4. Installazione e cablaggio

Before beginning installation, ensure the vehicle's battery is disconnected to prevent electrical shorts. This unit is designed for 12V DC negative ground systems.

4.1 Montaggio

The 903G features a Half-DIN design, allowing for flexible installation in various vehicle dashboards or consoles.
Choose a location that provides adequate ventilation to dissipate heat, as the unit can become warm during operation.

4.2 Collegamenti di cablaggio

Refer to the wiring diagram (if provided with your unit) for specific connections. The following describes general wiring principles:

Power (RED wire): Connect to a switched 12V DC power source (e.g., ignition wire) that turns on and off with the vehicle's ignition. Ensure this connection is fused.
Ground (BLACK wire): Connect securely to a clean, unpainted metal chassis point in the vehicle. A poor ground connection can lead to noise (ground loops).
Remote Turn-On (BLUE wire - if present): Connect to the remote output of your head unit. This will turn the equalizer on and off with your head unit.
Ingresso audio: Connect the speaker outputs from your head unit to the corresponding input terminals on the 903G. The unit supports 2 or 4 speaker hook-up.
Uscita altoparlante: Connect your vehicle's speakers to the output terminals of the 903G. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The unit supports 4-8 Ohm output impedance.

Note: The unit's wiring may be angled downwards, which can reduce effective wire length. Plan your wire routing accordingly.

5. Funzionamento

Once installed and wired correctly, follow these steps to operate your Pyramid 903G:

Accensione: Turn on your vehicle's ignition and your head unit. If wired correctly, the 903G should power on automatically or by using its Power ON/OFF switch. The multi-colored power level indicators will illuminate.
Controllo audio iniziale: Start with all equalizer bands set to the center (flat) position. Play a familiar audio track.
Adjust Fader Control: Use the Fader control to balance the sound between your front and rear speakers to your preference.
Equalizzazione: Adjust the 10 equalizer band sliders to fine-tune the audio frequencies. Each band allows for up to 12dB of boost or cut.
- Lower frequencies (leftmost sliders) control bass.
- Mid-range frequencies (middle sliders) control vocals and instruments.
- Higher frequencies (rightmost sliders) control treble and clarity.
Adjust gradually and listen for improvements in sound quality. Avoid extreme settings that can introduce distortion.
Monitor Power Level Indicators: The multi-colored LEDs provide a visual indication of the amplifier's output. Avoid consistently high levels that may indicate clipping or distortion.

6. Manutenzione

Pulizia: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the unit's exterior. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Ventilazione: Periodically check that the ventilation areas are not obstructed by dust or debris.
Connessioni: Ensure all wiring connections remain secure. Loose connections can lead to intermittent sound or noise.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

Problema	Possibile causa	Soluzione
Nessuna alimentazione / L'unità non si accende	Fusibile bruciato Incorrect power wiring Collegamento a terra allentato	Controllare e sostituire il fusibile se necessario. Verify 12V DC power and remote turn-on connections. Ensure ground wire is securely connected to a clean metal surface.
Nessuna uscita audio	Cablaggio di ingresso/uscita errato Fader control set incorrectly Volume dell'unità principale troppo basso	Check all audio input and speaker output connections. Adjust the Fader control. Increase volume on your head unit.
Engine noise (whine, hiss)	Poor ground connection (ground loop) Power wires too close to audio cables Alternator noise	Ensure a solid, clean ground connection. Try a different ground point. Route power and audio cables separately. Consider installing a noise filter on the power line (e.g., Metra 20amp noise filter).
L'unità diventa eccessivamente calda	Ventilazione inadeguata Condizione di sovraccarico	Ensure sufficient space around the unit for airflow. Check speaker impedance (must be 4-8 Ohm). Reduce volume if consistently overheating.
