POWER AND GROUND
To assure maximum output from your amplifier, use high quality, low-loss power
and ground cables. Soundstream SA 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, as well as bare 
wire.
Determine from the chart below the minimum gauge power and ground wire for
your application.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS/FUSES
EXTERNAL
Like all other amplifiers, the Soundstream 
 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 fuses are accessible 
via a plastic plug 
on the bottom of the amplifier. Never
replace the fuses with a higher value than what is supplied. This may
result   amplifier damage and 
 void 
 warranty!

 you may
use one, two, or three pairs of signal cables to drive your amplifier. To
guarantee optimum performance, use a high-quality cable that will be easy to
install and has minimal signal loss.

longevity. Soundstream Speaker120 & 160 (12   16 gauge) are ideal.
