Setting the unit What’s what when the car stereo volume is turned up, turn these controls to a higher level. ! For use with an RCA equipped car stereo (standard output of 500 mV), set to the NORMAL position. For use with an RCA equipped Pioneer car stereo, with maximum output of 4 V or more, adjust level to match that of the car stereo output. ! For use with an RCA equipped car stereo with output of 4 V, set to the H position.
Setting the unit ! A cut in sound output may indicate improper setting of the gain control. To ensure continuous sound output with the head unit at a high volume, set amplifier gain control to a level appropriate for the preout maximum output level of the head unit, so that volume can remain unchanged and to control excess output. ! Despite correct volume and gain settings, the unit sound still cuts out periodically. In such cases, please contact the nearest authorized Pioneer Service Station.
Connecting the units Connection diagram 7 7 2 3 8 9 6 8 4 5 9 a b c b c a d e f 1 e d i h j f g g 1 Battery wire (sold separately) ! The maximum length of the wire between the fuse and the positive + terminal of the battery is 30 cm (12 in.). ! For the wire size, refer to Connecting the power terminal. The battery wire, the ground wire and the optional direct ground wire must be same size.
Connecting the units ! Never wire the speaker negative cable directly to ground. ! Never band together multiple speaker’s negative cables. ! If the system remote control wire of the amplifier is connected to the power terminal via the ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will remain on with the ignition whether the car stereo is on or off, which may exhaust battery if the engine is at rest or idling. ! Install and route the separately sold battery wire as far as possible from the speaker wires.
Connecting the units Connections when using the speaker input wire Solderless terminal connections Connect the car stereo speaker output wires to the amplifier using the supplied speaker input wire with RCA pin cord. ! Since the wire will become loose over time, it must be periodically inspected and tightened 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.
Connecting the units 1 Route battery wire from engine compartment to the vehicle interior. 7 6 2 ! When drilling a cable pass-hole into the vehicle body and routing a battery wire thorough it, take care not to short-circuit the wire damaging it by the cut edges or burrs of the hole. 4 1 3 After completing all other amplifier connections, finally connect the battery wire terminal of the amplifier to the positive + battery terminal.
Connecting the units Installation Connecting the speaker output terminals Before installing the amplifier 1 Use wire cutters or a utility knife to strip the end of the speaker wires to expose about 10 mm (3/8 in.) of wire and then twist the wire. ! To ensure proper installation, use the supplied parts in the manner specified. If any parts other than those supplied are used, they may damage internal parts of the amplifier, or become loose causing the amplifier to shut down.
Installation Attaching the Bass boost remote control 3 Install the amplifier with the use of supplied tapping screws (4 mm × 18 mm (5/32 in. × 3/4 in.)). Attach with tapping screws (3 mm × 10 mm (1/8 in. × 3/8 in.)) at an easily accessible location such as under the dashboard. 1 3 2 Tapping screws (3 mm × 10 mm (1/8 in. × 3/ 8 in.))
