My xr-m550 stereo didnt come with wiring labels

Hi Michelle,

There are 2 ways on getting the code. 1 is from the person you bought the car from. 2 if this is a standard car radio the came with the car all you need to do is contact the car dealership of that make car, carry your log book and they will give you the code.

You may download the installation manual from here.

You may download the installation manual from here. The wiring diagram is on page 2.

If the Sony front end unit (stereo) has RCA jacks (Left and Right) in the back it's an input to the Xplode amp. If that's right then the Subwoofer putputs should plug or wire into the Xplode amp. I haven't hooked these up for some time but try a search on Youtube with the units you describe I'm more than 90% sure that there are videos there.

just get wire adaptor and you radio will install in minutes. you get adaptors at walmart or any stereo shops.. save time and aggravation

Make sure the yellow 12V Constant is connected to a wire with a direct connection to the battery. This retains your memory.

what do you mean? distorted? low? echoey? i know you checked the wiring but try one more time. did you use a wire harness? remember the speaker wires out the radio with the black line on them is the negative side. make sure whatever color wire from the stereo that you plug to the car factory wire to, and know if it was positive or negative when you go plug it on the speaker.
