Getting Started - Dual ALB12 Owner's Manual

Thank you for purchasing the Dual ALB12 12" ported enclosure with built-in
amplifier. Although Dual has attempted to ensure the information in this manual
is accurate, please be aware that any part of it is subject to change without notice.
Please read entire manual before installation. Due to the technical nature of
amplifiers, it is highly recommended that your Dual ALB12 is installed by a
professional installer or an authorized dealer.
Before You Start
• Always disconnect the negative battery terminal. Consult a qualified technician
for instructions if you are unsure.
• Avoid installing the amplifier where it would be subject to high temperatures,
such as from direct sunlight, or where it would be subject to dust, dirt or
excessive vibration.
• Use extreme caution when drilling holes to avoid damaging fuel lines or
existing vehicle wiring.
• All amplifier installations require power, signal and speaker wires (not
included).
• An amplifier installation kit (sold separately) is highly recommended to
facilitate the installation. Consult your dealer for recommendations.
Mounting Location
• Choose a mounting location for the ALB12. Suggested locations include behind
a seat or in the trunk.
• For optimum performance, make sure to provide at least 1" of space around all
sides of the amplifier.
• Do not mount the ALB12 under carpets or where airflow is restricted.
• Do not install the ALB12 where it may be exposed to moisture.
• The optimum mounting location varies between vehicles. Remember to test all
amplifier functions before completing the final mounting procedure.
