To get the most from the DEX-P9R, Pioneer strongly recommends using it in combination with the DEQ-P9 and the PRS amps
and speakers, to create a variety of system set-ups that suit your sound preference and in-car audio characteristics. In both the
configurations shown below, the external amplifiers are driven by the DEQ-P9’s Hi-Volt outputs. These very high-quality outputs
use their own balanced plus/minus PWM power supply to minimise noise and distortion. Create the ultimate system by using
the DEQ-P9 in its 4-way (low, mid, high, subwoofer) configuration for optimum performance. Each band has its dedicated
speaker, while the Crossover Network and Time Alignment feature allow for each band to be precisely tuned. Result: perfectly
balanced acoustics. If you prefer to work with a 2-way plus subwoofer system, the resulting extra channel won't go to waste. It
can be used to drive a full-range rear fill speaker and will enhance the rear seat acoustics.
❚ Front 3-way Plus 2 Subwoofers System —
Complete L/R Mirror Layout ❚ Front 3-way/Rear 2-way/2 Subwoofers System
Warning: Pioneer Power Series amplifiers are designed to supply higher output power than conventional amplifiers. Therefore, please use a subwoofer whose nominal input power is about twice the connected Power Series
amplifier’s continuous output power.
* Not available in the UK.
The front 3-way configuration in this system consists of a low and midrange
speaker and a tweeter, driven by the DEQ-P9's active network. The rear 2-way
configuration is driven through the mid-output channel of the DEQ-P9. This
mid-output can be used as a full-range output, which can then be combined with
the UD-N2PRS crossover network to drive a 2-way system. The rear speaker's
sound output will improve the ambience, while also giving rear seat passengers
a better listening experience.

To bring out the full potential of the DEQ-P9, set up a front 3-way system plus
subwoofer, as shown here. This system configuration guarantees the utmost in
accurate sound staging.
* For specific needs — even in this system configuration — rear speakers can be added via the
DEX-P9R’s rear RCA output.
