• The inductor (LI or L2 in the diagram) acts as a low-pass
filter. The capacitor (Cl or C2 in the diagram) acts as a
high-pass filter.
• In the three-channel mode Pioneer recommends that an
inductor (U be used on the woofer/subwoofer, and that a
capacitor (C) be used on the midrange/tweeter. Remem¬
ber 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 leads, secure or solder them so they cannot be
pulled loose. Tape or use heat shrink on the joints to
prevent short circuits.

• A multi-channel system can be set up using a combination of
filters
1
,
2
, and 3 . The inductance (L) and capacitance (C)
will determine the frequency (Hz) that the speaker will
reproduce. Refer to the chart on the above to determine the
components required.
r- WARNING -
• Use the capacitors specified. Non-polarized capacitors rated
at over ±40 V should be used for Cl and C2 in the diagram.
Because of the voltage output of the amplifier it is very
important to use non-polarized capacitors rated at or over
40 V. This will prevent a safety hazard.
