QuestionI already have a pioneer receiver which i have my dvd, cd,cable connected too, how much of a difference will this make adding it to my system ?
Asked 8 years ago by TJ.
- Answer It depends on your setup and configuration. If your current receiver doesn’t have enough power for your speakers, or in theater setup no power at all for of the channels (eg., using pre out for surround back), then adding this unit could make a big difference. Alternatively, this unit could be added to power a second pair of speakers in addition to your main speakers connected to your receiver. No matter what configuration you use, this unit has solid and clean sound, but it doesn’t add power to your receiver, it replaces it for one set of speakers.

Questioncan i use a subwoofer with this amp and how can I hook it up?
Asked 8 years ago by jackp.
- Answer There are no sub outputs on this amplifier. Thus, there is no easy way to connect a powered sub. You could try the Record outputs, but these outputs are pre volume control, so there would be no volume control of the sound/output to the sub. If you sub had its own volume control, you could manually adjust, but it would not be connected to the volume of the amp. This would be a possible workaround to not having a sub output.

QuestionCan you use this with the pioneer sc-95 9.2 system to make it 11.2? I know the sc-95 is capable of 11.2 with an amp. This would give 100 watts to my front left and 100 watts to my front right channels?
Asked 9 years ago by gregboy.
- Answer You could absolutely use this to drive one of the sets of speakers on the SC-95. There are numerous sets of inputs. While the power rating on this unit is lower than that of the 95, it would still produce great power for any of the speaker pairs available with a pre-amp output.

QuestionDo I need a seperate pre amp for a turntable to conmnect to this amplifier? The turntable is a Technics 1200=MK2
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The amplifier has provisions for several inputs. One of them is PHONO. That input should do it for you, and no preamp is required. Pay attention to the grounding instructions that come with the amp.

QuestionI've been looking for a 4 channel amp. As this is a 2 channel amp, would it be stable to power 6 pair of 8" in ceiling speakers by doubling 2 speakers for A or B with this amp? To note, the speakers will all be wired in pairs w/separate volume controls.

QuestionWhat is the impedance at the headphone output jack on the pioneer A20 integrated amp?
Asked 10 years ago by garlooch.
- Answer Headphone jack is load/impedance rated @ 250mV/32ohms, making the headphone impedance 32ohms. This seems strange because output ratings to the speakers are at 4ohms, but this is not unusual in an integrated amplifier.
