CONNECTIONS (Fig. 1)
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
r 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.
r Use appropriate electrical source. The person installing this will choose the appropriate
electrical source.
To prevent external noise from entering the audio system.
r Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10 cm (3-15/16") away from the car harness.
r Keep the battery power leads as far away from other leads as possible.
r Connect the ground lead securely to a bare metal spot
(remove any paint or grease if necessary) of the car chassis.
r Your Alpine dealer knows best about noise prevention
measures so consult your dealer for further information.
