Installation

CAUTION

•Do not install in:

—Places where it could injure the driver or pas- sengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.

—Places where it may interfere with the driver,

such as on the floor in front of the driver’s seat.

•Make sure that wires are not caught in the sliding mechanism of the seats, resulting in a short-cir- cuit.

•Confirm that no parts are behind the panel when drilling a hole for installation of the amplifier. Protect all cables and important equipment such as fuel lines, brake lines and electrical wiring from damage.

•Install tapping screws in such a way that the screw tip does not touch any wire. This is impor- tant to prevent wires from being cut by vibration of the car, which can result in fire.

•To prevent electric shock, do not install the ampli- fier in places where it might come in contact with liquids.

•To ensure proper installation, use the supplied parts in the manner specified. If any parts other than the supplied ones are used, they may damage internal parts of the amplifier, or they may become loose causing the amplifier to shut down.

To prevent malfunction

•To ensure proper heat dissipation of the amplifier, be sure of the following during installation.

—Allow adequate space above the amplifier for proper ventilation.

—Do not cover the amplifier with a floor mat or carpet.

•Do not install the amplifier near a door where it may get wet.

•Do not install the amplifier on unstable places such as the spare tire board.

•The best location for installation differs with the car model and installation location. Secure the amplifier at a sufficiently rigid location.

•Make temporary connections first and check that the amplifier and the system operate properly.

•After installing the amplifier, confirm that the spare tire, jack and tools can be easily removed.

Example of installation on the floor mat or on the chassis

1.Place the amplifier where it is to be

installed. Insert the supplied tap- ping screws (4 ⋅ 18 mm) into the screw holes. Push on the screws with a screwdriver so they make marks where the installation holes are to be located.

2.Drill 2.5 mm diameter holes at the point marked, and install the ampli- fier, either on the carpet or directly to the chassis.

GM-X574, GM-X374 specifications

The Pioneer GM-X374 and GM-X574 are distinguished amplifier models that capture the essence of dynamism and versatility in car audio systems. Both models are integral parts of the Pioneer amplifier series, designed to deliver high-performance sound amplification with advanced technological features, making them favorites among audio enthusiasts.

The GM-X374 is a 4-channel amplifier, allowing for versatile installation options in various vehicle configurations. One of its standout features is the compact, space-saving design, which facilitates easy mounting without consuming valuable real estate in the trunk or under seats. The amp boasts a power output of 50 watts per channel at 4 ohms and can deliver up to 90 watts per channel at 2 ohms. This ensures that users enjoy robust sound performance, even at higher volume levels, without distortion.

Pioneer's GM-X574 takes things up a notch with its 5-channel configuration, making it ideal for systems that require additional power for subwoofers. Its power output reaches 50 watts per channel for the four channels and a substantial 150 watts for the subwoofer channel at 4 ohms, ensuring a deep, resonant bass experience. This model is especially appealing to those who want to build a comprehensive sound system without needing multiple amplifiers.

Both amplifiers are equipped with an array of technologies that enhance their performance. The built-in crossover network allows users to tailor the sound output according to their preferences, making it easier to achieve a balanced audio experience. The adjustable high-pass and low-pass filters ensure that the right frequencies are sent to the appropriate speakers, vastly improving audio clarity.

Durability is another key characteristic of the GM-X374 and GM-X574. Both models are constructed with high-quality components designed to withstand the rigors of automotive environments. The heat sink design promotes efficient heat dissipation, allowing for extended use without overheating, thereby ensuring longevity and reliability.

The amplifiers are also equipped with RCA inputs, making them compatible with a wide array of head units. This flexibility allows for seamless integration into existing audio systems. These features, combined with easy installation options and a sleek design, make the Pioneer GM-X374 and GM-X574 excellent choices for anyone looking to elevate their car audio experience.
