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
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.
