Soundstream 102 User Guide

Use a high quality cable that will be easy to install and has minimal signal loss to

guarantee optimum performance.

The 

 amplifiers employ highly efficient circuitry, a custom-engineered

heat sink, and a unique Chassisink construction to maintain lower operating 
peratures. Additional cooling may be required if the amplifier is located in a tightly

confined area or when driving especially low impedance loads at extremely high

The 

 amplifiers will accept up to 8 gauge speaker cable. Use  a high

quality, flexible, multi-strand cable for best performance and longevity.

When mountinq the amplifier, it should be securely mounted to either a panel in the
vehicle or an amp board or rack that is securely mounted to the vehicle. The

mounting location should be either in the passenger compartment or in the trunk of

the vehicle, away from moisture, stray or moving objects, and major electrical com-

ponents. To provide adequate ventilation, mount the amplifier so that there are at
least two inches of freely circulating air above and to the sides of it.

a.

Using the amplifier as a template, mark the holes on the mounting

surface.
b.

Remove the amplifier and drill the holes for the mounting screws.

C.

Secure the amplifier to the mounting surface using the supplied hardware.

a.

Run and connect the audio signal and remote turn-on cables to the

amplifier from the source unit.

b.

Carefully run the positive cable from the amplifier to a fuse or circuit
breaker within 18” of the battery.

C.

Connect the fuse or circuit breaker lead to the battery. Leave the circuit
breaker off or the fuse out until everything is bolted down.

d.

Secure the ground cable to a solid chassis ground on the vehicle. It may
be necessary to sand paint down to raw metal for a good connection.

e.

Double check each and every connection!

f.

Reconnect the fuse or circuit breaker.

Power up the system, there may be a 2-3 second delay from the time the source
unit is turned on to the time that the amplifier turns on, which is normal. Once the

 LED is on and the source unit is playing, you should have sound coming

from the speakers.
