Signal Processor enclosure This Half-DIN size unit can also be installed in the dash adjacent to the head unit, provided that there is a slot available. Mounting Bracket 4 x 12 mm self-tapping screw (2) 4 mm spring washer (2) 4 mm plain washer (2) wiring tips When making electrical connections to your amplifier, please observe the following: Connect 12V DC from a constant battery source to a +12V slip-on spade terminal and install a one (1) amp fuse in line. Connect the signal processor's GROUND to a good chassis ground, near where the unit is mounted, or to the case of the head unit. Connect the signal processor's REMOTE TURN-ON lead to the remote turn-on lead out of the head unit, and install a 1/2 amp fuse in line. (A relay should be used if turning on more than one component, such as EQ's, crossovers or amplifiers.) Connect stereo RCA cables from the head's left and right front outputs to the left and right inputs of the signal processor. Connect stereo RCA cables from the left and right outputs, (and low, mid and high outputs if applicable), of the signal processor to the left and right inputs of your amplifier(s) or additional signal processor(s). Turn the unit on, and adjust the input gain on the signal processor to match the output of the head unit (1/2, or at center position, is about 1 V). Be careful not to overdrive the input of your amplifier(s) or signal processor(s). Adjust each of the crossover or equalizer controls to achieve the desired sound characteristics. 8 owner's manual electrical connections ple730r ple520p rear sub OUTPUT rear INPUT front line aux L R L R L R L R L R RED WIRE ORANGE WIRE Fuse 1A Fuse 0.5A to remote turn-on +12V head unit 12V battery BLACK WIRE 9 system wiring ple730r ple520p left and right line outputs from head unit left and right line inputs basic system application using front, rear, and subwoofer amps sub OUTPUT rear INPUT front line aux L R L R L R L R L R + ­ + FRONT CHANNEL power amplifier L FRONT CHANNEL speakers R ­ + ­ + REAR CHANNEL power amplifier L REAR CHANNEL speakers R ­ 1 0 SUB CHANNEL power amplifier + L ­ SUB CHANNEL speakers R + ­ owner's manual system wiring basic system application using a 4 channel amp and subwoofer amp left and right line outputs from head unit left and right line inputs ple730r ple520p sub OUTPUT rear INPUT front line aux L R L R L R L R L R + + ­ + 4 CHANNEL power amplifier ­ L/R FRONT speakers L/R REAR speakers ­ + ­ SUB CHANNEL power amplifier + L ­ SUB CHANNEL speakers R + ­ 1 1 precautions ple730r ple520p · Never drive with the volume raised so high you cannot hear what is occuring in traffic around you. · Be aware that repeated exposure to excessive volume levels can permanently damage your hearing! · Keep all electronics away from moisture, dust, extreme heat or extreme vibrations. · Pyle Audio products are capable of sound pressure levels in excess of 150 dB.
