Use the brackets and screws provided to secure the ALF40 within the structure. In-Ceiling The illustration on the next page shows how the brackets supplied can be used to fix the ALF40 to a ceiling joist. Notice the port protrudes from the cabinet - this allows it to then protrude through a suitable hole cut in the plasterboard ceiling layer.

The supplied Port Trim can be used to improve the appearance of the port when, for example, the ALF40 is installed behind a plasterboard ceiling. It is designed to fit up to 5mm over the end of the protruding port.
Note: Amplifier must be 4 Ohm stable. In this scenario, one of the amplifier channels (left or right) is used to drive the ALF40 and one of the Evolution speakers together in parallel. It is assumed bass frequencies are mixed in mono on most program material, however for orchestral music better performance will be obtained with the ALF40 connected to the left channel of the amplifier.
Note: Amplifier must be 4 Ohm stable. For systems using a pair of AIW550i speakers, a pair of ALF40’s will be necessary. In this scenario both channels of the stereo amplifier drive one ALF40 in parallel connection with an AIW550i.
Multi-channel Amplifier By connecting a single ALF40 to its own amplifier channel, its output (relative to the AIW150i / AIW350i pair) can be set optimally. In larger rooms care should be taken not to adjust the relative output of the ALF40 too high.
CH 2 ALF40 Multi-channel Amplifier For systems using a pair of AIW550i speakers, two ALF40’s will be necessary. In this scenario the amplifier will need four independent channels. This setup will work equally well with a pair of AIW350i speakers.
4. 4 system (2. 2x2 = 4. 4) depending on the amount of bass output required. T o avoid unwanted vibrations, ensure the ALF40 is fixed securely to a structure or, if free standing, the supplied rubber feet are used.
3-way binding post (4mm plug, spade or bare wire) Limited Warranty: The ALF40 is designed to operate reliably for many years. Correctly installed and in accordance with these instructions, Amina warranties the ALF40 against defective materials and workmanship for a period of one year.
