Pioneer GM-D8704 High Power Class D 4-Channel Bridgeable Car Amplifier (4 * 100W RMS @ 4 ohms, 4 * 150W RMS @ 2ohms)

Product Overview

The Pioneer GM-D8704 is a high-output 4-channel Class-FD digital car amplifier designed to deliver serious power and acoustic clarity while taking up minimal space inside your vehicle. Capable of outputting 100 Watts RMS x 4 at 4 Ohms ($150ext{W RMS x 4 at } 2\Omega$ or $300ext{W RMS x 2}$ bridged), the GM-D8704 gives you the flexibility to drive a complete 4-speaker system, a 2-speaker plus subwoofer setup, or high-power component stages.

Refined Class-FD Topology & Intelligent Protection

Utilizing Pioneer’s Class-FD switching technology, this amplifier achieves high power efficiency with minimal heat buildup, allowing for a chassis footprint up to 50% smaller than conventional Class-AB amplifiers. The integrated Protection Control System monitors internal thermal conditions in real time, automatically adjusting input levels when needed to prevent thermal shutdowns and ensure uninterrupted playback.

Seamless Integration & Onboard Bass Tuning

Engineered for both aftermarket and factory OEM systems, the GM-D8704 features Automatic Signal Sensing and Turn-On, eliminating the need for a separate remote lead when tapping into factory speaker wires. Custom sound shaping is easy with variable High-Pass (HPF) and Low-Pass (LPF) crossovers ($40ext{–}500ext{ Hz}$), $1\Omega$ stable circuitry capability, and an included wired remote bass boost knob ($0ext{–}18ext{ dB at } 50ext{ Hz}$) for Channel B.

Features of GM-D8704

Variable HPF/LPF

For Extra flexibility, variable LPF & HPF make audio frequency more adjustable according to subwoofer characteristics and personal listening preferences

Bass Boost Remote

Every new class D Amplifier has a Bass Boost Remote Controller for optimal bass level adjustment according to listening preferences and music characteristics.

Highly Reliable Circuit Design

To prevent circuit shutdown, Pioneers new digital amplifier circuit Protection Control System senses its internal temperature and automatically moderates input level accordingly Stable Durable Circuitry lessens the risk of high input power for the unit to achieve 1-ohm connection. This design enhances the flexibility to connect multiple subwoofers to a system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I connect the Pioneer GM-D8704 to my factory stock head unit?

A: Yes! The GM-D8704 comes with a high-level speaker wire harness. When connected to factory speaker lines, its Automatic Signal Sensing feature detects the incoming audio and powers the amplifier on and off automatically without needing a separate $+12ext{V}$ remote turn-on wire.

Q: Can I run two speakers and one subwoofer off this single amplifier?

A: Absolutely. You can configure the amp in 3-channel mode: Channels A drive your left and right front door speakers ($100ext{W RMS x 2}$), while Channels B are bridged together to deliver $300ext{W RMS}$ to a single $4ext{-Ohm}$ subwoofer.

Q: What power wiring kit is recommended for this Pioneer amplifier?

A: We recommend using a high-quality 4 AWG or 8 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) wiring kit with an inline fuse holder (rated around 60A to 80A) installed near your car battery.
