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. .
REMOTE TURN-ON Connect the “Remote” to the turn-on lead from the source unit. When +12 volts 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.
PROTECTION CIRCUITRY Your Soundstream amplifier is protected against both overheating and short circuits by means of the following circuits: l Main power supply fuses. l Speaker output protection. l A fail-safe thermal prelection circuit activating at WC.
