Keep calm..no worries ..I’m suggesting that the head unit RF+ RF- goes to one channel and LF- LF+ to the other as per manual
Then you wire the AS3+ speakers to the bridged stereo outputs as per picture with switch in with 2 channel mode
The headunit rear outputs go direct to rear speakers
I think that works..

So this. Which is exactly what I have now, except I haven't flicked the switch yet.

That will work but will not take advantage of bridge option on the power output side....almost there..

Well I would just un-cock it at the moment..
Let me know how it goes..are you hand cutting the cables or do you have a harness that can work?

It comes with a complete harness, so I am hand cutting and soldering cables back together. It's only a few cables to undo and rejoin.

OK that works...maybe purely for test purposes use a temp connector on the speaker cables pending a sound check..but if all ok then definitely solder and insulate well then..these babies if instructions followed are quite good..

Yeah, I'm old school. I do the twisty connection and then solder it.

That’s how I did do it but started using these as you get a good clamp action on the insulation from the heat shrink plus they seem to solder well and seal the joint against water ingress plus a heat gun works well..I then bury it all in heat shrink..should be able to take 45+G no worries

Yeah, never used those before. Of course, BTW I heat shrink after.Pbondar wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 12:09 pm That’s how I did do it but started using these as you get a good clamp action on the insulation from the heat shrink plus they seem to solder well and seal the joint against water ingress plus a heat gun works well..I then bury it all in heat shrink..should be able to take 45+G no worries

Grasshopper..be aware that the line voltage from the headunit is around 2.5v not 600mv..so according to your amp manual you need to use speaker input not rca phono input..not clear to me how that works since it seems to go the same inputs..
Class D amp create massive harmonics if overdriven especially on the input side..destroys tweeted in seconds..

Yes, thanks, I'm using the speaker line inputs connected via the adapter loom. Yes, it's designed to take inputs from either RCA or line-in, so don't know how it regulates it. But it must I guess.Pbondar wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 8:02 am Grasshopper..be aware that the line voltage from the headunit is around 2.5v not 600mv..so according to your amp manual you need to use speaker input not rca phono input..not clear to me how that works since it seems to go the same inputs..

This is from Pioneer:
"The GM-D1004 automatically detects input signals, and selects an input signal mode between the RCA level and the speaker level."
I read last night that when someone bridged their amp, it changed the control from 'balance' to 'fade'. Will that happen to me?
