It is always best to plan the complete installation prior to attempt-
ing to install any product. The routing of wires, power connections and
mounting locations should be planned rst. As with any car stereo instal-
lation, all work performed should be checked thoroughly and carefully
prior to the operation of the system.
The placement of your Alphasonik enclosure within your vehicle
will greatly affect the overall performance of your audio system. Avoid
areas that do not provide a at, sturdy mounting surface.
NOTE: Alphasonik strongly recommends that you operate your system at
low volumes prior to the completed installation of your Alphasonik enclo-
sure. This will allow a test of the speaker before securing it to its perma-
nent 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 amplier. Make sure all wires eas-
ily reach the ampliers terminal with no stress on the wires or connectors.
MOUNTING:
1. Conrm 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 nd 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 con-
nections 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 amplier 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 conrmed that it is
operating properly, turn off your system and prepare for the nal
mounting.

In the event that your Alphasonik speakers appear to require ser-
vice, we ask that you rst do a little troubleshooting
to determine if the problem is actually the speaker or a problem locat-
ed in a different part of the vehicle such as the amplier, wiring, fusing
or possibly the source unit.
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 qualied installer or repair
technician. If you installed the speakers yourself, use the following
guidelines to help nd the problem:
1. No Sound
*Check the source unit or amplier 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
ampliers.
5. Poor High Frequency Response
*Check wiring for correct polarity.
*Check Treble controls or EQ settings.
*Check the Tweeter for possible damage.

Investigate the layout of your vehicle thoroughly before drilling or
cutting. Take care when you work near the gas tank, gas lines, hydraulic
lines, electrical components and electrical wiring. Do not use the equipment
unmounted. Attach this system securely to prevent damage, particularly in
the event of an accident or aggressive driving. Do not mount the system so
that wire connections are unprotected or are subjected to pinching or damage
from nearby objects. Before connecting or disconnecting power connections
at the system power terminals, disconnect the +12V DC wire at the battery
end. Conrm that your source unit and other equipment are turned off while
connecting the input terminals. If you need to replace the power fuse, replace
it only with a fuse identical to the provided fuse. Using a fuse of different type
or rating may result in damage to the system, which is not covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty. Do not install any product where it may be subject-
ed to excessive heat, moisture and dust or where it may be repeatedly kicked,
brushed or bumped. Make absolutely sure that the terminals for the products
are connected to the proper inputs and outputs from the music source. Never
run the wiring on the outside of the vehicle or under it where it can be dam-
aged by road hazards or any moving parts of the vehicle. Use existing wire
channels, sills, panels and molding strips inside the vehicle to hide the wiring
for safety and a neat appearance.
DISCLAIMER
IMPORTANT: Never cut any metal that is an integral part of the
vehicle’s safety or structural support system. If you are unsure, it is best to
have the product professionally installed by an Authorized Alphasonik Dealer.
Never sacrice your safety for sound.
