Pinouts for a Kenwood Marine HU(KTS300MR)
 

Hope someone can help with pinouts of a Kenwood KTS300MR. The owners manual does not give me specifics at the connector just the colour of wire and its use.

Got this at a boat yard sale brand new returned item with missing accessories and wrong harness.

I wired up according to colour codes and it popped the fuse.

I then reversed wiring (yellow wire to neg and black wire to pos batt and red wire to ignition) and then the unit powered up properly. So wire colours are in wrong location at the connector.

Don't know if the rest of the wires are in proper location either and don't wanna chance hitting the trigger wire probing for speaker wires blindly.

Also, will any other kenwood wire harness work or will I have to get the specific harness for this unit and where could I get this wire harness in the GTA?

TIA

What do you mean by "hitting the trigger by probing for speaker wires blindly"?

If you get power by hooking up the constant to black, ground to yellow, and ignition to red. Then all you have left is the speakers.

Just take a speaker and hook it up to the normal colors and then fade on the deck front to back and side to side to see if the wire colors are in fact correct.

The manual lists a p.cont wire(blue/white), a ext.cont wire(pink/black) and an ant.cont wire(blue) along with illum and speaker wires.

Just worried I might hook up one of these wires to the speaker looking for the proper speaker wires.

If I were to accidentally send 12v from one of these trigger wires to a speaker, will it cause damage?

If not then I'll attempt it.

have you tried using a multimeter on the wiring harness in the boat?

marine audio wiring is standard regarding power, speakers usually differ a bit from boat to boat, unless a previous owner did something with the wiring


btw here's the manual
