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 NOISE WHILE DRIVING. Failure to do so may result in an accident.
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 OR 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 BOLTS OR SCREWS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

CAUTION

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Center for repairing.
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS. The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you purchased this product to have the work done.
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY. Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other than designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become loose resulting in hazards or product failure.
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE. Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire’s insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST. Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may result in product failure.

INSTALLATION

Due to the high power output of the MRV-F450/MRVF540/MRV-F340, considerable heat is produced when the amplifier is in operation. For this reason, the amplifier should be mounted in a location which will allow for free circulation of air, such as inside the trunk. For alternate installation locations, please contact your authorized Alpine dealer.

1. Using the amplifier as a template, mark the four screw locations.

2. Make sure there are no objects behind the surface
   that may become damaged during drilling.

3. Drill the screw holes.

4.  Position the MRV-F450/MRV-F540/MRV-F340 over the screw holes, and secure with four self-tapping screws.

NOTE:
To securely connect the ground lead, use an already installed screw on the metal part of the vehicle (marked (★)). Be sure this is a good ground by checking continuity to the battery (–) terminal. As much as possible connect all equipment to the same ground point. These procedures will help eliminate noise.

1. Self-Tapping Screws (M4 x 14)
2. Ground Lead
3. Chassis
4. Holes

CONNECTIONS

Before making connections, be sure to turn the power off to all audio components. Connect the yellow battery lead from the amp directly to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle’s battery. Do not connect this lead to the fuse block.
To prevent external noise from entering the audio system.

• Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10 cm away from the car harness.
• Keep the battery power leads as far away from other leads as possible.
• Connect the ground lead securely to a bare metal spot (remove any paint or grease if necessary) of the car chassis.
• If you add an optional noise suppressor, connect it as far away from the unit as possible. Your Alpine dealer carries various noise suppressors, contact them for further information.
• Your Alpine dealer knows best about noise prevention measures so consult your dealer for further information.

1. RCA Subwoofer Input Jacks (CH-5) (MRV-F450 only)

2. RCA Input Jacks
   Connect these jacks to the line out leads on your head unit using RCA extension cables (sold separately). Be sure to observe correct channel connections; Left to Left and Right to Right. (Front to Front and Rear to Rear)

3.  Pre-Out Jacks (Except for MRV-F450)
   These jacks provide a Front + Rear summed output (Non-fading). This is an ideal output for driving a separate subwoofer amp. This output is full-range, and is not affected by the crossover.

4. Subwoofer Output Terminals (CH-5) (MRV-F450 only)

5. Speaker Output Terminals
   The MRV-F450/MRV-F540/MRV-F340 has two sets of speaker outputs. Be sure to observe correct speaker output connections and phasing. In the stereo mode, connect the right speaker outputs to the right speaker and the left to left. Connect the positive output to the positive speaker terminal and the negative to negative. In the bridged mode, connect the left positive to the positive terminal on the speaker and the right negative to the negative terminal of the speaker. Do not use the speaker (–) terminals as a common lead between the left and right channels. Do not connect this lead to the vehicle’s chassis.
   NOTE: Do not connect speaker leads together or to chassis ground.

6.  Insulation Tube

7. Battery Lead (Yellow) (Sold Separately)
   Be sure to add a ★ 50 amp fuse (or two 25A fuses in parallel) as close as possible to the battery’s positive (+) terminal. This fuse will protect your vehicle’s electrical system in case of a short circuit. If you need to extend this lead, the wire gauge should be 8 AWG or larger.
   ★ MRV-F450 … 50 amp fuse (or two 25A fuses in parallel)
   MRV-F540 … 60A amp fuse (or two 30A fuses in parallel)
   MRV-F340 … 30A amp fuse

8. Remote Turn-On Lead (Blue/White) (Sold Separately)
   Connect this lead to the remote turn-on or power antenna (positive trigger, (+) 12V only) lead of your head unit.

9. Ground Lead (Black) (Sold Separately)
   Connect this lead securely to a clean, bare metal spot on the vehicle’s chassis. Verify this point to be a true ground by checking for continuity between that point and the negative (–) terminal of the vehicle’s battery. Ground all your audio components to the same point on the chassis to prevent ground loops.

10. Speaker Input Leads (MRV-F340 only)
    These leads are input leads for use with head units not equipped with preamp outputs. When not using the RCA Line Input connectors, you should connect these wires to the speaker output leads of your head unit. The MRV-F340 accepts input from high power or standard power head units.

Cautions on wire lead connections When using third-party wire cables (power supply cord), use the supplied hex screws (M4) and the hex wrench (M4) 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.
   Notes:
   • Recommended wire size for this unit is AWG6 – AWG18.
   • If the wire gauge used is unknown, ask your dealer.

2. Remove the insulation from the ends of the wire leads by about 7 – 10mm (9/32″ – 3/8″). (Fig. 9)
   Notes:
   • If length of the exposed wire is too short, a poor connection may occur causing operation failure or sound interruption.
   • On the other hand, if the length is too long, an electrical short-circuit may occur.

3.  Remove the screw attached to the terminal. Insert the exposed wire end into the lead terminal. Tighten the hex screw (M4) with the hex wrench (M4), to fix the lead. (Fig. 10)
   Before making this connection, use insulated shrink tubing to cover any exposed wire extending beyond the terminal.
   Notes:
   • Use only the hex screws (M4) supplied.
   • For the safety, always connect the battery leads last.
   • To prevent disconnection of the leads or dropping of the unit, do not use the cabling to carry the unit.

CONNECTIONS CHECK LIST

Please check your head unit for the conditions listed below:
a. The head unit does not have a remote turn-on or power antenna lead.
b. The head unit’s power antenna lead is activated only when the radio is on (turns off in the tape or CD Mode).
c. The head unit’s power antenna lead is logic level output (+) 5V, negative trigger (grounding type), or cannot sustain (+) 12V when connected to other equipment in addition to the vehicle’s power antenna.
If any of the above conditions exist, the remote turn-on lead of your MRV-F450/MRV-F540/MRV-F340 must be connected to a switched power source (ignition) in the vehicle. Be sure to use a 3A fuse as close as possible to this ignition tap. Using this connection
method, the MRV-F450/MRV-F540/MRV-F340 will turn on and stay on as long as the ignition switch is on.
If this is objectionable, a SPST (Single Pole, Single Throw) switch, in addition to the 3A fuse mentioned above, may be installed in-line on the MRV-F450/MRVF540/MRV-F340 turn-on lead. This switch will then be used to turn on (and off) the MRV- F450/MRV-F540/ MRV-F340. Therefore, the switch should be mounted so it is accessible to the driver. Make sure the switch is turned off when the vehicle is not running. Otherwise, the amplifier will remain on and drain the battery.
