    150wx 1 4 INSTALLATION STEP 1 t SETTING THE CROSSOVER MODES The Soundstream SA.120, 244, & 245 incorporate a replaceable S.I.P. electronic crossover for each of their pairs of channels(sub channel only on Soundstream’s SA*245), as well as the outputs (SAmI & SA*244). The SA*120, 244, & 245 amplifiers can drive a complete system without need of an outboard electronic crossover.
  • Page 7 In most car audio installations, there is a tendency for a “midbass boom.” Because of their interior dimensions, most cars will resonate or ring at these midbass frequencies. If we design the system so there is less musical information in this region, the final response is very smooth and natural sounding.

    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. Model Amplifier Fuse SA.120 25 amp automotive SAa244 30 amp automotive SAm245 30 amp automotive...

    4 INSTALLATION STEP 4 t INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING AMPLIFIER LOCATION The SA amplifiers employ highly efficient circuitry and a unique Chassisinkm design to maintain lower operating temperatures. 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 levels.
