2
English
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
ATTENTION
PRUDENCIA
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
INSTALLATION
INSTALACIÓN
Due to the high power output of the MRP-M350, 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 MRP-M350 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.

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 the coating 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 Alpine noise suppressors, contact them for further information.
• Your Alpine dealer knows best about noise prevention measures so consult your dealer for further information.

CONNECTIONS CHECK LIST
LISTE DE VERIFICATION DES
CONNEXIONS
LISTA DE VERIFICACIÓN DE
CONEXIONES
Please check your head unit for the conditions listed
below: (Fig. 3)
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 turnon lead of your MRP-M350 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 MRPM350 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 MRP-M350 turnon lead. This switch will then be used to turn on (and
off) the MRP-M350. 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.

Ç Input Gain Adjustment Control
É Bass EQ Adjustment Knob
Set the MRP-M350 input gain to the minimum (4V)
position. Using a dynamic CD as a source, increase
the head unit volume until the output distorts. Then,
reduce the volume 1 step (or until the output is no
longer distorted). Now, increase the amplifier gain
until the sound from the speakers becomes distorted.
Reduce the gain slightly so the sound is no longer
distorted to achieve the optimum gain setting.
Boost the low frequency output of the amplifier from
0 dB (flat) to +12dB. Adjust the Bass EQ (centered at
50 Hz) to suit your personal taste.
