Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Choose Mounting Location: Select a secure location on your ATV, UTV, Jeep, or boat that allows for optimal sound dispersion and does not interfere with vehicle operation. Ensure the surface is sturdy enough to support the speakers.
2. Mount Speakers: Use the universal mounting brackets to attach the speakers to roll-bars or cages. The brackets are designed for diameters between 1.25” and 2.0” inches. Securely tighten all fasteners.
3. Mount Amplifier: Find a dry, protected location for the compact amplifier. While the speakers are waterproof, the amplifier should be shielded from direct water exposure. Ensure adequate ventilation.
4. Wiring Connections:
   • Power: Connect the amplifier's power wiring harness to a DC 12V power source. Ensure proper polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). Install the included 15A fuse on the positive power line close to the battery.
   • Speakers: Connect the speaker wires from the amplifier to the quick-connect spring-loaded speaker terminals. Ensure correct positive and negative connections for each speaker.
   • Audio Input: Connect your audio source (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player) to the amplifier using the provided RCA/AUX audio input cables.
   • Pre-Amp RCA Out: If connecting to an additional amplifier, use the pre-amp RCA output.
5. Test System: Before finalizing the installation, turn on your audio source and the vehicle's power to test the system. Verify that sound is clear and balanced from both speakers.

Operating Instructions

Using your Pyle PLUTV42CH speaker system is straightforward:

1. Power On: Ensure your vehicle's ignition is on, providing power to the amplifier. The amplifier features an anti-thump turn-on circuit for smooth power activation.
2. Connect Audio Source: Plug your audio device (e.g., phone, tablet) into the amplifier's AUX input using the provided 3.5mm audio cable or RCA-to-AUX cable.
3. Play Audio: Start playing music or audio from your connected device.
4. Adjust Volume: Control the volume directly from your connected audio device. The amplifier will amplify the signal accordingly.
5. Power Off: Turn off your vehicle's ignition to power down the system. The amplifier has a soft turn-off feature to prevent abrupt shutdowns.
