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
· Handling the cord on this product or cords associ-
ated with accessories sold with the product will
expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State
of California and other governmental entities to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm. Wash hands after handling.
· Always use the recommended battery wire and
ground wire, which is sold separately. Connect the
battery wire directly to the car battery positive ter-
minal (+) 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.

CAUTION:
To prevent damage and/or injury
· 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
of whether the car stereo is on or off. Because of
this, the battery could go dead if the engine is at
rest or idling.
· DO NOT connect a subwoofer with a lower
impedance than specified in the "Connecting the
Unit" section. Amplifier damage, smoke, and
overheating could result from a non-specified con-
nection. The amplifier surface could also become
hot to the touch and minor burns could result.
· Connect either of two subwoofers to the amplifier;
1: a subwoofer with a 500 W or larger nominal
input and an impedance 4
, or 2: a subwoofer
with a 1,000 W or larger nominal input and an
impedance 2
. If the nominal input and imped-
ance 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.
Install and route the separately sold battery wire,
ground wire, speaker wires and the amplifier as
far away as possible from the antenna, antenna
cable and tuner.
· Cords for this product and those for other prod-
ucts may be different colors even if they have the
same function. When connecting this product to
another product, refer to the supplied Installation
manuals of both products and connect cords that
have the same function.
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.
· 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.

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.
· 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.
CAUTION:
To prevent malfunction and/or injury
· 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 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.
· 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 tapping
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

ATTENTION
· Utilisez le câble de liaison à la batterie et le câble
de masse conseillés; ils sont vendus séparément.
Reliez le câble rouge à la borne positive (+) de la
batterie et le câble de masse à la carrosserie du
véhicule.
· Ne touchez pas l'amplificateur quand vous avez
les mains mouillées, faute de quoi vous risquez de
ressentir une secousse électrique. Pareillement, ne
touchez pas l'amplificateur s'il est mouillé.
· Pour votre sécurité et celles des autres usagers de
la route, maintenez le niveau d'écoute à une
valeur telle que les bruits de la circulation
demeurent nettement perceptibles.
· Vérifiez les raccordements de l'alimentation et du
haut-parleur d'extrêmes graves si le fusible du
câble de liaison (vendu séparément) à la batterie
vient à griller. Recherchez la cause de l'anomalie
puis corrigez-la; enfin, remplacez le fusible grillé
par un fusible de même taille et de même calibre.
· Pour éviter d'endommager l'amplificateur et du
haut-parleur d'extrême grave, le circuit de
protection coupe l'alimentation de l'amplificateur
(les sons ne sont plus émis) dès que survient une
situation anormale. Dans ce cas, mettez
l'ensemble des appareils hors tension et contrôlez
les liaisons entre l'amplificateur et du haut-parleur
d'extrême grave. Le cas échéant, recherchez la
cause de l'anomalie et corrigez-la.
· Consultez le revendeur si vous n'êtes pas en
mesure de résoudre le problème qui se pose à
vous.
· Pour éviter toute secousse électrique et tout risque
de court-circuit au cours des opérations de
raccordement et d'installation, n'oubliez pas de
débrancher le câble relié au pôle négatif de la
batterie (­) avant d'effectuer quelque opération
que ce soit.
· Avant d'effectuer un perçage requis par
l'installation de l'amplificateur, assurez-vous que
vous pouvez le faire sans danger pour les câbles,
canalisations, flexibles, etc., qui sont placés
derrière le panneau que vous devez percer.
· NE LAISSEZ PAS l'amplificateur entrer en
contact avec des liquides à cause, par exemple, de
l'emplacement où il a été placé. Cela pourrait
entraîner une secousse électrique. De plus, le
contact avec un liquide pourrait endommager
l'amplificateur et les enceintes, produire de la
fumée ou surchauffer l'appareil. Enfin, la surface
de l'amplificateur et des enceintes connectées peut
devenir chaude au toucher et entraîner de légères
brûlures.

Réglage de l'appareil
Commande de fréquence de
l'accentuation des graves
Cette commande permet de choisir la
fréquence, entre 40 Hz et 120 Hz, autour
de laquelle doit s'effectuer
l'accentuation.
Témoin d'alimentation
Ce témoin s'éclaire lorsque
l'amplificateur est sous tension.
Commande d'amplitude de
l'accentuation des graves
Après avoir choisie la fréquence grave à
accentuer au moyen de la commande de
fréquence, il est possible de faire varier,
dans la plage de 0 à 12 dB, l'amplitude
des signaux au voisinage de cette
fréquence en agissant sur la commande
d'amplitude.
Commande de la fréquence
de coupure pour LPF
La fréquence de coupure peut être
choisie entre 40 et 240 Hz.
Commande du gain
Si le niveau d'écoute est faible même
lorsque la commande de l'autoradio est
sur la position correspondant au
maximum, tournez la commande de gain,
placée à l'avant de l'amplificateur, dans le
sens des aiguilles d'une montre.
Inversement, si vous constatez de la
distorsion lorsque vous augmentez le
niveau de sortie de l'autoradio, tournez
cette commande dans le sens contraire
des aiguilles d'une montre.
· Choisissez la position NORMAL si
l'autoradio stéréo est équipé de prises
Cinch (RCA) (niveau de sortie standard à
500 mV). Si cet appareil est utilisé
conjointement avec un autoradio stéréo
Pioneer pourvu de prises Cinch (RCA) sur
lesquelles peuvent se trouver une tension
de sortie de 4 V ou plus, réglez le niveau
en fonction du niveau de sortie de
l'autoradio.
· Pour la commande de gain de
l'amplificateur associé, reportez-vous à la
section "Réglage du gain de l'amplificateur
associé".
Sélecteur infrasonore
Le filtre infrasonore coupe les
fréquences inférieures à 20 Hz afin de
supprimer les vibrations indésirables et
de réduire les pertes de puissance.
Commutateur MODE SELECT
Vous pouvez sélectionner le mode de
synchronisation de l'amplificateur, à
savoir MASTER, SYNC et SYNC INV.
Pour ce qui concerne la position du
commutateur MODE SELECT, reportez-
vous à la section "Connexion des câbles
des haut-parleurs".
