2 Ω Bridged Mode

Do NOT install or use your Pioneer amplifier by wiring speakers rated at 4 Ω (or lower) in parallel to achieve a 2 Ω (or lower) bridged mode (Diagram B).

Amplifier damage, smoke, and overheating could result from improper bridging. The amplifier surface could also become hot to the touch and minor burns could result.

To properly install or use a bridged mode for a two-channel amplifier and achieve a 4 Ω load, wire two 8 Ω speakers in parallel with Left + and Right - (Diagram A) or use a single 4 Ω speaker. For a four-channel amplifier, follow the speaker output connection diagram for bridging as shown on the back of your amplifier, and wire two 8 Ω speakers in parallel to achieve a 4 Ω load or use a single 4 Ω speaker per channel.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local authorized Pioneer dealer or call Pioneer customer service.

WARNING

• Always use the special rod battery and ground wire [RD-223], which is sold separately. Connect the battery wire directly to the car battery positive terminal (+) and the ground wire to the car body.
• Do not touch the amplifier with wet hands. Otherwise you may get an electric shock. Also, do not touch the amplifier when it is wet.
• For traffic safety and to maintain safe driving conditions, keep the volume low enough so that you can still hear normal traffic sound.
• Check the connections of the power supply and speakers if the fuse of the separately sold battery wire or the amplifier fuse blows. Detect the cause and solve the problem, then replace the fuse with another one of the same size and rating.
• To prevent malfunction of the amplifier and speakers, the protective circuit will cut the power supply to the amplifier (sound will stop) when an abnormal condition occurs. In such a case, switch the power to the system OFF and check the connection of the power supply and speakers. Detect the cause and solve the problem.
• Contact the dealer if you cannot detect the cause.
• To prevent an electric shock or short-circuit during connection and installation, be sure to disconnect the negative (--) terminal of the battery beforehand.
• Confirm that no parts are behind the panel when drilling a hole for installation of the amplifier. Be sure to protect all cables and important equipment such as fuel lines, brake lines and the electrical wiring from damage.
• DO NOT allow amplifier to come into contact with liquids due to, for example, the location where the amplifier is installed. Electrical shock could result. Also, amplifier and speaker damage, smoke, and overheating could result from contact with liquids. In addition, the amplifier surface and the surface of any attached speakers could become hot to the touch and minor burns could result.

Additional information

• This unit is equipped with a protective function to prevent malfunction of the unit itself and speakers from too much output, improper use or improper connection.
• When outputting sound at high volume etc., this function will cut off the sound output in a few seconds. But this is not a malfunction. When you turn down the volume of the head unit the sound output will be restored.
• If sound output is cut, the gain control of this unit may be improperly set. To ensure continuous sound output at increased volume of the head unit, set the gain control of the amplifier to a proper position according to the precout maximum output level of the head unit (Fig. 1). There is no need to decrease the volume of the head unit and too much output is controlled (Fig. 2. Fig. 3).
• If you decrease the volume of the head unit and set the gain control of the amplifier to the proper position but still the sound cuts out from time to time, contact the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station.
