3.1 Power Supply Wiring
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 ampsyarat liifier urang.
penting: 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.
- Battery (BATT): Connect to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle battery via an appropriate fuse.

3.2 Sambungan Input Audio
The S-A60M supports both low-level (RCA) and high-level (speaker wire) inputs.
- Input Tingkat Handap (RCA): Connect RCA cables from your head unit's subwoofer or full-range pre-outs to the amplifier's INPUT (L/R) terminals.
- Input Tingkat Tinggi: 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).

4.1 Input Level Adjustment
- Nyetél INPUT TINGKAT switch to "LO" for low-level (RCA) inputs or "HI" for high-level inputs.
- Saluyukeun GAIN 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.
- Saluyukeun LP FILTER knob to set the desired crossover frequency (e.g., 80Hz-120Hz is common for subwoofers).
4.3 EQ Bass
The Bass EQ provides a boost to specific bass frequencies.
- Saluyukeun 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 palabuhan dina amplifier. This allows for convenient, on-the-fly adjustment of subwoofer output from the driver's seat.
