Re: Stereo instal
Not to jack the thread but thought that pthers installing a stereo might have this question - what do you do with the red 12v accessory wire coming out of the stereo? On a car it goes to the ignition but what about a cart?

Re: Stereo instal
Install a 48 Volt relay and wire the coil of this relay to click on and off with the keyswitch. The Main 12V Positive wire will go on the COM post and the red ACC wire will go on the Normally Open post of the relay.

Re: Stereo instal
TahoeDawg - I am not sure I understand. Yellow wire on radio goes to + on fuse block. Black wire goes to - on fuse block. For the Red wire (12V accessory wire) I need to install some sort of relay?

Re: Stereo instal
Hmm.. what's the draw on a 48-to-12 reducer if not switched? Significant over time? Otherwise you won't be able to keep YELLOW hot.

I was thinking if you have a 4x12v system you could run the memory wire off the last 12v battery and the reducer off the key (to turn it off) and the radio memory wire off last 12v battery |

Re: Stereo instal
That's the downside of a reducer if you have a radio... Like crash said, if you have 4-12v, you could run the memory wire to one of those batteries so it always has power.

I didn't want my radio to be key switched like a car either. Sometimes I like to use the cart as a boom box with it just sitting close to me and I may not have the key close by. I wired my red and yellow wires to +12v from the battery and black to ground. I can turn the radio on and off independently of the cart and my presets and clock settings never go away. Conversely, since I don't always play the radio, it doesn't come on automatically when I turn the cart key on. |
