Product Information

Congratulations on your purchase of high-quality speakers from Alpine. The speakers have a recommended amplification of up to 80 watts RMS per channel. The product contains a high-performance tweeter. The design and specifications of the product are subject to change without notice.

Product Usage Instructions

Do not over-drive the amplifier. Over-driving the amplifier will result in distortion or clipping and can damage any speaker.
Make sure gain controls are properly set. (Follow instructions in the amplifier owner’s manual.)
Make sure that the speaker is properly rated for the amplifier.
Make sure that volume, bass, treble, equalization, or crossover settings do not cause the amplifier to over-drive.
If there is a tweeter already installed in your car, then you must disconnect its terminals before installing the Alpine speakers. If you leave the original tweeter connected and connect this product in parallel, then a fault may develop in this product, so you are strongly recommended not to do so.
Follow the instructions provided for the installation of the woofers and tweeters. The instructions include information on factory or custom fit installations, swivel flush mount, and external stealth mounting.
If you need further assistance, please contact your Alpine authorized dealer.
