Default Downloading manuals......aaaaaarrrgh!

Just bought an underseat active sub off e-bay, comes complete with all connections, but no manual.

So over I go the Alpine website. Alpine? You say? Good make, THEY will have what you want!

So I enter in the search box "Active subwoofer".
Nowt.
I try "powered subwoofer".
Nowt
I try the above with just "sub" instead of subwoofer.
Nowt
I try the above using "sub-woofer"
Nowt
Finally I enter it's code off the front of the speaker, "SWE 1000".
Nowt

So I give up on there and try Googling it. Up it comes straight away, and yep, you guessed it: on the Alpine website!

Apparently I missed ou a dash between SWE and 1000, it SHOULD have said SWE-1000, or it can't find anything.

Who designs these websites?

Can't say I've never had that problem even for my spectrum analyser.
