1. ALPHASONIK Owner s Manual CAPACITOR ALPHASONIK WAS FOUNDED IN 1976 WITH ONE MISSION TO BRING STATE OF THE ART PERFORMANCE TO THE CAR AUDIO ENTHUSIAST In those early years we pioneered such ground breaking technologies as amplifier fan cooling and high voltage signal transfer which remain a benchmark in high end audio Today the new Alphasonik is committed to pushing the envelope with regard to technology quality and value Our electronics feature audio phile parts and circuit topology designed to let the full musical experience come through loud and clear Our loudspeakers employ the latest high technology materials and processes such as carbon reinforced woven glass and titanium vapor deposition to deliver your music with tremen dous impact dynamics and resolution We stand behind our quality with one of the best warranties in consumer electronics Compare Alphasonik car audio products against anything competition has to offer We re confident you will come to one conclu sion Thank you for purchasing this Alphasonik product Alpha sonik products are specifically engineered and designed for the mobile audio environment This manual contains important information about in stallation set up procedures and integrating your new Alphasonik product into your vehicle With proper care and installation your new product will provide you with many years of high performance listening enjoyment We recommend having an Au2. itself as a distribution block by adding multiple power wires to the terminals located on the top of the capacitor No fuses should be installed in the wire between the capacitor and the amplifier system make sure there is an appropriate fuse at the battery in the main power supply cable The ground cable for the capacitor should also be made as short as possible and be connected directly to the vehicle chassis at a bare metal location Do not grounf the capacitor directly to the amplifier ground terminal or ground cable The capcitor and all other components in the system should be grounded using separate ground cables It is ok to ground them to the same point on the chassis or frame just not connected directly to eachother see Fig 1 The positive and negative wires for the capacitor should be the same gauge as the amplifier s power and ground cables Charging After mounting the capacitor in its final position attach the ground to the capacitor and the chassis grounding location Next hold the supplied bulb be tween the positive battery lead and the positive terminal of the capaci tor If using a bulb it should light up for a short time normally 15 30 seconds or so and then go out After waiting for the capacitor to charge remove the bulb or resistor and immediately attach the power cable to the capacitor The best way to ensure the cap is charged best is to keep the bulb attached until you touch the main po
