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.
WARNING
· Always use the recommended battery wire and
ground wire, which is sold separately. Connect
the battery wire directly to the car battery positive
terminal (+) and the ground wire to the car body.
· 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
subwoofer if a fuse for the separately sold battery
wire blows. Detect the cause and solve the prob-
lem, then replace the fuse with another one of the
same size and rating.
· To prevent malfunction of the amplifier and sub-
woofer, 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 subwoofer.
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.
· 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.

Setting the Unit
Bass Boost Frequency Control
You can select a bass boost frequency
from 40 to 120 Hz with the bass boost
control.
Bass Boost Level Control
Bass boost level control can boost the
level around the frequency selected by
the bass boost frequency control from 0
to 12 dB.
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 on the front of the
power amplifier clockwise. If the sound
distorts when the volume 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.
· For synced amplifier's gain control,
see the "Setting the Gain for Synced
Amplifier" section.
MODE SELECT Switch
You can select amplifier's sync mode
from MASTER, SYNC and SYNC INV.
For the position of the MODE SELECT
switch, see the "Connecting the Speaker
Wires" section.

Power Indicator
The power indicator lights when the
power is switched on.
Cut Off Frequency Control for LPF
You can select a cut off frequency from
40 to 240 Hz.
BFC (Beat Frequency Control) Switch
If you hear a beat while listening to an
MW/LW broadcast with your car stereo,
change the BFC switch using a small
standard tip screwdriver.
Subsonic Select Switch
The subsonic filter cuts inaudible fre-
quencies below 20 Hz to eliminate
unwanted vibrations and minimize
power loss.
