INSTALLATION Due to the high power output of the MRV-M1200 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-M1200 over the screw holes, and secure with four self-tapping screws.

Cables or wiring that obstruct or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous. ATTACHING THE TERMINAL COVERS Attach the terminal covers (included) after connections and confirmation of correct operation. Attaching the terminal covers will improve the appearance of the unit. How to attach the terminal covers: Attach the terminal covers to the main unit. Terminal Covers Chassis Ground Lead Holes NOTE: • To securely connect the ground lead, use an already installed screw on a metal part of the vehicle (marked ( )) or a clean, bare metal spot on the vehicle's chassis. Be sure this is a good ground by checking continuity to the battery (-) terminal. Connect all equipment to the same ground point while keeping wire length as short as possible. These procedures will help eliminate noise. 5. Attach the Remote Bass Control Unit. Attach the Remote Bass Control Unit under the instrument panel or side of the front console, etc., by using the four supplied Self-Tapping Screws.
