AMPLIFIER LOCATiON AND MOUNTING
Soundstream Granite amplifiers employ highly efficient circuitry and a unique
amplifier, it should be securely attached to either a panel or to an amp board or
rack that is securely fastened to the vehicle, away from moisture, stray or moving
objects, and major electrical components (electrical motors, fuel pumps, etc.). To
provide adequate ventilation, mount the amplifier so that there are at least two
inches of freelycirculating air above and to the sides of it.
A. Using the amplifier as a template, mark the mounting surface.
B. Remove the amplifier and drill the holes.
C. Mount the amplifier to the surface using the provided hardware.
You will need the following tools for the wiring of the amplifier: Phillips or slotted
screwdriver, wire strippers and wire crimpers.
When baring wires for connection to the amplifier, remove 3/8" to l/2" of the
insulation. For the speaker leads, use the supplied l/4" insulated female crimp
connectors and slide the connector onto the terminal on the amplifier. On the
power, ground and remote connections, loosen the screws on the terminal block,
slide the bared wire into the connector-and tighten the screw. Determine from the
chart below the minimum gauge power and ground wire required. Be sure to fuse
the amplifier positive power lead within 18" of the battery.
