This is a dual wire, so if you want the black to be ground and the red to be power, simply wire it that way, or vice versa.

Yes, you could use this wire for hooking up your stereo. Black is normally negative/ground and red is positive.

electricity doesn't care what color the wire is... use if for whatever you want.

Your power supply would be considered the source and your radio is the load. Red is hot and black is ground from a DC power supply. Same on the load side. Will not work with a AC power requirement as far as I know.

When it comes to speaker wires it doesn't necessarily matter which is which, they will work either way, but optimally if wired correctly. If it is shorting out, your positive wire to the radio, either the red or yellow, or possibly blue, are cut and grounding out your system either on your adapter or higher in the system. It could also be in your radio itself to where your radio is faulty. I've had both scenarios happen with me. Hope this helps.

Hi,Each purchase from us includes a red and a black ring, so if you need one black and one red buy two of these from us and you will have one for power and one for ground as well as an additional ring from each in case you need to make changed to the system later down the road.ThanksCar Amps Online

Find a 12v source I hooked it up to my night time head lights so they would come on automaticity. black(ground) wire to black wire that goes to your headlights and red (positive) goes to positive wire running to your head lights usually red but it can be any color. Just slice the wire open and use electrical tap to protect it. Good luck!

8 guage wire to run power from your battery to where you install it, inline fuse, some smaller guage wire to run the remote (12 volt accessory) turn on wire from the back of your stereo, also either RCA cable or speaker wire depending on whether your running low or high level inputs .... you can buy it separately or just get a 8 gauge sub/amp wiring kit and it will have everything you need

Before I purchased this product, I did some research. I started off at best buy, and was told the one I needed would cost about $150.00, then I called a local stereo shop and was told about the same. Finally I callex a friend that installed the stereo he gave me the right part for my car. So my advise would be research the part before buying, and if this is tge right part then make suure you use the extra red wire that is provided for the power source.

Look for the plug on the passenger side by the firewall/fender. The plug isn't very long, it is possible that the wires are wrapped around other wires. Good luck.

Hello, As it shows on the side of the radio the power supply should be a 4.5volt DC 200ma wall wort power supply and the CENTER pin is -negative polarity. I would suggest that you take the radio to a local store to find the correct plug that goes into the radio. I am only using the radio with batteries with my unit. Good luck, Ed.

Correction...my mistake . It takes does not have a ground wire. It grounds itself when bolted to the car. In my case, I have a fiberglass body so I had to run a ground wire to the bolt. All in all easy install, and for those who claimed bad reception probably should check their power connection. This thing is awsome!!

the red is the power should go to the battery or a hot wire, the black is the ground wire just screw it any where metal, the green and yellow wires are for the turn signals if u were to hook it up to those, i dont believe wiring up a different wire will remember a pattern whenever i turn mine on its always on the last setting i had it on

black wire is a ground.. common sense says black is ALMOST ALWAYS negative/ground.

It's just the wire , you would have to buy an adapter if you want to use it for your car. I apologize for the late response.

No.The inverter will require a good quality 0/1 gauge power cable. You can purchase wiring kits online or buy the cables for power, ground (and a circuit breaker) by the foot at any local custom car stereo store. If you haven't wired anything like this before it is wise to have them do the entire installation. Your dealing with a lot of power any error will likely result in fire.

I bought onemail of these and can answer your question. No it does not have a r a plug, just 3 wires. A hot wire which you run to any sources which is hot when car is on or if your stereo has a powere antenna lead, connect it there. A ground wire which you connect to any grounded source in the car, and t1he standard Antenna plug that goes in the back of the radio. No adapter needed unless the antenna plug in is the smaller European style. If so any radio shack or auto zone has the adapter. The product looks and works great and definitely boosts reception. Mine picks up even inside the garage with the door closed . Hope this helps . I bought onemail of these and can answer your question. No it does not have a r a plug, just 3 wires.

its actually 2 wires that must be spliced in. 1 red (power/hot) and 1 black (ground).

The plug that goes into the radio has power, ground and speaker wires coming out of it. These wires are NOT connected to a universal plug which would connect to your car's plug, so unless the power/speaker plug from your car fits and matches the radio plug, the installation will NOT be simple. You may have to connect/solder the wires coming from the radio to the individual wires in your car. In that case, the installation would be best left to a professional shop if you are not comfortable with making these connections yourself.
