Connecting the Unit

CAUTION

•Disconnect the negative (–) terminal of the battery to avoid the risk of short-circuit and damage to the unit.

•Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around it where they lie against metal parts.

•Do not route wires where they will get hot, for example where the heater will blow over them. If the insulation heats up, it may become damaged, resulting in a short-circuit through the vehicle body.

•Make sure that wires will not interfere with mov- ing parts of the vehicle, such as the gearshift, handbrake or seat sliding mechanism.

•Do not shorten any wires. Otherwise the protec- tion circuit may fail to work when it should.

•Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply wire to tap from the wire. The current capacity of the wire will be exceeded, causing overheating.

•Never replace the fuse with one of greater value or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improp- er fuse could result in overheating and smoke and could cause damage to the product and injury including burns.

Connection Diagram

•This diagram shows connections using external output. Slide the input switch to the left.

•In the case of connecting the external output from a car stereo to an RCA input, use the jack used for full- range output. This is because the LPF of the amplifier cannot be turned OFF. If this jack cannot be used, connect the subwoofer output jack to the RCA input.

•When you connect with speaker output, connections defers from the diagram. For details, see the “Using the Speaker Input” section. In either case, you need to set the input switch. For details, see the “Setting the Unit” section.

•Always use the special red battery and ground wire ([RD-223] and [RD-222]), which are sold separately. 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 ground the speaker wire directly or con-

nect a negative (–) lead wire for several speakers.

• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and

negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre-

ational vehicle, truck or bus, check the battery

voltage.

• If the car stereo is kept on for a long time while

the engine is at rest or idling, the battery may go

dead. Turn the car stereo off when the engine is at

rest or idling.

• If the system remote control wire of the amplifier

is connected to the power terminal through the

ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will

always be on when the ignition is on— regardless

• Connect either of three subwoofers to the amplifi-

er; 1: a subwoofer with a 420 W or larger nominal

input and an impedance 4 Ω, 2: a subwoofer with

a 600 W or larger nominal input and an imped-

ance 2 Ω or 3: a subwoofer with a 600 W or larg-

er nominal input and an impedance 1 Ω. If the

nominal input and impedance are out of the above

ranges, the subwoofer may catch fire, emit smoke

or become damaged.

• Install and route the separately sold battery wire

as far away as possible from the speaker wires.

•As a result of connecting the car stereo speaker output wire to the amplifier, the power of the amplifier is turned on automatically when the car stereo is turned on. It is not necessary to connect the system remote control wire in this case.

•In the case the amplifier and head unit are con- nected using a speaker input wire with RCA pin cord, the amplifier power is only turned on when one amplifier is being used. If two or more ampli- fiers are synchronously connected in combination, connect the head unit and all of the amplifiers with the system remote control wire.

Note:

•Connect the system remote control wire when the power of the amplifier is not to be turned on when the car stereo is turned on.

PRS-D1000M specifications

The Pioneer PRS-D1000M is a versatile and powerful car amplifier designed to enhance the audio experience in vehicles. Known for its robust performance and innovative features, this amplifier is ideal for enthusiasts seeking to elevate their sound system.

One of the main features of the PRS-D1000M is its impressive power output. It delivers up to 1000 watts of maximum power, allowing users to drive high-performance subwoofers and achieve deep, thunderous bass. With its RMS power rating of 500 watts at 2 ohms, this amplifier ensures that even the most demanding audio setups can be accommodated, making it suitable for both daily driving and competition use.

The PRS-D1000M employs Class D technology, which is crucial for efficiency and heat management. Class D amplifiers convert a higher percentage of the power drawn from the vehicle's electrical system into usable output, resulting in less heat generation and lower energy consumption. This is particularly beneficial for car audio systems, where space and power are often at a premium.

Another notable characteristic is the built-in low-pass filter, which allows users to tailor the sound by eliminating higher frequencies that can muddy the bass response. The variable frequency adjustment lets users set the cutoff point according to their specific subwoofer and listening preferences, resulting in a more refined audio experience.

The Pioneer PRS-D1000M also features a bass boost function, which lets users increase low-frequency output for a more pronounced bass response. This is especially useful for those who love bass-heavy music genres. The amplifier's compact design makes it easy to install in various locations within the vehicle, ensuring that it doesn't compromise valuable space.

Furthermore, the amplifier is equipped with RCA inputs for seamless integration with other audio components. It includes speaker-level inputs, allowing it to connect to factory audio systems without needing to replace the head unit.

In conclusion, the Pioneer PRS-D1000M is engineered for performance, efficiency, and flexibility. With its powerful output, advanced technologies, and user-friendly features, it is an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their car's audio system and enjoy a superior listening experience on the road.
