Connecting The Speaker Wires - Pioneer GM-X562 Owner's Manual

Connecting the Speaker wires

The speaker output mode can be two-chan-
nel (stereo), one-channel (mono), or three-
channel (stereo + mono). Connect the
speaker leads to suit the mode according to
the figures shown below.
• Do not connect both the RCA input and the
speaker input at the same time.
Two-channel mode (stereo)
One-channel mode (mono)
Three-channel mode (stereo + mono)
The power amplifier is basically a two-
channel/one-channel bridgeable amplifier,
but three channels can be achieved by
combining the stereo and mono modes
using inductors and capacitors.

• Inductors (L1 and L2 in the diagrams)
act as low-pass filters. Capacitors (C1
and C2 in the diagrams) act as high-pass
filters. Inductors (L) are used for the
woofer/subwoofer, and capacitors (C)
are used for the high/mid-high.
• Remember when bridging an amplifier it
will see only half of the original speaker
impedance. Therefore, you must use
speakers that have ratings of 4 ohms or
higher. If you use speakers that have
lower impedance ratings it may cause
damage to the amplifier.
• When the inductors and capacitors are
connected to the speaker wires, secure or
solder them so they cannot be pulled
loose. Tape or use heat shrink on the
joints to prevent short circuits.
