Page 2: Specifications
Soundstream amplifiers are the result of American craftsmanship and the highest quality control standards, and when properly installed, will provide you with many years of listening pleasure. Should your amplifier ever need service or replacement due to theft, please record the following information, which will help protect your investment. -
Page 3: Protection Circuitry
SERVICE Your Soundstream REFERENCE amplifier is protected by a limited warranty. Please read the enclosed warranty card. Chassisink “overbuilding” of the output section incorporates multiple output transistors instead of a few for faster, stronger power delivery. The... -
Page 4: Installation Step
Reference160s INSTALLATION STEP 5 LEVEL SETTING The input levels are adjusted by means of the input level controls located on the front of the amplifier. This is a unique dual-stage circuit that adjusts both level and gain. This topology maintains better Signal to Noise ratios even when using sources with minimal output. -

INSTALLATION STEP 4 INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING 1. AMPLIFIER LOCATION The REFERENCE amplifiers employ highly efficient circuitry and a unique Chassisink design to maintain lower operating temperatures. 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. -

SIGNAL CABLE Use a high-quality cable that will be easy to install and has minimal signal loss to guarantee optimum performance. Soundstream’s DL1 and SL1 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 performance and longevity. - Page 7 8 gauge power and ground cables.

Page 8: Reference Power Supply Design
REFERENCE POWER SUPPLY DESIGN The REFERENCE amplifiers employ an extremely efficient unregulated pulse- width modulated power supply. REFERENCE amplifiers from Soundstream are rated at 12 volts but are designed to take advantage of the additional voltage available when the vehicle is running. The two major advantages of... - Page 9 One is a higher voltage “tap” optimized for high impedance applications while the other is lower voltage designed to provide more current. Unlike other amplifiers, Soundstream’s REFERENCE amplifiers can be configured to drive virtually any impedance and make maximum power!
