pretty much it said this:
Black- ground
Red- 12v or ignition
Yellow- 12v
I Disconnected negative battery terminal.
I took the yellow and crimped a ring onto it and attached it to negative(black) battery terminal.
Then I took the red wire and put an inline fuse (10amp) in the middle of the line and then cripmed a ring onto it and attached it to the positive(red) battery terminal.
Then I attached the black ground wire to a screw I found on my sail boat. Not sure if this is the reason the stereo did not turn on or what. Is there a specific grounding place on my Cal 27?
Or did I just wire this all wrong?
Thanks for any and all help and I hope that this is not a question that has been asked many times. I searched and did not see anything this basic.
Thanks!
