INSTALLATION

Due

to

the

high power

output

of

the

S-A60M/S-A32F/S-A55V considerable heat

is

produced when

the

amplifier

is

in operation. For

this reason,

the

amplifiershould be

mounted

in a

location which will

allow

for

free circulation

of

air,

such

as

inside

the

trunk.

For

alternate installation

locations, please contact yourauthorized Alpine

dealer.

1.

Using the amplifier

as

atemplate, markthe

four

screw locations.

2.

Make sure there are

no

objects behind

the

surface

that

may becomedamaged during

drilling.

3.

Drill the screw holes.

4.

Position the S-A60M/S-A32F/S-A55V over the

sc

rew holes, and secure

with

ing

screws.

enter

i

at

least 10cm (4") away

from

the

if

necessary)

of

the

•

If

you add an optional noise suppressor, connect

it

as

far away

from

as

possible.Your Alpine dealer

carries various noise suppressors, contact

them

for

further

information.

to

simplify

the

connection.

Refer

to

the

description

below

for

the

proper procedure.

If

you are in

doubt

about

how

to

make this connection, consult

your

dealer.

1.

Check

the

wire

size.

• For details on

the

wires

size

to

be used, refer

to

the

supplied"Cautions

on

the

wire

of

the

specified size.

•

If

the wire gauge used

is

unknown, ask

your

dealer.

If

any

the

remote

turn-on

lead

of

yourS-A60M/S-A32F/S-ASSV

must be connected

to

a switched power source

(ignition) in

the

vehicle.

Be

sure

to

use a 3 A fuse

as

close

to

this

this connection method,

the

is

on.

If

this

is

objectionable, a

to

the

3 A fuse

mentioned

above, may be installed

in

switch will then be used

to

turn

should be

mounted

so

that
