When you connect the speaker wire to the unit, you need to insert
the speaker wire into the speaker plug. Below explains how to
insert the speaker wire into the speaker plug.
1.
Check the wire gauge.
Notes:
The available speaker wire gauge for this unit is AWG8-
AWG12.
If in doubt, consult your dealer regarding correct wire
gauge to use.
2.
Strip back between 7-10mm (9/32"-3/8") of the wire's
insulation to expose the conductor.
Notes:
If the length of the exposed conductor is too short, a poor
connection may occur causing operation failure or sound
interruption.
Conversely, if the exposed conductor is too long, an
electrical short-circuit may occur.
3.
Loosen fully the speaker plug's 2 hexagon screws using
the hexagon wrench (small, supplied).
4.
Insert fully the exposed conductor of the speaker wire into
the wire terminal hole. Refer to Fig.B.
Note:
Insert the speaker wire observing the
+/-
indications on
the speaker plug. Insert the positive speaker wire into
the positive speaker terminal, and the negative speaker
wire into the negative speaker terminal.
5.
Tighten the 2 hexagon screws using the hexagon wrench
(small, supplied).
The power wire cannot be connected until its end has been
stripped. Below explains how to connect the stripped end of the
power wire.
• Cautions on Power Wire connections
Note:
Use the supplied hexagon screws for this connection.
It
is highly
recommended that this be carried out by the dealer.
If you make this connection yourself, ensure the connection is
correct by following the instructions below carefully.
Be sure to use the supplied hexagon screws for this
connection.
For safety reasons, connect the batlery wire last.
To prevent disconnection of the leads or dropping of the unit,
do not carry the unit by the wire.
Be sure to add a fuse as close as possible to the batlery.
Make sure to use a fuse of the correct rating for the power
wire.
1.
Check the wire gauge.
Notes:
Only use AWG4 (the wire gauge) for this connection.
If in doubt, consult your dealer or Customer Support
regarding correct wire gauge to use.
2.
Strip back between 7-10mm (9/32"-3/8·) of the power
wire's insulation to expose the conductor.
Notes:
If the length of the exposed conductor is too short, a poor
connection may occur causing operation failure or sound
interruption.
Conversely, if the exposed conductor is too long, an
electrical short-circuit may occur.
3.
Loosen the unit's wire terminal hexagon screws, and
insert the exposed conductor into the terminal and finally
tighten to secure the connection.
4.
Verify that the power wire is connected securely.
• Cautions on speaker wire connections
Before making connections, be sure to turn the power off to all
audio compenents. Connect the yellow battery lead from the amp
directly to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery_ Do not
connect this lead to the fuse block.
~CAUTION
•
Caution on connection terminals/parts
Do not allow other objects (particularly electrically
conductive) to get too close or in contact with any of the
unit's terminals/parts (power supply, fuse, speaker output
terminal, RCA connector, etc.). Doing so may result in
short circuit or accident.
CONNECTIONS (Fig. 5 - Fig. 8)
Note:
Fully insert the speaker plug to avoid poor connection, or the
wire coming loose due to vehicle vibration, etc.
The speaker plug can be connected either way, regardless of
polarity indication.
Do not connect speaker leads together or to chassis ground.
To
prevent external noise from entering the audio system.
Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10 em (3-15/16·)
away from the car harness.
Keep the battery pewer leads as far away from other leads as
possible.
Connect the ground lead securely to a bare metal spot
(remove any paint or grease if necessary) of the car chassis.
If you add an optional noise suppressor, connect it as far away
from the unit as possible. Your Alpine dealer carries various
noise suppressors, contact them for further information.
Your Alpine dealer knows best about noise prevention
measures so consult your dealer for further information.

Power Supply Terminal
e
Speaker Output Terminals
Referring to "Cautions on speaker wire connections", insert the
speaker wire into the speaker plug, which is then inserted in the
speaker output terminal.
o
Battery Lead (sold separately)
Be sure to add a fuse as close as possible to the batlery's posi-
tive (+) terminal. This fuse will protect your vehicle's electrical
sys~
tern in case of a short circuit. If you need to extend this lead, only
use AWG4 - AWG6 (the wire gauge) for this connection.
o
Remote Turn-On Lead (sold separately)
Connect this lead to the remote turn-on or power antenna
(positive trigger, (+) 12V only) lead of your head unit.
e
Ground Lead (sold separately)
Connect this lead securely to a clean, bare metal spot on the
vehicle's chassis. Verify this point to be a true ground by checking
for continuity between that point and the negative (-) terminal of
the vehicle's battery. Ground all your audio components to the
same point on the chassis to prevent ground loops.
E)
RCA Input Jacks
Connect these jacks to the line out leads on your head unit using
RCA extension cables (sold separately).
o
Pre-Out Jacks
These jacks provide a line level output. This is an ideal output
for driving a second subwoofer amp. This output is fUll-range,
and is not affected by the crossover.
