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 NOISES 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, fire or electric shock. USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS. Use for other than its designed application may result in fire, electric shock or other injury. USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES. Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock. DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS. Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire. MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS. Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire 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 fire, etc. BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE 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 fire or electric shock. DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE DR 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 fire. 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 fire etc. KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OFTHE REACH OF CHILDREN. Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

CAUTION

Cautions on Power Wire connections
The power wire cannot be connected until its end has been stripped. Below explains how to connect the stripped end of the power wire. Note; Use the supplied hexagon screws forthis connection. It is highly recommended that this be carried out by the dealer II you make this connection yourself. ensure the connection is correct by fOllowing the instructions below carefully. Be sure to use the supplied hexagon screws for this connection For safety reasons, connect the battery wire last To prevent disconnection of the leads or dropping of the unit. do nol carry the unit by the wire Be sure to add a fuse as close as possible to the ballery. Make sure to use a fuse of the correct rating for the power wire t. Check the wire gauge. Notes; Only AWG4 (the wire gauge) is recommended to use for this connection o If in doubt, consult your dealer or Customer Support regarding correct wire gauge to use Strip back between 7-10mm (9/32"-318") of the power wire's insulation to expose the conductor. Notes; If the length of the exposed conductor is too short. a poor connection may occur causing operation failure or sound interruption. Conversely. if the exposed conductor is too long. an electrical short-circuit may occur Loosen the unil's wire terminal hexagon screws. and insert the exposed conductor into the terminal and finally tighten to secure the connection. Verify lhatthe power wire is connected securely.

CAUTION Caution on connection terminals/parts Do not allow other objects (particularly electrically conductive) to get too close or in contact with any of the unit's terminals/parts (power supply. fuse, speaker output terminal, RCA connector. etc.). Doing so may result in short circuit or accident.

AMPLIFIERS
PDX Series Digital Power Density Amplifiers
Winner of a CES Innovations 2010 Design and Engineering Award for the In-Vehicle Audio category, Alpines next-generation PDX amplifier series is designed and engineered for ultimate sound quality, power performance and reliability. The new cosmetics offer an attractive, compact package that is 20 percent thinner than the first generation. The PDXs compact chassis is easy to fit in tight spaces, such as under the seat. The PDX amplifiers also are stackable, allowing for a large multi-amplifier system to be installed in a tight space. The new PDX amplifiers incorporate a completely new power supply design with sophisticated thermal and voltage protection, low noise and high efficiency. This power supply does its work efficiently too, averaging above 90 percent efficiency at all power levels. The thermal protection circuit constantly monitors internal amplifier temperature, reducing power when necessary to keep the music playing under extreme heat and load conditions. It also can roll back power when battery voltage drops significantly under load, again preventing shutdowns under extreme conditions. The new PDX amplifiers integrate parallel globally modulated analog feedback to maximize sonic quality. This new design results in an extremely wide, flat frequency response with ultra-low noise and distortion. The new PDX amplifiers provide superior sound quality, with extremely low distortion levels (less than 0.01 percent), very low noise (greater than 120dB at full rated power), and noticeably wide bandwidth (5Hz 100kHz for the 4-channel models, 5Hz 400Hz for the 5-channel model). PDX amplifiers have an extremely high damping factor, more than 1000 for the mono models (PDX-M12 and PDX-M6) and more than 500 for the 4-channel models (PDX-F6 and PDX-F4) twice that of the closest competitor and more than four times the class average, giving outstanding speaker control and linearity. The PDX series is designed for easy flush installation in any custom set up. New quick-release connectors are used for both the speaker outputs and the power leads for fast installation and troubleshooting. The sleek design doesnt compromise functionality either, with all controls and connections easily accessible. The removable trim rings can be custom painted to match unique color schemes.
