Using The Speaker-Level Inputs
The Epicenter Plus is designed to accept an amplified, speaker-level signal
from a factory source unit or amplifier. You will want to refer to a factory
service manual or wiring-harness schematic to determine which wires are the
speaker wires for your system. If you are unsure which wires are the speaker
wires, it is recommended you look at the color of the speaker wire connected to
the speakers and follow them back to the factory source or amplifier. Connect
the speaker wires to the Speaker-Level Inputs on The Epicenter Plus. Make sure
to get your “pluses” and “minuses” connected properly.

Auxiliary Input
Many car audio enthusiasts have a number of sources of music above and
beyond their factory-installed source unit. Believe it or not, downloading music
from the Internet onto an iPod or an MP3 player is getting more and more
popular. By last count there were only 100,000,000 plus users! To help users
interface with any secondary stereo source, The Epicenter Plus is equipped with
an auxiliary two-channel input. To activate this input, you simply need to tap the
dash control knob and The Epicenter Plus will switch between the main inputs
and this auxiliary input. The bright LED indicators on The Epicenter Plus will
identify which source unit is being used. Additionally the light on your dash
control will turn bright blue when the auxiliary source is selected. You will still
need to use the volume control on your source unit when you switch between your
iPod and the main radio inputs, so the volume level won’t blow your ears off.

Custom Installation
For that custom, finished look, the dash control can be flush mounted directly
on the dashboard (or anywhere else). We have provided an extra label to help
make this happen. Referencing Figure 8, disassemble the dash control from the
mounting bracket. Start by pushing the LED from its holder followed by remov-
ing the circuit board and rotary control from the bracket. Drill a 9/32 hole in the
dashboard for the control along with a 1/8 hole for the lock tab and a 13/64 hole
