Hey Debbie,

Stereo manufacturers use different wire harnesses for every stereo for some reason so you'll want to get the wiring diagram for your AWM900S and the # JWM60A and then you can just swap wire over by function so that everything is wired correctly. I've attached the wiring diagrams for both below.

Your diagrams helped immensely with installation. ! My problem is our Voyager is/was wired for 2 sets of speakers inside and outside and the Jenson is wired for three sets of speakers. We capped the extra wires (C) off, but we cannot get the inside speakers to work at all. We tried to hook the extra ‘C’ wires up matching + to + and - to - to no avail. Any advice would be most appreciated.

@Jinny are you sure you have the inside speakers ran correctly to the zone 1 wiring of the stereo? Are you daisy chaining any of the speaker wiring together by chance?

@JamesonC Thanks so much for your reply! After further investigation, I did have two speaker wires connected to a single speaker. When all was said and done, I had to cap as many wires as I used to set up my system. I am very happy with this change out. The Jensen fit perfectly in the same cut out as the old Voyager. Only modification was to drill two new holes to attach it the wall, as the Jenson’s were spaced a little further apart. This stereo is twenty-two years newer and has a lot more features to enjoy!
