INTRODUCTION...
Thank you for purchasing the Pyle MARINE Class-D amplifier.
Rest assured you have purchased a quality product designed
and engineered to give you many years of uncompromised
musical service.The Pyle MARINE Class-D amplifier has been
designed using the latest in electronic technology available
today.
This mono subwoofer amplifier is the result of advanced high
speed switching technology that overcomes the less-efficient
Class-D design. the Pyle MARINE Class-D amplifier reflects
your true appreciation for powerful bass reproduction in the
mobile environment.
This amplifier is designed for low-frequency information only and
it is not capable of reproducing any mid/high-frequency information.
This is due to the noise introduced into the signal by the switching
speed of the power supply, which must be filtered out of the audio
signal.
The power supply incorporated into Pyle MARINE amplifier is a
DC to DC switching power supply designed to have adequate
headroom for even the most demanding peak and dynamic
range found on today's CDs and recording.

Class-D MONO BLOCK AMPLIFIER PLMRA1000D
Low-frequency information for subwoofer only.High efficient power
Stiffly regulated PWM power supplies. MOSFET switches maintain
rated power over a wide range of battery voltages.
Adjustable from 20Hz to 250Hz with a slope of 24dB per octave.This
allows for the adjustment of the upper point of the frequency bandwidth
and the respective subwoofer.
Adjustable from 15Hz to 40Hz with a slope of 24dB per octave.This allows
for the attenuation of frequencies that are mostly inaudible and cause
unnecessary strain on the amplifier.
Protection against thermal, overload and short circuit conditions.
This amplifier come complete with a compact remote GAIN CONTROLLER
which can be conveniently mounted on or under the dashboard of your
car.

amplifier and installation
mounting
Find a suitable location in the vehicle to mount the amplifier
Make sure there is sufficient air flow around the intended mounting location
Bolt the amplifier to the mounting surface.
wiring tips
Connect the power ground terminal to the nearest point on the chassis of the car. Keep this ground wire less than one meter (39") in length. Use 4 gauge wire.
Connect the remote terminal to the remote output of the head unit using 14 gauge.
Connect an empty fuse holder within 300mm (12") of the battery and 4 gauge or larger high quality cable from this fuse to the amplifier location.
Make sure there is no fuse in this fuse holder. Then make the connection to the "BATT" connection on the amplifier.
If multiple amplifiers are being used, use cables (each with its own fuse at the battery) or a *0 or a *2 cable from the fuse holder at the battery to a distribution block at or near
the amplifier's location.
Connect all line inputs and outputs using high-quality RCA-RCA cables.
Insert fuse(s) at the battery fuse holder(s)
fuses
Recheck all connections before powering up.
Set all level controls to their least sensitive positions and set all crossover controls, switches, etc., To the desired frequency or position.
Once the system is powered up, set the volume control on the head unit to about the 2 o'clock position, and then set all the amplifiers' level controls for maximum output level.
Further fine tuning of the various controls may be necessary to obtain the desired results.

troubleshooting
Before removing your amplifier, refer to the list below and
follow the suggested procedures.
Always test the speaker and their wires first.
Amplifier will not power up
Check for good ground connection.
Check that remote DC terminal has at least 13.8V DC.
Check that there is battery power on the terminal.
Check all fuses.
Check that Protection LED is not lit. If it is lit, shut off
amplifier briefly and then repower it.
Protection LED comes on when the amplifier is powered up.
Check for shorts on speaker leads.
Check that the volume control on the head units is turned down low.
Remove speaker leads, and reset the amplifier. if the protection LED still comes on,
then the amplifier is faulty.
Amplifier(s) gets very hot.
Check that the minimum speaker impedance for that model is correct.
Check for speaker shorts.
Check that there is good airflow around the amplifier. in some applications, an external
cooling fan may be required.

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. If hiss / noise disappears, go on until the faulty /
noisy component is found.
It is best to set the amplifier's input level as insensitive as possible.
The best subjective S/N ratio is obtainable this way. Try to drive as
high a signal level from the head unit as possible.
Distorted sound
Check that the level control(s) is set to match the signal level of the head unit.
Check that all crossover frequencies have been properly set.
Check for shorts on the speaker leads.
High squeal noise from speakers.
This is always caused by a poorly-grounded RCA patch cord.
