C H O O S I N G A L O C A T I O N It is always best to plan the complete installation prior to attempting to install any product. The routing of wires, power connections and mounting locations should be planned first. As with any car stereo installation, all work performed should be checked thoroughly and carefully prior to the operation of the system. The placement of your Alphasonik speakers within your vehicle will greatly affect the overall performance of your audio system.
NOTE: Alphasonik strongly recommends that you operate your system at low volumes prior to the completed installation of your Alphasonik speakers. This will allow a test of the speaker before securing it to its permanent location. CAUTION: Make sure that all speaker 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.
I N S T A L L A T I O N C O N T I N U E D 7 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.
Once you have tested your system and have confirmed that it is operating properly, turn off your system and prepare for the final mounting of the speakers. 1. Position the speaker into the mounting hole and reconfirm the correct mounting location and hole placement. Screw clips are provided to insure a snug fit. Place screw clips over the metal surface and line up the hole with the hole you have previously drilled. Place the speaker into the hole, align the mounting holes and proceed to insert the screws.

In the event that your Alphasonik speakers appear to require service, we ask that you first do a little troubleshooting to determine if the problem is actually the speaker or a problem located in a different part of the vehicle such as the amplifier, 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 qualified installer or repair technician.
W A R N I N G & D I S C L A I M E R 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.
