Always
disconnect
the
negative

terminal
of
the
vehicle’s
battery
before
beginning
installation
of
electronic
components.
Insulation
tubes
for
the
speaker
leads
and
the
power
supply
leads
are
supplied
with
the
3541.
Route
the
speaker

and
the
power

separately
through
these
tubes.

Be
sure
to
observe
correct
speaker
connections
and
phasing.
This
includes
maintaining
the
correct
polarity;
positive

Caution:
Do
not
allow
any
non-insulated

INTERFACING
A
HEAD
UNIT
WITH
NO
PRE-AMP
OUTPUTS:
The
3541
can
be
used
with
any
high
power
or
standard
power
head
unitby
using
the
speaker
outputs
of
these
head
units.
This
includes
Alpine,
other
aftermarket,
and
OEM
factory-installed
source
units.
An
Alpine
4311
speaker
to
pre-amp
interface
is
needed
to
accomplish
this.
The
4311
features
low
impedance,
balanced
inputs
for
better
isolation,
better
system
noise
immunity,
and
proper
operation
of
the
head
unit
controls
such
as
balance
and
fader.
Connect
the
4311
as
shown
below
between
the
head
unit
and
the
3541.

Battery
Lead
(Yellow)
Connect
this
lead
to
the
positive
terminal
of
the
vehicle’s
battery.
Do
not
connect
this
lead
to
existing
circuits
in
the
vehicle’s
electrical
system.
If
you
need
to
extend
this
lead,
use
an
Alpine
4331
extension
cable.
(6
AWG
cable
can
also
be
used
to
extend
this
lead.)
To
protect
your
vehicle
and
amplifier,
it
is
very
important
that
this
lead
is
fused
with
a
60
A
fuse,
as
close
to
the
battery
as
possible.
This
should
be
your
last
connection
after
all
other
connections
have
been
made.

Remote
Turn-On
Lead
(Blue/White)
Connect
this
lead
to
the
remote
turn-on
lead
of
your
head
unit.
5.
RCA
Input
Connectors
The
line-out
leads
of
your
head
unit
are
connected
here
using
RCA
extension
patch
cords
(Alpine
4410,
4422,
or
4452).
Be
sure
to
observe
proper
channel
designation:
Left
to

to
Right.
Note
1:
Some
head
unit's
speaker
outputs
may
have
an
inherent
turn
on
or
turn
off
pop
noise.
Although
the
4311
will
prevent
additional
system
noise
usually
associated
with
large
system
upgrades
of
this
type,
it
cannot
improve
upon
the
design
of
the
signal
source.
If
there
is
a
pop
noise
present
in
the
head
unit,
it
will
be
amplified
through
the
system
and
may
be
objectionable.
In
such
a
case,
the
solution
is
to
upgrade
to
an
Alpine
head
unit.
Note
2:
The
4311
can
be
mounted
near
the
amplifier
or
near
the
head
unit.
However,
running
long
RCA
cables
may
increase
chances
of
encountering
a
system
noise
problem.
Therefore,
mounting
the
4311
close
to
the
amplifier
is
preferable.
Note
3:
To
avoid
introducing
system
noises
such
as
alternator
whine,
ground
all
amplifiers,
signal
processors,
4311's
and
the
head
unit
to
the
same
point
on
the
chassis.
