POWER AND GROUND

To assure maximum output from your amplifier, use high quality, low-loss power

and ground cables. Soundstream amplifiers incorporate gold-plated barrier

strips for maximum power transfer and protection from corrosion. The screw

terminals back out for use with spade

ring terminals. Determine from the chart

below the minimum gauge power and ground wire for your application.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS/FUSES

EXTERNAL

Like all audio components, the Soundstream amplifiers must be fused near the

battery A fuse or circuit breaker must be located within

18”

of the battery This

will prevent a fire in the event of a shorted cable. See the chart below to

determine the value of your battery Fuse/circuit breaker.

INTERNAL

The Soundstream amplifiers are fused internally with automotive-type fuses.

The fuse is accessible on the left side of the amplifier.

Never replace the fuses

with a higher value than what is supplied.

REMOTE TURN-ON

is received, the amplifier will turn on.

SIGNAL CABLE

To guarantee optimum performance, use a high-quality cable that will be easy

to install and has minimal signal loss.

SPEAKER CABLE

Use a high quality, flexible, multi-strand cable for best performance and

longevity.
