Make sure your source unit (CD, DVD, etc) is turned off while
connecting the speaker terminals. Turn on the various components and
slowly advance the volume. Remember to check and recheck all connections
to insure proper use.
1. Alphasonik recommends using at least 18-gauge wire with your new
speaker system. Thinner gauge wire may easily be severed and can
cause damage to your system should any bare wire come in contact with
the vehicle's chassis.
2. Make sure that your audio system is off while installing and connecting
your new Alphasonik speakers. Failure to do so could result in damaging
the speaker beyond repair.
3.
Be sure to route the wires to the speakers with the insulated terminals
ending at the speakers. This will insure a good contact with the speaker.
If you need to shorten the speaker lead, do so at the opposite end of the
insulated terminals or the bare end.
4. Be sure the polarity is correct at all times. The speaker leads are
color-coded for negative and positive. Be sure that the leads are
connected to the correct terminal of the speaker.
5. To insure long-term reliability, all bare wires and wire-to-wire connections
should be soldered and insulated with heat shrink or electrician's tape.
Under no circumstances should you leave any bare wires uncovered, as
this can and will lead to the damage of your speakers.
6. When mounting in a door, it is imperative to have the right amount of
slack in the connecting wire so it does not get crimped or torn when the
door is opened and closed. Avoid areas of the door jam that pinch, this
will cause damage to the speaker over long-term use.
7. Once the speaker wiring is completed you can connect the opposite end
to the source unit or amplifier. Again, be sure to observe the correct
polarity. Solder and wrap all stripped connections.
