6.2 Awọn isopọ onirin
Refer to the diagram below for typical wiring connections.

Aworan: Oke-isalẹ view of the RECOIL REQ7 equalizer, illustrating the various input and output connections for a car audio system.
- Power (RED wire): Connect to a fused +12V constant power source from the vehicle's battery.
- Ground (BLACK wire): Connect to a clean, solid chassis ground point in the vehicle. Ensure good metal-to-metal contact.
- Remote (BLUE wire): Connect to the remote turn-on output of your head unit or other switched +12V source. This turns the equalizer on/off with your audio system.
- Awọn igbewọle Audio:
- RCA Inputs (MAIN IN / AUX IN): So awọn kebulu RCA pọ lati inu ẹyọ ori rẹ ṣaaju-amp outputs to the MAIN IN. Use AUX IN for additional RCA sources.
