This product cannot be used in cars fitted with a common negative speaker system.
To prevent external noise from entering the audio system:

If there is distortion or you hear a popping sound 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.

1.  Set the gain to MIN, Phase to NORM.LPF to CENTER before 

swithing on the system.

2.  Set the Bass/Treble adjustment to zero on the head unit. Set 

the volume to your average listening level. lt may help to use a 
music source that is familiar.

3.  Next, gradually increase the gain level and system volume to a 

point where system balance is achieved. 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 afrequency which compliments your speaker system.
(We recommend using CENTER 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.  The final adjustment is the PHASE of the subwoofer. While 

sitting in the driver's seat and with music playing, switch to a 
better setting between NORM and REV - The ideal PHASE 
setting varies from car to car, depending on the location of the 
subwoofer and the interior acoustic characteristics of the car.

Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10 cm away from the car harness.
Keep the power lines 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 can provide various noise suppressor solutions, contact them for further information.

Your Alpine Dealer knows best about noise prevention measures so consult your dealer 
for further information.
Ensure secure connections.
Any unused connections should be insulated with electrical insulation tape.
If the on-board computer or similar device, such as the ECU, contains security code, 
you may loose the memory when connecting the negative lead.

If your head unit does not have this lead, then please 
connect to the the ACC lead of the vehicle.
The lead that supplies power when the key is at the 
ACC position.

Please connect to either the rear or 
front speaker output leads.
- Caution
The output of the subwoofer will be 
affected by the head unit fader settings.

unit has no remote start lead.
