Battery power lead	Connect directly to the positive terminal of the car's battery.

• This product cannot be used with cars fitted with a common negative speaker system.

• Speaker impedance must be 3.2 \~ 8 ohms.
  • To prevent external noise from entering the audio system:

• Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10 cm away from the car harness.

• Keep the battery power leads as far away from other leads as possible.
• Connect the ground lead securely and safely to a bare metal spot (remove the coating 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 Alpine noise suppressors, contact them for further information.
• Your Alpine Dealer knows best about noise prevention measures so consult your dealer for further information.

3. CHECK

1

Secure all loose cables.

CAUTION - ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE. Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent the wires insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.

2

Reconnect the negative lead to the battery terminal

3

By switching on the head unit, verify that the subwoofer is working.

4

Check that all electrical functions of the car are operational. (lights, indicators, horn etc.)

4. ADJUSTMENT

① GAIN ADJUSTMENT
② BASS EQ ADJUSTMENT
③ LOW PASS FILTER ADJUSTMENT

①②③

CAUTION

DO NOT EXCEED THE INPUT LEVEL SPECIFIED FOR THIS PRODUCT.

If there is distortion or a popping noise from the subwoofer the input level is too high. If the subwoofer has prolonged use in this condition, this may result in deterioration of performance or may cause damage to the subwoofer.

4. ADJUSTMENT

1. Set the gain to MIN, Bass EQ to 0dB, LPF to 75Hz before switching on the system.
2. Set the Bass/Treble adjustment to zero on the head unit. Set the volume to your average listening level. It may help to use a music source that is familiar.
3. Next, gradually increase the gain level. Increase the level to the point where the sound of your system, as a whole, is balanced. If the gain level is set too high, the subwoofer may begin to distort. Distortion may also occur if the volume is set too high on the head unit. Check that the other speakers have not begun to distort, before proceeding with the adjustment. If the entire speaker system in the car is distorting, reduce the volume of the head unit.
4. Once the gain has been set, adjust the L.P.F (Low Pass Filter) at a frequency which compliments your speaker system. (We recommend using 75Hz as a starting point.)
5. Adjusting the L.P.F will change the output volume of the subwoofer. Repeat procedures 3 and 4 until the ideal setting is found.
6. Adjust the Bass EQ. It is possible to boost the low frequency output of the amplifier from 0dB (flat) to +12dB. Adjust the Bass EQ (centred at 50 Hz) to suit your personal taste.
