Alpine PLV-7 Speaker User Manual


 
INTRODUCTION: Please read this OWNER’S MANUAL thor-
oughly to familiarize yourself with each control and function. We
at ALPINE hope that your new PLV-7 will give you many years
of listening enjoyment. In case of problems when installing your
PLV-7, please contact your authorized ALPINE dealer.
CAUTION: These controls are for tuning your system.
Please consult your authorized Dealer for adjustment.
DESIGN NOTES: Thanks to the exclusive compact design of the
PLV-7 Powered LAT Subwoofer System, it is no longer necessary
to sacrifi ce space for outstanding bass performance. This is
accomplished through the development and integration of several
core technologies; a 500W RMS digital switch-mode PDX amplifi er,
a revolutionary linear array subwoofer, and a cutting edge Ultra
Refl ex enclosure. With equivalent cone area of approximately two
12” subwoofers enclosed in less than half the expected airspace,
careful attention to every detail was required to achieve the design
goals. Through the use of advanced acoustic design and propri-
etary structures, exceptional air volume displacement is managed
while achieving unparalleled transient response, low frequency
extension and ultra-low distortion. Although some air rush noise
is present at extreme drive levels, it is effectively inaudible in any
practical application within a complete system. The result is better
system integration with an obviously tighter, faster and deeper bass
response than previously possible with any other design.
WARNING
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY
FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.
Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be
performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle in a
safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do so may result
in an accident.
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE
NOISE WHILE DRIVING.
Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency vehicle
sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be dangerous
and may result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD VOLUME LEVELS IN A
CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
Doing so may result in an accident, fi re or electric shock.
USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.
Use for other than its designed application may result in
fi re, electric shock or other injury.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in fi re or electric shock.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fi re.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fi re or product damage.
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.
(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may result in fi re, etc.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE POSITIVE
BATTERY TERMINAL.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical shorts.
DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN SURROUNDING
OBJECTS.
Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to prevent
obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct or hang up on
places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can be
extremely hazardous.
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other equipment. Doing
so will exceed the current carrying capacity of the wire and result in fi re or
electric shock.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES.
When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take precautions so as not
to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or electrical wiring.
Failure to take such precautions may result in fi re.
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEMS TO
MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS.
Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any other safety-related
system), or tanks should NEVER be used for installations or ground connections.
Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle and cause fi re etc.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR SCREWS OUT OF THE REACH
OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a
physician immediately.
CAUTION
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the product.
Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service
Center for repairing.
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS.
The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical skill
and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you
purchased this product to have the work done.
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY.
Be sure to use only the specifi ed accessory parts. Use of other than
designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not securely install
the unit in place. This may cause parts to become loose resulting in hazards
or product failure.
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A SHARP
METAL EDGE.
Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat rails)
or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the
wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to
prevent the wire’s insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST.
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of moisture or dust.
Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may result in product failure.
