3. Twist the negative(Black) wire of the 1 D Sled to the positive(Red) wire of the 2 D Sled.
4. Twist the negative(Black) wire of the 2 D Sled to the negative wire of the 2 conductor wire.
5. Attatch the other lead(positive) 2 conductor wire with the stripe to the center post of the DC Power plug.
6. Attatch the other lead(negative) without the stripe to the terminal that's for the outside of the DC Power plug.
7. Tape up these connections with electrical tape, load it with batteries, and plug it into your deck.
8. If your deck is not powered, disconnect the pack right away. Check all your connections and double check that the red wire's signal gets to the center of the Sony plug and the black wire's signal gets to the outside of the Sony plug.
