(Continued from page 11)
SPEAKER CABLE
The REFERENCE604 will accept up to 6 gauge speaker cable. Use a high
quality, flexible, multi-strand cable for best performance and longevity.
Soundstream Speaker120 & 160 (12 and 16 gauge) are ideal.

INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING

1. AMPLIFIER LOCATION
The REFERENCE604 employs highly efficient circuitry and a unique
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.
When mountiog the amplifier, it should be securely mounted to either a panel in
the vehicle or an amp board or rack that is securely mounted to the vehicle. The
mounting location should be either in the passenger compartment or in the trunk
of the vehicle, away from moisture, stray or moving objects, and major electrical
components. To provide adequate ventilation, mount the amplifier so that there
are at least two inches of freely circulating air above and to the sides of it.
2. SWITCHES
Set High Power/High Current, Input Switches, and Crossover stitches to the
appropriate positions (see pages 7 - 10). After setting the switches, be sure to
install the hole plugs in~cluded with the amplifier.
3. MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER
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.

4. WIRING

a. Route and connect the audio signal and remote turn-on cables to the amplifier
from the source unit.
b. Carefully run the positive cable from the amplifier to a fuse or circuit
breaker within 18" of the battery.
c. Connect the fuse or circuit breaker to the battery Leave the circuit breaker off
fuse out until everything is bolted down.
d. Secure the ground cable to a solid chassis ground on the vehicle. It may be
necessary to sand paint down to raw metal for a good connection.
e. Double check each and every connection!
f. Re-connect the fuse or circuit breaker.
POWER UP
Power up the system and look at the green and red LEDs, depending on the
configuration. one should be lit. There may be a 2 -3 second delav from the time
the the source unit is turned on to the time that the LED on theamp turns on.
which is normal.. Once the amplifier power LED is on and the source unit is
playing, you should have sound coming from the speakers.
