CONNECTIONS (Fig. 5 - Fig. 8)
Before making connections, be sure to turn the power off to all
audio components. 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
•
Keep electrically conductive objects away from the unit's
terminals/parts (power terminals, fuses, speaker output
terminals, RCA connectors, etc.). Doing so prevents a possible
short circuit and damage to the unit.
To prevent external noise from entering the audio system.
•
Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10 cm (3-15/16")
away from the car harness.
•
Keep the battery power 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.

•
USE ONLY THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN
REPLACING FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
c Speaker Output Terminals
Referring to "Cautions on speaker wire connections", insert the
speaker wire into the speaker connector, which is then inserted in
the speaker output terminal.
Notes:
•
Fully insert the speaker connector to avoid poor connection, or the
wire coming loose due to vehicle vibration, etc.
•
The speaker connector can be connected either way, regardless of
polarity indication.
•
Do not connect speaker leads together or to chassis ground.
d Remote Bass Control (Option)
Connect the Remote Bass Control Unit (sold separately) to adjust
the output level of the head unit and the input gain level of the unit.
For more details, refer to "m Input Gain Adjustment Control" of
"SWITCH SETTINGS" in the Owner's Manual.
e RCA Input Jacks
Connect these jacks to the line out leads on your head unit using
RCA extension cables (sold separately).
f 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.
g Battery Connector
Make the Battery, Remote Turn-on and Ground lead connections
(as shown) to the Battery Connector. Insert Plug to Terminal 1.
h Battery Lead (Yellow, sold separately)
Be sure to add a a fuse as close as possible to the battery's
positive (+) terminal. This fuse will protect your vehicle's electrical
system in case of a short circuit. Refer to "Cautions on Power Wire
connections."
i Remote Turn-On Lead (Blue/White, sold separately)
Connect this lead to the remote turn-on or power antenna
(positive trigger, (+) 12V only) lead of your head unit.
j Ground Lead (Black, 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. Refer to "Cautions on
Power Wire connections."
SWITCH SETTINGS (Fig. 9)
◆ Cautions on Power Wire connections
The power wire cannot be connected until its end has been
stripped. Below explains how to connect the stripped end of the
power wire.
Notes:
•
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 battery 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 battery. Make sure to
use a fuse of the correct rating for the power wire.
1. Check the wire gauge.
Notes:
•
4AWG/21 mm
2
is the minimum power and ground cable size
that should be used to connect this amplifier. The length of these
cables should not exceed 1 m to assure safe operation.
•
If the length of the power and ground cables exceed 1 m, or if
you connect more than one amplifier, a power distribution block
should be used with 2AWG or 1/0AWG/33 mm
and ground cables depending on the length necessary.
•
If in doubt, consult your dealer or Customer Support regarding
correct wire gauge to use.
2. Strip back between 7-10 mm (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
When you connect the speaker wire to the unit, you need to insert
the speaker wire into the speaker connector. Below explains how to
insert the speaker wire into the speaker connector.
1. Check the wire gauge.
Notes:
•
The available speaker wire gauge for this unit is 8AWG-16AWG/8
mm
2
- 13 mm
2
.
•
If in doubt, consult your dealer regarding correct wire gauge to
use.
2. Strip back between 7-10 mm (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. 8.
Note:
•
Insert the speaker wire observing the +/– indications on the
speaker connector. 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).
