Wiring a new alpine head unit **help**

[dangerzone9k 10+ year member]

Hi,

I just bought a HD149BT HU and I want to install it this weekend. HU will be installed in a Honda. I just need some clarification. I only have a front speaker and a sub with 2 amps... one for each. On the alpine harness I see a yellow cable that says battery and on my honda harness I also see a yellow cable that says 12v battery. Should I connect both together?

Also as for ground both the alpine and honda harness have a black ground cable.. should I also connect them together?

Thanks

Yes and yes. Btw, that's a great hu.

Thanks! I'm replacing a cda 9813 that doesn't work properly. I think it's the faceplate.

This should be an easy install.

go to have a local audio shop install the xm for me.
