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. 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. 1 RCA Input Jacks Connect these jacks to the line out leads on your head unit using RCA extension cables (sold separately). Be sure to observe correct channel connections; Left to Left and Right to Right. Be sure to observe correct speaker output connections and phasing in relation to the other speakers in the system. Do not connect speaker leads together or to chassis ground. 3 Battery Lead (Yellow) (Sold Separately) Be sure to add a 80 amp 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. If you need to extend this lead, only use 21mm2 - 13mm2 (the wire gauge) for this connection. 4 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. 5 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. 6 Power Supply Terminal 7 Speaker Input Leads These leads are input leads for use with head units not equipped with preamp outputs. When not using the RCA Line Input connectors, you should connect these wires to the speaker output leads of your head unit. [. . . ] Make sure the switch is turned off when the vehicle is not running. Otherwise, the amplifier will remain on and drain the battery. Blue/White Power Antenna Remote Turn-On Lead To other Alpine components' Remote Turn-On Leads SPST Switch (optional) Fuse (3A) As close as possible to the vehicle's ignition tap Ignition Source Using a dynamic CD as a source, increase the head unit volume until the output distorts. Then, reduce the volume 1 step (or until the output is no longer distorted). [. . . ]
