- Fuse Replacement: If the power fuse needs replacement, it must be replaced only with an identical fuse type and rating to avoid damage to the audio system or amplifier, as using a different fuse type or rating is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
- Installation Precautions: Emphasizes careful investigation of the vessel's layout before drilling or cutting, especially near gas tanks, fuel lines, hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring. It also advises against operating the amplifier when unmounted and ensuring secure attachment of all components. Users are warned not to mount the amplifier where wire connections are unprotected, pinched, or in contact with metal surfaces, or likely to be damaged. Disconnecting the marine vessel battery before making or breaking power connections is crucial.
Pyle PLMRMP4A Marine Amplifier
The PLMRMP4A is a 4-channel waterproof marine power amplifier. Similar to its 2-channel counterpart, it is designed for marine audio amplification, but with increased power and channel capacity, pushing up to 1200 watts. It also includes a waterproof stereo 3.5mm-to-RCA adapter for connecting various audio sources.
Function Description:
The PLMRMP4A serves to amplify audio signals across four channels in marine environments. It incorporates an electronic crossover network, power protection circuitry, and an anti-thump turn-on feature to ensure the safety and optimal performance of the audio system. Its higher channel count allows for more complex audio setups.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Power Output: 1200 Watt MAX
- RMS Power (4 Ohm): 4 x 150 Watts RMS
- MAX Power (4 Ohm): 4 x 300 Watts MAX
- RMS Power (2 Ohm): 4 x 300 Watts RMS
