connect to power source as follows:
+12V: Connect a red wire of at least 12 gauge to the car
battery or other power source.
GROUND: Connect a black wire of at least 12 gauge to car
chassis for ground connection
REMOTE: Connect an orange wire to remote activating (12V
DC) wire of car stereo or other head unit.
RCA cables are used to connect the subwoofer channel outputs
to the subwoofer channel amplifier inputs, the rear channel
outputs to the rear channel amplifier inputs, and the front
channel outputs to the front channel amplifier inputs.
RCA cables are used to connect your car stereo head unit, CD
player, or other source to either the line or aux inputs.

When making electrical
connections to your amplifier,
please observe the following:
Connect 12V DC from a constant battery source to a +12V slip-on spade terminal and install
a one (1) amp fuse in line.
Connect the signal processor’s GROUND to a good chassis ground, near where the unit is
mounted, or to the case of the head unit.
Connect the signal processor’s REMOTE TURN-ON lead to the remote turn-on lead out of
the head unit, and install a 1/2 amp fuse in line. (A relay should be used if turning on more
than one component, such as EQ’s, crossovers or amplifiers.)
Connect stereo RCA cables from the head’s left and right front outputs to the left and right
inputs of the signal processor.
Connect stereo RCA cables from the left and right outputs, (and low, mid and high outputs
if applicable), of the signal processor to the left and right inputs of your amplifier(s) or
additional signal processor(s).
Turn the unit on, and adjust the input gain on the signal processor to match the output of
the head unit (1/2, or at center position, is about 1 V). Be careful not to overdrive the input
of your amplifier(s) or signal processor(s).
Adjust each of the crossover or equalizer controls to achieve the desired sound characteristics.

troubleshooting
• Never drive with the volume raised so high
you cannot hear what is occuring in traffic
around you.
• Be aware that repeated exposure to excessive
volume levels can permanently damage your
hearing!
• Keep all electronics away from moisture, dust,
extreme heat or extreme vibrations.
• Pyle Audio products are capable of sound
pressure levels in excess of 150 dB. Continuous
exposure to sound pressure levels over 100 dB
may cause permanent loss of hearing. Use
common sense and PRACTICE SAFE SOUND.
If you experience...
Signal Processor does not turn on. Check that:
• Remote Turn-On wire has 12V.
• 12V wire has 12V.
• Ground wire is properly connected.
Level of sound is low. Check that:
• Wiring is not loose or cables misconnected/disconnected.
• RCA cables are not faulty.
Background noise is too high. Check that:
• Wiring is not loose or cables misconnected/disconnected.
• RCA cables are not faulty.
