4 Ohm Bridged Mode | 2 Ohm Bridged Mode |
Do NOT install or use your Pioneer ampli- fier by wiring speakers rated at 4 Ohm (or lower) in parallel to achieve a 2 Ohm (or lower) bridged mode (Diagram B). Amplifier damage, smoke, and overheat- ing 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
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
Ωload 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.
