POWER AND GROUND
To ensure maximum output from your REFERENCE amplifier, use high quality,
low-loss power and ground cables. The REFERENCE amplifiers will accept up
to 4 gauge or
8
gauge power and ground cables. Determine from the chart
below the minimum gauge power and ground wire
for
your
application.

SIGNAL CABLE
Use a

has
minimal signal loss
to guarantee optimum
periormance.
Soundstream’s DL.l and
SL.1
are ideal.
SPEAKER
CABLE
The REFERENCE amplifiers will accept up to
8
gauge speaker cable. Use a
high quality, flexible, multi-strand cable for best
perlormance
and longevity.
Soundstream Speaker120 & 160 (12 and 16 gauge) are ideal.

CIRCUIT
BREAKERS/FUSES
EXTERNAL
Like all audio components, the REFERENCE 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
correct
fuse value.
INTERNAL
The REFERENCE amplifiers are fused with automotive-type fuses.
In the event
of blown power supply fuses, the “Fault” indicator an the top panel will light.
The fuses are accessible via a plastic plug on the bottom of the amplifier. See
the chart below to determine the fuse value. Never replace the luaes with a
higher value than what Is
