The Pioneer GM-2000 is a two-channel amplifier that is designed to boost the sound output of your car's audio system. Here are the steps to wire up the Pioneer GM-2000:
Disconnect the negative terminal of your car battery to prevent any electrical short-circuit.
Locate a suitable location to mount the amplifier in your vehicle. Ensure that the amplifier is mounted securely and won't interfere with any moving parts in your car.
Run the power cable from the battery to the amplifier location. The power cable should be of sufficient gauge to handle the current draw of the amplifier. Consult the amplifier manual for the recommended gauge of wire.
Connect the power cable to the positive terminal of the amplifier and secure it in place.
Connect the ground wire to a metal surface near the amplifier location. Ensure that the surface is clean and free of rust or paint, and that the wire is securely attached.
Connect the remote wire to the amplifier's remote input. This wire provides a signal to turn the amplifier on and off when the head unit is turned on and off.
Connect the speaker wires to the amplifier's speaker output terminals. Ensure that the positive and negative wires are connected to the correct terminals.
Connect the RCA cables from the head unit to the amplifier's RCA input jacks. These cables transmit the audio signal from the head unit to the amplifier.
Turn the amplifier on and test the audio output from your speakers. Adjust the gain and other settings as necessary to achieve the desired sound quality.
Remember to consult the amplifier manual for the recommended wiring instructions and to ensure that you follow proper safety precautions when handling electrical components. If you are not confident in your abilities, it is recommended to seek professional installation.
The Push Power/Protect error either means the speaker wires are touching a point that they shouldn't or there is an internal short in the system. Turn off the stereo system. Check the placement of the speaker wires. Make sure that the wires aren't frayed or damaged. Make sure that no part of a bare wire is touching the back of the main unit or the speakers. Check that the bare wires aren't touching each other.
If the problem persists, then there is an internal short. There is a service manual at https://www.manualsLib.com , you can find it with a Google search. I do not know if it is worth fixing the system with an internal fault.
If the Power/Protect LED is red, usually the speaker wiring has a short-circuit or the speaker total impedance is wrong for the system. The most common issue is a bare spot on a speaker wire that is coming in contact with part of the car or another bare wire. Sometimes, it just means that the system got too hot.
Before you look for a problem with the KS-AX4302 board, look at your wiring and replace any damaged wires.
From what I can tell you cut the wires to your factory wiring harness and that is what you want to hook up to. My advice is to reconnect the factory harness and buy the adapter harness for your car and use that to hook up to the alpine it will save you hours and possibly your sanity. If you want to hook up directly to your car without the adapter you will need to figure out what wires are the power ignition and ground with a multimeter or power light. Easiest way to find ground is to just put in a ground wire with in a foot or so from the deck. Then it's just a guess and check for the correct placement of power. I suggest turning the power placement on the deck to what speaker you want and repeat for all speakers until your finished. Or you can buy a Chiltons or Haynes manual the should have a wiring diagram
YES! All you need is a 1/8 in adapter that has two RCA jacks on it (red/white) you can get this at any radio shack! then plug the jack into laptop audio output and plug the red/white wires into back of home theater system on back of amp Any input will do

Supplies needed: - 8 Gauge power wire (long enough to run from your battery to the amp placement) WITH an inline fuse!! - Depending on your stereo (if it has amp pre-outs or not) you will either need RCA cables (long enough to reach your amp from your stereo) OR a Line-Out converter AND RCA cables. - The power lead that connects to your "REMOTE" line on your stereo (long enough to reach from amp to stereo - usually blue) - A good ground wire ( long enough to reach a metal part of your car from the amp)
====================================================================== STEP 1: Find a spot to run the power wire from your battery - through your firewall and into your car - and then to your amp. (DO NOT CONNECT IT TO ANYTHING YET) STEP 2: Remove your car stereo and look to see if you have PRE-AMP outs (RCA connectors for an amp on the rear of the unit) A- if you do, GREAT.. proceed to step 3 B- if you don't.. you will need to get a LINE-OUT CONVERTER - what this does is converts the higher signals from your standard wires on your radio, to RCA style wires to connect to your amp. B2- you will also want to buy a wiring harness kit for your stereo, unless you want to hack away at your factory wires.. (not recommended) - connect the harness kit to your factory wire harness, wire in your leads for the output converter, and run the other end to your stereo.* *you will need to know which wires run to the speakers you plan to power with the amplifier B3 - once the converter is properly connected - proceed to step 3 STEP 3: Plug the RCA cables into the stereo or converter, and run them properly from behind your radio to the amp but DO NOT CONNECT THEM YET. STEP 4: Connect the REMOTE wire from your stereo to the same wire for your amp . (this enables the amp to turn on/off with your radio.. otherwise.. you will have alot of dead batteries) STEP 5: re-install your stereo into the car. STEP 6: Connect the RCA speakers into the INPUTS on your amp STEP 7: Connect the REMOTE wire to your amp. STEP 8: Connect the speaker wire from the OUTPUTS on your amp to the speakers you wish to power STEP 9: Connect the POWER CABLE to the amp PROPERLY STEP 10: Connect the GROUND CABLE to a metal part of your car (sheet metal, not just a bolt) STEP 11: Connect the POWER CABLE to the battery cable STEP 12: Re-connect your Battery STEP 13: Start your car, and test your radio.
If you have any issues from here.. you need to re-check all of your connections.
