This will allow a test of the speaker before securing it to its permanent location. CAUTION: Make sure that all wiring is fully protected from cuts, tears and possible wear. Any short circuit developing as a result could severely damage the source unit or possibly the amplifier. Make sure all wires easily reach the amplifiers terminal with no stress on the wires or connectors. MOUNTING: 1. Confirm the mounting location by inspecting the area where the enclosure will be mounted. 2. Before screwing anything double check where all wires are located and ran. Check underneith the vehicle for gas lines, brake lines, and gas tank. If there is anything like that we suggest to find an other location to mount the enclosure. Before starting your installation we recommend to disconnect the battery so there can be no damage done to the electrical system of the vehicle. Before disconnecting the battery make sure that the vehicles source unit does not have a password and if so you have the password in hand to disable the security feature of the source unit. Make sure your source unit (Cassette, CD, DAT, DVD, etc) is turned off while connecting the terminals. Turn on the various components and slowly advance the volume. Remember to check and recheck all connections to insure proper use. 1. Alphasonik recommends using the wires that were supplied with the the kit. Thinner gauge wire may easily be severed and can cause damage to your system should any bare wire come in contact with the vehicle’s chassis. 2. Make sure that your audio system is off while installing and con necting your new Alphasonik enclosure. Failure to do so could result in damaging the speaker beyond repair. 3. Be sure to route the wires to the amplifier where it will be free from sharp objects. 4. To insure long-term reliability, all bare wires and wire-to-wire connections should be soldered and insulated with heat shrink or electrician’s tape. Under no circumstances should you leave any bare wires uncovered, as this can and will lead to the dam age of your speakers. 5. Once you have tested your system and have confirmed that it is operating properly, turn off your system and prepare for the final mounting.

If your Alphasonik speakers have been installed professionally by an Authorized Alphasonik Dealer, we recommend that you return to the Dealer and demonstrate the problem to a qualified installer or repair technician. If you installed the speakers yourself, use the following guidelines to help find the problem: 1. No Sound *Check the source unit or amplifier for power and be sure they are operating properly. *Check all signal connections. *Check for any wiring that may be shorting together or touching the metal chassis. *Check all ground connections. 2. Distorted Sound At All Volumes *Check for bad speaker connections. *Check wiring for correct polarity. 3. Distorted Sound At High Volumes Only *Check for loose mounting of the speaker. *Inspect the speaker for debris in the cone or other obstructions. 4. Poor Bass Response *Check wiring for correct polarity. *Check for unstable or loose mounting surface. *Check Bass and Treble controls at the source unit or amplifiers. 5. Poor High Frequency Response *Check wiring for correct polarity. *Check Treble controls or EQ settings. *Check the Tweeter for possible damage. T R O U B L ...
