For details, see Setting the Unit on page 5. !If the system remote control wire of the amplifier is connected to the power terminal via the ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will remain on with the ignition whether the car stereo is on or off, which may exhaust battery if the engine is at rest or idling. Install and route the separately sold battery wire as far 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. About bridged mode Before connecting the amplifier WARNING !Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap sections in contact with metal parts in adhesive tape. Never cut the insulation of the power supply to feed power to other equipment. Current capacity of the wire is limited. Improper connection to the amplifier may result in malfunction or personal injury due to burns from overheating. For bridged mode for a two-channel amplifier, with a 4 W load, either wire two 8 W speakers in parallel, Left + and Right * (Diagram A) or use a single 4 W speaker. For other amplifiers, please follow the speaker output connection diagram for bridging shown on rear: two 8 W speakers in parallel for a 4 W load or a single 4 W speaker per channel. For any further enquiries, contact your local authorized Pioneer dealer or customer service. CAUTION !Never shorten any wires, the protection circuit may malfunction. Never wire the speaker negative cable directlyto ground. Never band together multiple speaker'snegative cables. 8 En Section Connecting the units 03 About suitable specification of speaker Ensure speakers conform to the following standards, otherwise there is a risk of fire, smoke or damage. Speaker impedance is 2 W to 8 W, or 4 W to 8 W for two-channel and other bridge connections.
