Thank you for purchasing this PIONEER product. Before attempting operation, be sure to read this manual.

In case of trouble

When the unit does not operate properly, contact your dealer or the nearest autho- rized PIONEER Service Station.

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 over- heating and smoke and could cause dam- age to the product and injury including burns.

<ENGLISH>

WARNING

• Always use the special red battery and ground

wire [RD-223] and [RD-222], which are sold sep-

arately. Connect the battery wire directly to the

car battery positive terminal (+) and the ground

wire to the car body. There is the risk of a fuse

burning out if only one of these is connected.

• 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

speakers, 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 speakers.

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.

Setting the Unit

Power Indicator

The power indicator lights when the power is switched on.

Terminal Cover

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

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 remain- ing 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 INV mode, the seal over the MODE SELECT switch must be peeled off and you can find SYNC INV switch. Peel off the seal after checking that connections are correct. See the “Connecting the Speaker Wires” section for details on the MODE SELECT switch.

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 vol- ume 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.

•If you hear too much noise when using the speaker input terminals, turn the gain control counter-clockwise.

Cut Off Frequency Control for LPF

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

• 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.

Bass Boost 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.

Subsonic Select Switch

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

BFC (Beat Frequency Control) Switch

BFC switch is on the bottom of the unit. If you hear a beat while listening to an AM broadcast with your car stereo, change the BFC switch using a small standard tip screwdriver.

It is possible to input from a car stereo external output or a car stereo speaker output. Switch the input switch before turning on the power. Since switching the input switch while the power is on can cause a loud noise to be emitted from the speakers, the power is turned off by a protection function. When using an external output, slide the switch to the left. For con- nection instructions, see the “Connection Diagram” section. When using a speaker output, slide the switch to the right. In this case, it is necessary to use the supplied speaker input wire with RCA pin cord. For details, see the “Using the Speaker Input” section.

POWER MODE Switch

When using speakers with synthetic impeadance 2 Ω to 8 Ω, slide the switch to the right (NORMAL). When using speakers with synthetic impeadance from 1 Ω to less than 2 Ω, slide the switch to the left (HI-CURRENT). These settings are only used when using a single amplifier. See the “Connecting the Speaker Wires” section when combining the use of multi- ple amplifiers.

If the speaker impedance exceeds 2 Ω (4 Ω when using ex. bridge), although the POWER MODE switch be may set to the HI-CURRENT position, setting to the NORMAL position makes it possible to enjoy high power sound.
