   • Vstup na vysokej úrovni: If your head unit only has speaker wire outputs, use the provided audio harness. Connect the blue wire of the audio harness to the positive (+) speaker wire and the gray wire to the negative (-) speaker wire from your head unit. These high-level inputs will be converted to RCA signals by the Stetsom unit.
5. Zvukový výstup (RCA): Connect RCA cables from the 'OUT AUDIO' ports on the Stetsom unit to the RCA inputs of your ampdoživotné.

Popis obrázku: This diagram illustrates the complete wiring setup for the Stetsom Gain Control. It shows connections from the player (head unit) to the Stetsom unit via high-level audio input (blue and gray wires) or RCA input. The power harness connects to the car battery (ground, +12V, remote input, remote output). The remote output from the Stetsom unit connects to the amplifier's remote input, and the audio output RCAs connect to the amplifier's audio input.

5.2 Montáž
