P1000 Best round bt radio

[Neohio]

Got the manual from boss.
You do need to hook up 2 wires.
Blue wire (remote amp turn on) and momentarily ground the orange wire.

Looks like you only need to ground the orange wire to turn the dome light on.
I think you are missing the blue wire from radio to bar. That should turn it on.

Yeah the unit the soundbar came with is junk. I’ll try that maybe later or tomorrow. Thanks fellas

You will also need to feed power and ground to the unit.
Everything should fire up.
If it isn't installed, you should be able to wire on your bench and test it.

Now to figure out where to hook the blue wire too

I have the same round radio,
One of the wires has a tag with a legend on it.
I am almost 100% positive it has a blue/white stripe wire for remote turn on. It may be solid blue. Has been a long time since I wired a stereo. But it is an industry standard.

It is solid blue.
Make sure you use the correct rca as well.
You want to connect to the grey set of rca's.
Aux in is an incoming signal.
And sub out may only send bass signals to an amp.

So what do the blue wire hook up too? Right now the orange and blue wires are not connected to anything but the dome light still works. And I’ll use the grey rca hook ups but do I connect them to line in or out on the soundbar? Also one more question. I’m using a rca cable with male ends on both sides to connect the female ends of the rca wires from radio and soundbar. Is that ok?

On the radio you only need black, red, yellow, blue, and the front rca pair.

Black goes to chassis ground.
Yellow goes to 12v + constant.
Red goes to 12v+ switched (this turns radio on/off)
Blue gets connected to blue on sound bar.
Rca gets connected to soundbar. Usually radios and amp employ female rca's. Making your patch cable male/male. This is normal.

On the sound bar.
Red, black, blue, rca in is what you need to connect.
Red goes to 12v+ constant, pair this with yellow from radio.
Black goes to chassis ground.
Blue gets connected to blue on radio.
Rca connects to radio.


If you want to use the dome light. Get a simple push button momentary switch. Think doorbell switch. Orange goes to one terminal on switch. A ground goes on other. Just tap the switch and the light should go on and off. If the dome light is currently on, and you are not going to use it, ground the wire momentarily to turn it off. Then tape wire up to keep it from being grounded accidentally.



Maybe @trigger can verify, but I am confident that should work.

Neo nailed it, that should work! The common mistake most make is with the trigger wire, they hook it up to a constant +12. He may have it wired up to work with the key off. Generally, one is a slave to the other, meaning one gets switched by the key and the other gets switched by that one...
Regardless of that, if you have verified power to both units and have no sound, then your problem is with the RCA's. If you're pairing with the dash unit then those grey RCA's hook to the soundbars input RCA's.
Yeah, that orange wire is something different, momentary ground? Funny that the dash unit doesn't have one being the same brand and all. But easily fixed with a toggle switch, just something to make contact.

Thanks fellas... Got it going!

Hey what gauge wire are y’all using? Trying to just get one size for everything if I can. Soundbar, lightbar, that’s about it right now.

There is no magic number. I have 10/12/14/16 gauge wiring depending on amperage draw.

I use a JBL PRV-175 (built-in amp) and it puts out pretty good sound!

nice setup.. I came across this thread and a radio was on my list for accessories, do I need a antenna?
what do you think about these 2 units?
or should I just get the receiver and buy different speakers?

Personally , I would buy the speakers separately. If you want to use AM FM radio , you will need to get an antenna.

These are the current speaker I am using and they sound much better than the speakers I was using (shown in this thread).
