STEALTH DYNAMIC COOLING SYSTEM
DC CONNECTIONS
D9 amplifiers need proper power and ground connections to deliver maximum
performance and efficiency. This is typically the least understood part of the installation
process. The D9 power supply is completely defendant on current, not voltage, so it is
truly regulated by nature. Voltage drops due to poor connections or grounding practices
will only cause the amp to pull more and more current to sustain output. This increased
current draw causes unwanted noise, thermal issues, and will eventually make the amp
shut down or cause the vehicles electrical system to fail.
The gauge of the power and ground cables must be capable of handling the current
needed by the entire system. Power and ground cables must be of the same gauge. If the
alternator is not capable of supplying enough power for both the vehicle AND the audio
system, a high output alternator should be installed for best performance.
