Volt Power; Remote Turn On; High Level Inputs - Soundstream Tarantula Series Owner's Manual

CONTROL FUNCTIONS
1. SPEAKERS
Connect speakers/subwoofers to these terminals. Be sure to check wire for proper
polarity. Never connect the speaker cables to chassis ground.

2. +12 Volt Power

Connect this terminal through a FUSE or CIRCUIT BREAKER to the positive terminal of
the vehicle battery or the positive terminal of an isolated audio system battery.
Warning: Always protect this power cable by installing a fuse or circuit breaker of the
appropriate size within 18 inches (45cm) of the battery terminal connection.

3.Remote Turn On

This terminal turns on the amplifier when (+)12 volt is applied to it . Connect it to the
remote turn on lead of the head unit or signal source.
4.GND
Connect this cable directly to the frame of the vehicle. Make sure the metal frame
has been stripped of all paint down to the bare metal. Use the shortest distance possible.
It is always a good idea to replace the factory ground at this time with a larger cable equal
to the new amplifier power cable or larger. CAUTION: Do not connect this terminal directly
to the vehicle battery ground terminal or any other factory ground points.
5. RCA input jacks
These RCA input jacks are for use with source units that have RCA outputs. A source
unit with a minimum level of 200mV is required for proper operation. The use of high
quality twisted pair cables is recommended to decrease the possibility of radiated noise
entering the system.

6. High level inputs

The high level inputs are for use with speaker level wiring. Some source units do not
have RCA outputs, so use this terminal for speaker level signal input. CAUTION: Never use
high level input when RCA inputs available.
