WARNINGS-

•

When

routing

leads

and

cords,

secure

them

with

cable

retainers

and

electrician's

adhesive

tape.

Also,

to

prevent

any

damage

to

the

insulation

on

the

leads

and

cords,

protect

them

with

electrician's

adhesive

tape

wherever

they

touch

sharp

edges.

Be

sure

to

use

a

rubber

O-ring

grommet

when

routing

wires

through

metal,

such

as

the

firewall

between

the

engine

and

passenger

compartments.

•

Keep

ail

wiring

away

from

hot

surfaces

or

heater

outlets

to

prevent

short

circuits.

•

Amplifier

ground

connections

(Black)

should

only

be

made

to

the

vehicle's

metal

body

or

chassis

for

safety

reasons.

The

ground

circuit

carries

the

same

current

as

the

power

lead

from

the

vehicle's

battery.

To

get

good

contact

when

grounding,

sand

the

metal

surface

to

expose

the

bare

metal.

If

using

multiple

amplifiers,

connect

all

amplifier

ground

leads

to

the

same

point

to

prevent

noise

problems.

•

Always

connect

the

supplied

special

(red)

battery

lead

directly

to

the

positive

(+)

terminal

of

the

battery.

•

It

is

recommended

that

the

speakers

connected

to

the

amplifier

have

the

minimum

ratings

shown

below.

If

a

speaker

has

a

rating

below

what

is

recommended,

it

may

be

damaged

when

the

volume

is

turned

In

•

Never

connect

a

speaker

lead

to

ground

or

to

other

speaker

grounds.

The

protection

circuitry

will

operate

instantaneously,

turning

off

the

amplifier.

•

To

prevent

noise

problems,

keep

the

amplifier

power

leads

away

from

the

signal

cords

{RCA

cords)

and

speaker

leads.

Also,

keep

the

power

leads

away

from

any

antenna

cords.

•

Before

finalizing

the

installation,

turn

everything

on,

and

make

sure

everything

works

correctly

and

listen

for

noise

in

the

system.

•

For

detailed

information

on

connections

between

different

units

and

the

amplifier,

use

the

instruction

manuals

for

the

units.

It

is

important

to

follow

their

recommendations

precisely.

Connecting

the

special

red

battery

lead

Use

the

special

(red)

battery

lead

supplied

with

the

amplifier.

This

lead

contains

the

appropriately

rated

fuse

[30-amp

fuse

(x2)].

This

special

(red)

battery

lead

is

made

of

heavy

gauge

wire

so

it

is

capable

of

carrying

substantial

amounts

of

current.

Connect

both

of

the

two

terminals

at

each

end

of

the

battery

lead

securely.

Should

any

one

terminal

come

loose,

there

may

be

a

short

circuit,

perhaps

causing

electric

shock

or

even

a

fire.

Route

the

special

battery

lead

from

the

engine

compartment

through

the

firewall

or

vehicle

body

to

the

passenger

compartment

and

connect

it

to

the

amplifier.

Drill

an

14-mm

diameter

hole

in

the

firewall

or

vehicle

body

and

insert

an

O-ring

rubber

grommet

and

pull

the

battery

lead

through

into

the

passenger

compartment.

Note:

The

O-ring

rubber

grommet

is

important

because

it

protects

the

insulation

on

the

battery

lead

from

being

worn

away

from

normal

vibrations

and

rubbing

against

sharp

metal

edges.

Failure

to

install

this

grommet

could

result

in

a

short

circuit

and

fire.

While

installing

the

wires,

do

not

connect

the

positive

(+)

lead

of

the

battery

until

the

other

leads

have

been

connected.

This

will

prevent

accidental

shorting

to

any

other

wiring

or

ground.

After

making

all

other

connections

at

the

amplifier,

connect

the

battery

lead

terminal

of

the

amplifier

to

the

positive

{+}

terminal

of

the

battery-

vehicle

body.

After

all

the

other

leads

have

been

connected,

connect

both

terminals

to

the

positive

(+)

terminal

of

the

battery

After

making

all

other

connections

at

the

amplifier,

connect

the

terminal

of

The

require

advanced

understanding

of

Three-channel

mode

(stereo

+

The

power

amplifier

is

basically

a

two-channel/one-channet

bridgeable

amplifier,

but

three

channels

can

be

achieved

by

combining

the

stereo

and

mono

modes

using

inductors

and

capacitors.

Some

typical

examples

are

given

below.

The

inductor

(LI

or

in

the

diagram)

acts

as

a

low-pass

filter.

The

capacitor

(Cl

or

C2

in

the

diagram)

acts

as

a

high-pass

filter.

•

In

the

three-channel

mode

Pioneer

recommends

that

an

inductor

(U

be

used

on

the

woofer/subwoofer,

and

that

a

capacitor

(C)

be

used

on

the

midrange/tweeter.

Remem¬

ber

when

bridging

an

amplifier

it

will

see

only

half

of

the

original

speaker

impedance.

Therefore,

you

must

use

speakers

that

have

ratings

of

4

ohms

or

higher.

If

you

use

speakers

that

have

lower

impedance

ratings

it

may

cause

damage

to

the

amplifier.

•

When

the

inductors

and

capacitors

are

connected

to

the

speaker

leads,

secure

or

solder

them

so

they

cannot

be

pulled

loose.

or

use

heat

on

prevent

•

Before

finalizing

installation,

turn

everything

on,

and

make

sure

everything

works

correctly

and

that

no

noise

is

getting

into

the

system.

•

When

routing

leads

and

cords,

secure

them

with

cable

retainers

and

electrician's

adhesive

tape.

Also,

to

prevent

any

damage

to

the

insulation

on

the

leads

and

cords,

protect

them

with

electrician's

adhesive

tape

wherever

they

may

touch

sharp

edges.

•

Keep

all

wiring

away

from

hot

surfaces

or

heater

outlets

to

prevent

short

circuits,

•

It

is

recommended

that

the

speakers

connected

to

the

amplifier

have

the

ratings

shown

below,

or

higher.

If

a

has

a

recommended,

it

may

To

prevent

noise

problems,

keep

the

to

the

away

from

the

signal

cords

and

speaker

leads.

Also,

keep

the

away

from

be

connected

to

amplifiers,

connect

all

To

get

good

contact

when

you

may

have

to

sand

away

the

To

operate

the

properly,

connect

the

and

the

lead

(red/black)

correctly.

If

the

are

not

connected

correctly

or

are

not

will

not

work.

To

connect

the

amplifier

to

the

RCA

pin

jacks

of

a

car

stereo

component,

use

an

audio

cord

with

RCA

pin

plugs.

To

connect

the

amplifier

to

the

DIN

of

a
