2. Veiligheidsinformatie
Neem de volgende veiligheidsmaatregelen in acht om schade aan het product of letsel aan uzelf te voorkomen.
- Blootstelling aan water: While designed for marine use with IPX5 water resistance, avoid direct high-pressure water jets.
- Stroomaansluitingen: Ensure all power connections are secure and correctly polarized to prevent electrical shorts or damage.
- Montage: Mount speakers securely to prevent detachment during vessel movement.
- Volumeniveaus: Langdurige blootstelling aan hoge geluidsniveaus kan gehoorschade veroorzaken.
- Professionele installatie: If you are unsure about any installation steps, consult a qualified marine audio technician.
3. Installatie en installatie
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and durability of your marine speakers. This section outlines the general steps for mounting and wiring.
3.1. Uitpakken en inspecteren
Carefully remove the speakers from their packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit. Ensure all components are present:
- Alpine SPS-M601W 6.5-inch Marine Coaxial Speakers
- Bevestigingsmateriaal (schroeven, klemmen)
- Roosters

3.3. Cutting the Mounting Hole
- Refer to the specifications section for the precise cutout diameter.
- Use a template (often included or available from Alpine) to mark the cutting area.
- Carefully cut the hole using an appropriate tool, ensuring clean edges.
3.4. Bedradingsaansluitingen
Connect the speaker wires to your marine audio amplifier or head unit. Observe correct polarity: positive (+) to positive and negative (-) to negative. Incorrect wiring can lead to phase issues and reduced sound quality.
- The speakers have a nominal impedance of 4 Ohms.
- Zorg ervoor dat uw amplifier is stable at a 4 Ohm load.

3.5. De luidsprekers vastzetten
- Place the speaker into the mounting hole.
- Align the mounting holes on the speaker frame with the pre-drilled holes on the mounting surface.
- Secure the speaker using the provided screws. Do not overtighten.
- Attach the grilles by aligning them with the speaker frame and pressing firmly until they click into place or securing with screws if applicable.

4. Bediening
Once installed, your Alpine SPS-M601W speakers are ready for use. They are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing marine audio system.
- Inschakelen: Turn on your marine head unit or ampverliezer.
- Audiobron: Select your desired audio source (radio, Bluetooth, auxiliary input, etc.).
- Volume aanpassen: Gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level. Avoid excessively high volumes to prevent distortion and potential speaker damage.
- Geluidsinstellingen: Pas de bas-, treble- en balansinstellingen aan op uw autoradio of amplifier to optimize sound quality according to your preference and the acoustic environment of your vessel.

5. Onderhoud en verzorging
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your marine speakers.
- Schoonmaak: Clean the speaker grilles and surrounds with a soft, damp doek. Vermijd schurende reinigingsmiddelen of oplosmiddelen.
- Blootstelling aan zout water: After exposure to saltwater, rinse the speakers with fresh water to prevent salt buildup, which can corrode components.
- UV-bescherming: The grilles are UV resistant (rated at ASTM D4329), but prolonged, extreme sun exposure can still affect appearance over time.
- Inspectie: Controleer de bedrading regelmatig op corrosie of loszittende verbindingen. Zorg ervoor dat de bevestigingsschroeven goed vastzitten.
6. Probleemoplossing
If you experience issues with your Alpine SPS-M601W speakers, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Geen geluid:
- Check all wiring connections for proper polarity and secure contact.
- Controleer de ampDe versterker of autoradio is ingeschakeld en functioneert naar behoren.
- Ensure the audio source is active and volume is turned up.
- Vervormd geluid:
- Verlaag het volume van uw autoradio of ampverliezer.
- Controleer of de bedrading los zit.
- Zorg ervoor dat de ampDe versterker is niet overstuurd of clipt niet.
- Verify the impedance of the speakers matches the ampLifier's mogelijkheden.
- Onderbroken geluid:
- Controleer de bedrading op losse verbindingen of corrosie.
- Check for any short circuits in the speaker wiring.
- Eén luidspreker werkt niet:
- Swap the non-working speaker with a known working one to determine if the issue is with the speaker or the wiring/amplifier-kanaal.
- Check the balance settings on your head unit.
