Make sure your source unit (Cassette, CD, DAT, DVD, etc)
is turned off while connecting the speaker 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 at least 18-gauge wire
with your new speaker system. 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 connecting your new Alphasonik speakers. Failure to do so
could result in damaging the speaker beyond repair.
3. Be sure to route the wires to the speakers with the
insulated terminals ending at the speakers. This will insure a
good contact with the speaker. If you need to shorten the
speaker lead, do so at the opposite end of the insulated
terminals or the bare end.
4. Be sure the polarity is correct at all times. The speaker
leads are color-coded for negative and positive. Be sure that the
leads are connected to the correct terminal of the speaker.
5. 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 damage of your speakers.
6. When mounting in a door, it is imperative to have the
right amount of slack in the connecting wire so it does not get
crimped or torn when the door is opened and closed. Avoid
areas of the door jam that pinch, this will cause damage to the
speaker over long-term use.
7. Once the speaker wiring is completed you can connect
the opposite end to the source unit or amplifier. Again, be sure
to observe the correct polarity. Solder and wrap all stripped
connections.
