6.2 Konnessjonijiet tal-Wiring
Refer to the diagram below for typical wiring connections.

Immaġni: Minn fuq għal isfel 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.
- Inputs tal-Awdjo:
- RCA Inputs (MAIN IN / AUX IN): Qabbad il-kejbils RCA mill-pre- tal-unità ewlenija tiegħekamp outputs to the MAIN IN. Use AUX IN for additional RCA sources.
- High Level Inputs (HI INPUT): If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, connect the speaker wires directly to the HI INPUT terminals.
