When youconnect the speaker wire to the unit, you need to insert
the speaker wire into the speaker plug. Below explains how to
insert the speakerwire into the speaker plug.
1.
Check the wire gauge.
Notes:
The available speakerwire 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 ofthe exposedconductoris too short, apoor
connection mayoccurcausing operation failure orsound
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.

connections
Note:
Usethe supplied hexagonscrews forthis connection. It
is
highly
recommended that this be carried out by the dealer.
If you make this connection yourself, ensurethe 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 lengthof theexposed conductoris too short,a poor
connection mayoccurcausing operation failure orsound
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.

connections
Before making connections, be sure to turn the power off to all
audiocompenents. 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.

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 orto 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 pewerleads
as
far awayfrom 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.
Ifyou add an optional noisesuppressor, 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.

Be sure to add a fuse as close
as
possible to the batlery's posi-
tive (+) terminal.This fuse will protect yourvehicle'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.

Lead
(sold

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 pointto be a true groundby 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.

Connect these jacks to the line out leads on your head unit using
RCA extension cables (sold separately).

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
