For bridged mode for a two-channel amplifier,

with a 4 W load, either wire two 8 W speakers

in parallel, Left + and Right * (Diagram A) or

use a single 4 W speaker. For other amplifiers,

please follow the speaker output connection

diagram for bridging shown on rear: two 8 W

speakers in parallel for a 4 W load or a single

4 W speaker per channel.

In addition, refer to the speaker instruction

manual for information on the correct connec-

tion procedure.

! For any further enquiries, contact your local

authorized Pioneer dealer or customer

service.

4 Speaker input wire

To the SP INPUT (speaker input) terminal of

this unit.

Note

If speaker input wires from a head unit are con-

nected to this amplifier, the amplifier will automa-

tically turn on when the head unit is turned on.

When the head unit is turned off, the amplifier

turns off automatically. This function may not

work with some headunits. In such cases, please

use a system remote control wire (sold sepa-

rately). If multiple amplifiers are to be connected

together synchronously, connect the head unit

and all amplifiers via the system remote control

wire.

Solderless terminal

connections

! Since the wire will become loose over time,

it must be periodically inspected and tigh-

tened as necessary.

! Do not solder or bind the ends of the

twisted wires.

! Fasten while making sure to not to clamp

the insulating sheath of the wire.

! Use the supplied hexagonal wrench to

tighten and loosen the terminal screw of

the amplifier and use it to securely fasten

the wire. Be careful to avoid excessive tigh-

tening of this screw, which may damage

the wire.

Connecting the power terminal

WARNING

If the battery wire is not securely fixed to the term-

inal using the terminal screws, there is a risk of

overheating, malfunction and injury, including

minor burns.

! Always use the recommended battery and

ground wire, which is sold separately. Con-

nect the battery wire directly to the car bat-

tery positive (+) terminal and the ground

wire to the car body.

! Recommended wires size (AWG: American

Wire Gauge) is as follows. The battery wire,

the ground wire and the optional direct

ground wire must be same size.

! Use a wire of 12 AWG to 16 AWG wire for

the speaker/subwoofer wire.
