About This Product

This product is a class D amplifier for the subwoofer. If both L (left) and R (right) channels are connected to the RCA input of this product, output is mixed because this product is a mono amplifier.

CAUTION

• Never replace the fuse with one of greater value or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improper fuse could result in overheating and smoke and could cause damage to the product and injury including burns.
• Use the supplied hexagonal wrench to tighten screws when fastening wires to the terminal or when changing the direction of the badge. The use of a long, commercially available hexagonal wrench can cause excessive torque to be applied possibly resulting in damage to terminals and wires.

WARNING

• Always use the recommended battery wire and ground wire, 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 subwoofer, 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 subwoofer. 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.

MODE SELECT Switch

You can select amplifier's sync mode from MASTER, SYNC and SYNC INV. Set the MODE SELECT switch to the MASTER position when using one amplifier only. When using synchronously connecting two or more of these amplifiers in combination, set the first amplifier to MASTER, and set the remaining amplifiers to SYNC or SYNC INV according to the manner in which they are connected. The only time the amplifier is switched to the SYNC INV mode is when amplifiers are synchronously connected with the ex. bridge. When switching to the SYNC or SYNC INV mode, remove the screw and stopper. Remove the screw and stopper after checking that connections are correct. See the “Connecting the Speaker Wires” section for details on the MODE SELECT switch.

Bass Boost Frequency Control

You can select a bass boost frequency from 40 Hz to 120 Hz with the bass boost control.

Bass Boost Level Control

You can select a bass boost level from 0, 6, 9 and 12 dB. For instruction of connecting the bass boost remote control to the amplifier, see the “Connection Diagram” section.

Terminal Cover

Before setting up the unit, unfas- ten the screws with a 4 mm hexagonal wrench and remove the terminal cover.

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with labeled components and alignment indicators

Cut Off Frequency Control for LPF

You can select a cut off frequency from 40 Hz to 240 Hz.

Gain Control

If the sound level is too low, even when the volume of the car stereo used along with this power amplifier is turned up, turn gain control clockwise. If the sound distorts when the volume is turned up, turn the gain control counter-clockwise.

• When using with an RCA equipped car stereo (standard output of 500 mV), set to the NORMAL position. When using with an RCA equipped Pioneer car stereo with max. output of 4 V or more, adjust level to match the car stereo output level.
• For synced amplifier's gain control, see the "Setting the Gain for synced amplifier" section.

BFC (Beat Frequency Control) Switch

If you hear a beat while listening to an MW/LW broadcast with your car stereo, change the BFC switch using a small standard tip screwdriver.

Subsonic Select Switch

The subsonic filter cuts inaudible frequencies below 20 Hz to eliminate unwanted vibrations and minimize power loss.

Setting the Gain properly

• 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 preout maximum output level of the head unit.

Gain Control of This Unit

Preout level: 4 V Normal Preout level: 6.5 V 6.5V 0.4V GAIN Preout level: 2 V (Standard: 500 mV)

There is no need to decrease the volume of the head unit and too much output is controlled.

• With high output the signal waveform is distorted, if you raise the gain of the amplifier the power changes only slightly.
• 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.

CAUTION

• Disconnect the negative (−) terminal of the battery to avoid the risk of short-circuit and damage to the unit.
• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around it where they lie against metal parts.
• Do not route wires where they will get hot, for example where the heater will blow over them. If the insulation heats up, it may become damaged, resulting in a short-circuit through the vehicle body.

• The amplifier increases the load on the battery and charging system. Make sure that the vehicle's alternator and battery have sufficient capacity for this amplifier. The use of a heavy-duty battery, parallel connection of ordinary batteries or an energy storage capacitor is recommended.

• Make sure that wires will not interfere with moving parts of the vehicle, such as the gearshift, handbrake or seat sliding mechanism.

• Do not shorten any wires. Otherwise the protection circuit may fail to work when it should.
• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply wire to tap from the wire. The current capacity of the wire will be exceeded, causing overheating.
• Never replace the fuse with one of greater value or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improper fuse could result in overheating and smoke and could cause damage to the product and injury including burns.

CAUTION

To prevent damage and/or injury

• Do not ground the speaker wire directly or connect a negative (−) lead wire for several speakers.
• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a recreational vehicle, truck or bus, check the battery voltage.
• If the car stereo is kept on for a long time while the engine is at rest or idling, the battery may go dead. Turn the car stereo off when the engine is at rest or idling.
• If the system remote control wire of the amplifier is connected to the power terminal through the ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will always be on when the ignition is on—regardless of whether the car stereo is on or off. Because of this, the battery could go dead if the engine is at rest or idling.

• DO NOT connect a subwoofer with a lower impedance than specified in the “Connecting the Speaker Wires” section. Amplifier damage, smoke, and overheating could result from a non-specified connection. The amplifier surface could also become hot to the touch and minor burns could result.

• Connect either of three subwoofers to the amplifier; 1: a subwoofer with a 500W or larger nominal input and an impedance 4 , 2: a subwoofer with a 1000W or larger nominal input and an impedance 2 or 3: a subwoofer with a 1200W or larger nominal input and an impedance 1 . If the nominal input and impedance are out of the above ranges, the subwoofer may catch fire, emit smoke or become damaged.
  • Install and route the separately sold battery wire as far away as possible from the speaker wires. Install and route the separately sold battery wire, ground wire, speaker wires and the amplifier as far away as possible from the antenna, antenna cable and tuner.

- Cords for this product and those for other products may be different colors even if they have the same function. When connecting this product to another product, refer to the supplied manuals of both products and connect cords that have the same function.
