Help with Clarion deck inputs/outputs

cm961 · 12th August 2010, 07:16 PM

Hi guys,

Wired up my new system last night but can't figure out which RCA sets are what on my Clarion deck.

My assumption was:
grey - front outputs
black - rear outputs
green - subwoofer
red - aux input

However, the green turned out to be an output which does not change with adjustment to the volume knob (perhaps for an equilizer?).

The black (rear?) must be the subwoofer because I can adjust the LPF with the head unit, however that leaves me no rear. I'm trying to power rear speakers through a separate amp, so I need a rear output. Right now I'm using the front but I have no fader.

Any help greatly appreciated,

Pete

What's the model number?

cm961 · 13th August 2010, 08:12 PM

DXZ545MP. I have the manual for it, but there must be an installation manual as well since no wiring / rca outputs are listed.

Thanks,
Pete
