Product Usage Instructions

Precautions

1. Before drilling or cutting any holes, carefully investigate
   your car’s layout to avoid damaging fuel lines, gas tanks,
   hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring.

2. Do not operate the amplifier when it is unmounted. Securely
   attach all audio components.

Installation

1. Find a suitable location in the vehicle to mount the
   amplifier.

2. Ensure sufficient airflow around the intended mounting
   location.

3. Bolt the amplifier to the mounting surface.

4. Connect the power ground terminal to the nearest chassis point.
   Keep this ground wire less than 39 inches in length and use 8 gauge
   wire.

5. Connect the remote terminal to the remote output of the head
   unit using 14 gauge wire.

6. Install an empty fuse holder within 12 inches of the battery
   and run 8 gauge or larger high-quality cable from this fuse to the
   amplifier location.

7. Connect this cable to the BATT connection on the amplifier. If
   using multiple amplifiers, ensure proper power distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is it safe to use the amplifier with an impedance lower than

2 Ohms?

A: It is not recommended to use speaker impedance lower than 2
Ohms as it may lead to overheating or damage to the amplifier.

Q: What is the recommended fuse rating for the amplifier?

A: The recommended fuse rating varies by model. Refer to the
user manual or specifications for the correct fuse rating for your
specific amplifier model.

PRECAUTIONS 1. Before drilling or cutting any holes, carefully investigate your car’s layout to
avoid damaging fuel lines, gas tanks, hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring. 2. Do not operate the amplifier when it is unmounted. Securely attach all audio
system components within the vehicle to prevent damage, especially in the event of an accident. 3. Do not mount the amplifier in a manner that leaves wire connections unprotected or in a pinched condition. Ensure adequate ventilation for the amplifier. 4. Before making or breaking power connections, disconnect the vehicle battery. Ensure the head unit or other equipment is turned off while connecting the input jacks and speaker terminals. 5. If replacing the power fuse, only use a fuse identical to that supplied with the system. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in system damage not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
INSTALLATION 1. Find a suitable location in the vehicle to mount the amplifier. 2. Ensure sufficient airflow around the intended mounting location. 3. Bolt the amplifier to the mounting surface. 4. Connect the power ground terminal to the nearest chassis point.
Keep this ground wire less than 39 inches in length and use 8 gauge wire. 5. Connect the remote terminal to the remote output of the head unit using 14
gauge wire. 6. Install an empty fuse holder within 12 inches of the battery and run 8 gauge
or larger high-quality cable from this fuse to the amplifier location. 7. Connect this cable to the “BATT” connection on the amplifier. If using multiple
amplifiers, use separate cables with their own fuse at the battery or a #0 or

2 cable from the fuse holder at the battery to a distribution block near the

amplifier’s location. 8. Connect all line inputs and outputs using high- quality RCA cables. 9. Insert fuse(s) at the battery fuse holder(s). 10. Recheck all connections before powering up. 11. Set all level controls to their least sensitive positions and adjust all crossover controls, switches, etc., to the desired frequency or position. 12. Power up the system and set the head unit volume to about the 2 o’clock position, then adjust the amplifier’s level controls for maximum output. 13. Further fine-tuning of the various controls may be necessary to achieve the desired sound quality.

TROUBLESHOOTING AMPLIFIER WILL NOT POWER UP · Check for a good ground connection. · Ensure that the remote DC terminal has at least 3V DC. · Verify battery power on the + terminal. · Inspect all fuses. · Check that the Protection LED is not lit. If it is, shut off the amplifier briefly and
then repower it. HIGH HISS OR ENGINE NOISE (ALTERNATOR WHINE) IN SPEAKERS
· Disconnect all RCA inputs to the amplifier(s). If hiss/noise disappears, then
plug in the component driving the amplifier and unplug its inputs. Continue until the faulty/noisy component is identified.
· Set the amplifier’s input level as low as possible. The best subjective S/N ratio
is obtainable this way. Try to drive the signal level from the head unit as high as possible.
www.PyleUSA.com 11

PROTECTION LED COMES ON WHEN THE AMPLIFIER IS POWERED UP
· Check for shorts on speaker leads. · Ensure the volume control on the head unit is turned down low. · Remove speaker leads and reset the amplifier.
If the Protection LED still comes on, the amplifier may be faulty.
AMPLIFIER(S) GETS VERY HOT
· Verify that the minimum speaker impedance for the model is correct. · Check for speaker shorts. · Ensure good airflow around the amplifier. In some applications, an external
cooling fan may be required.
DISTORTED SOUND
· Verify that the Level control(s) is set to match the signal level of the head unit. · Ensure all crossover frequencies are properly set. · Check for shorts on the speaker leads.
HIGH SQUEAL NOISE FROM SPEAKERS Ensure all connections are secure and no components are loose.
CLEANING AND STORAGE CLEANING Exterior Surface: To clean the exterior surface of your amplifier, use a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild detergent. Avoid using any harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the surface finish.
Vents and Openings: Ensure that the ventilation openings are free from dust and debris. Use a can of compressed air to gently blow out any accumulated dust, taking care not to force debris deeper into the unit.
12 www.PyleUSA.com

STORAGE Disconnect All Cables: Before storing the amplifier, disconnect all power, input, and output cables. Store these cables separately to avoid tangling and potential damage.
Cool, Dry Environment: Store the amplifier in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Extreme temperatures and humidity can affect the performance and longevity of the unit.
Protect from Dust: If possible, store the amplifier in its original packaging or a dust cover to protect it from dust accumulation. Alternatively, place it in a padded storage case.
Avoid Stacking: Do not stack heavy objects on top of the amplifier during storage, as this can cause physical damage to the unit.
