want the stereo to turn on and off (such as a booster or a power

insulation for connection.
Note: This wire does not provide power to the components. It simply
turns them on or off. If you do not use this wire, secure it with
a wire tie and do not let it touch metal.

Refer to the equalizer/booster's owner's manual for directions.
