2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà
Dejjem osserva l-prekawzjonijiet ta' sigurtà li ġejjin biex tevita korriment jew ħsara lill- amplifier or vehicle:
- Skonnettja t-terminal negattiv tal-batterija tal-vettura qabel tibda kwalunkwe installazzjoni.
- Ensure proper grounding to the vehicle chassis.
- Uża wajers ta' daqs xieraq għall-konnessjonijiet tal-enerġija u tal-art kif speċifikat fit-taqsima tal-installazzjoni.
- Protect all wiring from sharp edges and pinch points.
- Tarmax il- ampLififier f'postijiet esposti għax-xemx diretta, sħana eċċessiva, umdità, jew trab.
- Immonta b'mod sikur il- amplifier to prevent it from coming loose during sudden stops or impacts.
- Evita li topera l- amplifier at excessively high volume levels for prolonged periods, which can damage hearing or speakers.
- Jekk m'intix ċert dwar xi parti tal-proċess tal-installazzjoni, ikkonsulta professjonist kwalifikat.
3. Setup u Installazzjoni
Installazzjoni xierqa hija kruċjali għall-prestazzjoni u l-lonġevità tiegħek amplifier. Segwi dawn il-passi bir-reqqa.
3.1 Wiring tal-Provvista tal-Enerġija
Refer to the diagram below for correct power supply connections. Always use the specified wire gauges and ensure all connections are secure.
Image 3.1: Power Supply Wiring Diagram. This diagram illustrates the correct method for connecting the amplifier to the vehicle's power system, including the battery, fuse, and ground connections. Ensure the fuse capacity matches the amprekwiżiti tal-lifer.
Importanti: The total fuse capacity of the amplifier must be installed and the specified wire length. For detailed information, refer to the "Power Supply" section in the owner's manual. Always connect the power wire directly to the positive battery terminal and the ground wire to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle chassis.
- Batterija (BATT): Connect to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle battery via an appropriate fuse.
- Remot (REM): Connect to the remote turn-on output of your head unit.
- Art (GND): Connect to a clean, unpainted metal part of the vehicle chassis.
- Speaker Output (SPK OUT): Connect to your subwoofer(s).

3.2 Konnessjonijiet tal-Input tal-Awdjo
The S-A60M supports both low-level (RCA) and high-level (speaker wire) inputs.
- Input ta' Livell Baxx (RCA): Connect RCA cables from your head unit's subwoofer or full-range pre-outs to the amplifier's INPUT (L/R) terminals.
- Input ta' Livell Għoli: If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, connect speaker wires from your head unit's speaker outputs directly to the amplifier's high-level input terminals (if available, or use a line output converter).

4. It-tħaddim tal- Ampaktar ħaj
Ladarba tkun installata, aġġusta l- ampSettings tal-lifer għal prestazzjoni ottimali tal-ħoss.
4.1 Aġġustament tal-Livell tad-Dħul
- Issettja l- LIVELL TA 'DĦUL switch to "LO" for low-level (RCA) inputs or "HI" for high-level inputs.
- Aġġusta l- QIBDA control to match the output of your head unit. Start with the gain at minimum, play a familiar track, and slowly increase the gain until distortion is heard, then back off slightly.
4.2 LP Filter (Low-Pass Filter)
The LP Filter allows only frequencies below the set point to pass through to the subwoofer. This is essential for proper subwoofer integration.
- Aġġusta l- FILTRU LP knob to set the desired crossover frequency (e.g., 80Hz-120Hz is common for subwoofers).
4.3 Bass EQ
The Bass EQ provides a boost to specific bass frequencies.
- Aġġusta l- BASS EQ knob to increase or decrease bass output. Use sparingly to avoid distortion and speaker damage.
4.4 Remote Bass Control (Optional RUX-KNOB.2)
If you have the optional Alpine RUX-KNOB.2 remote bass control, connect it to the REMOTE BASS CONTROL port fuq il amplifier. This allows for convenient, on-the-fly adjustment of subwoofer output from the driver's seat.
5. Manutenzjoni
Manutenzjoni regolari tiżgura l-lonġevità u l-prestazzjoni ottimali tiegħek ampaktar ħaj.
- Tindif: Imsaħ perjodikament il- ampNaddaf il-barra tal-lifer b'ċarruta ratba u niexfa. Evita li tuża kimiċi ħarxa jew prodotti tat-tindif li joborxu.
- Konnessjonijiet: Annually check all power, ground, and speaker connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to poor performance or damage.
- Ventilazzjoni: Tiżgura l- ampIx-xewk tat-tkessiħ tal-lifier huma ħielsa minn ostakli biex jippermettu dissipazzjoni xierqa tas-sħana.
6 Issolvi l-problemi
Jekk tesperjenza problemi ma tiegħek amplifier, consult the following table before seeking professional assistance.
| Sintomu | Kawża Possibbli | Soluzzjoni |
|---|---|---|
| Ebda enerġija/Ebda ħoss | Blown fuse, loose power/ground connection, remote wire not connected, amplifier fil-mod ta 'protezzjoni. | Check fuses (on amplifier and in power line), verify all power and ground connections, ensure remote wire is connected to head unit's remote output, check for overheating or short circuits. |
| Ħoss distort | Gain set too high, improper input level switch setting, damaged speaker, poor signal source. | Reduce gain, ensure INPUT LEVEL switch matches input type (LO/HI), check speaker wiring and condition, test with a different audio source. |
| No bass output | LP Filter set too high/low, Bass EQ set too low, subwoofer wiring issue. | Adjust LP Filter to appropriate frequency, increase Bass EQ if desired (with caution), verify subwoofer connections and impedance. |
| Amplifier iżżejjed | Insufficient ventilation, improper impedance load, gain set too high. | Kun żgur li jkun hemm fluss ta' arja adegwat madwar amplifier, verify speaker impedance matches amplifier's capabilities, reduce gain setting. |
