INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

STALLATION PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Proceed only if you are qualified installer otherwise, let your dealer do it. Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
- Turn off all stereo and other electrical devices before you begin.
- Disconnect the negative(-) lead from your vehicles battery.
Make sure there is at least 2-inches (5 cm) around the air vents on the amplifier. - When connecting ground points, make sure all paint is carefully scrapped away from *The auto body and contact is made with bare metal.
- Use a utility knife to trim away fabric from hole locations before drilling or cutting.
- When running power cables through sheet metal, be sure to use grommets to properly insulate the metal edges from the wire insulation.
- If possible, use tubing through grommets.
MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER

To keep your STEALTH Series amplifier running at top performance, choosing the proper location it of utmost importance. For this reason the amplifier should be mounted in a location which will allow air to circulate freely. A clearance of at least 2-inches (5 cm) to all sides of the amplifier is necessary not only for proper cooling, but also for gaining access to the inputs and other variable controls. Be sure that the power and signal cable connections can enter and leave the amplifier in a straight line to avoid the risk of kinked wires causing a malfunction.

MOUNTING LOCATION
Your STEALTH Series amplifier comes with mounting feet that need to be attached to the amplifier prior to installation. Once the feet are in place, use the amplifier as a template and mark the four screw locations. Use caution to make sure there are no objects behind the installation surface that may become damaged during drilling. The amplifier should be protected from exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. The best places to mount your amplifier are: The floor of the trunk, under the driver's seat, or on the back of the rear seat. For alternate installation locations.

1. LINE IN (RCA)
The RCA style input jacks are for use with source units that have RCA line level outputs.
A source unit with a minimum of 250mV is required for proper operation.
However, this input will accept levels up to 6Vrms.
2. High Level Input
If you are installing by using a high level. you do not need to connect to the remote. To hear a better sound quality, you must connect the high level ground wire to the head-unit ground.
3. Thru-Out
The LINE OUT allows you to build multiple amplifiers systems without having to use splitter cords to distribute the signal. Now it is simply a matter of bringing one set of RCAS into the fist amplifier, then using the line out RCA jacks as the feed to the next amplifier.
4. Remote Bass Boost Control
This control adjusts the Bass Boost gain for the amplifier
*Packed product can be different from the photograph.
5. SPEAKER Coneector.
As shown in the wiring diagrams, be sure to observe speaker polarity through the system and speaker impedance. This specially tooled terminal is designed to accommodate p to 18 gauge speaker wire.
6. FUSE
For convenience all A STEALTH Series amplifiers utilize common automotive ATC type fuses. For continued protection in the event that a fuse blows, replace the fuse only with the same value.
7. Power Input Connector
This terminal is the main power input for the amplifier and must be connected directly to the positive (+) terminal of the car battery.
8. Remote (Remote Input Connection)
All STEALTH Series amplifiers can be turned on by applying 12 volts to this terminal. This can be found on the rear of the source unit in the form of an electric antenna output, or a remote output.
If this is not available you can wire to the ACC position on the key. An 18 gauge wire is sufficient to run the REMOTE.
9. GND (Ground Input Connection)
A good quality ground is required for your STEALTH Series amplifier to operate at peak performance.
A short length of cable the same gauge as your power cable should be used to attached the ground terminal directly to the chassis of the vehicle.
10.Power Indicator
The GREEN when the power is on.
11. Gain Adjustment Control
The input level can be adjusted with this control. Turn it in the clockwise direction when the output level of the car audio unit seems low
12. Sub Sonic Filter
Variable subsonic filter (20Hz \~50Hz)
The subsonic filter will roll off all of the unwanted frequencies below 20HZ \~50Hz.
This will allow the amplifier to use that wasted power on the audible bandwidth.
13. Low Pass Filter
STEALTH amplifier has an internal variable low pass filter. It can be set from 50 p to 500Hz.
14. Bass boost level control
Turn this control to boost the frequencies around 45Hz to a maximum of 12dB.
15. Protection Indicator
When the PROTECTOR is activated, the indicator lights in red. When the PROTECTOR
Is activated refer to the Troubleshooting Guide. (PPI Logo Badge)
16. High Pass ON/OFF Selector Switch
When the switch is in the ON position, the filter is set to High-pass. it is activated High pass potentiometer control.
17. High Pass Filter
STEALTH amplifier has an internal variable High pass filter. It can be set from 50 up to 500 Hz. It also has that can be set from 500 up to 5KHz.
18. High Pass/Full/Low Pass Selector Switch
It is activated in each of the positions in top control.

Remote Subwoofer Level Control
This input allows you to add remote that will allow you to control the subwoofer output of your STEALTH amplifier from your dashboard. and to adapt the amplifier to all kind of signal sources with varying levels there are a level control provided on the amplifier next to the phone jacks. It should not be used as volume controls. Start with a "12' clock" setting of the level controls. If you set the head unit volume to 75% of maximum you should achieve a good sound without distortion. Find a point of the level setting where the distortion is just discernible. At this point slightly reduce the control.

How to Installation
The dash control mounts with two screws, which attach to the underside of the dashboard. Slide under the dash and place the dash control in its mounting position, mark the two mounting holes, drill pilot holes, and secure with two screws.

a normal.


These amplifiers are designed to work within a 10 to 16.8 volt DC range. Before any wires are connected, the vehicles electrical system should be checked for correct voltage supply with the help of a voltmeter.
First, check the voltage at the battery with the ignition in the OFF position. The voltmeter should read not less than 12V. If your vehicles electrical system is not up to these specifications, we recommend having it checked by an auto electrician before any further installation. Once the vehicle is checked, make certain the correct cable size is used. We recommend using as large a gauge cable as possible, use the Power Cable Selection Chart to calculate the correct power wire size for your application.
Power
This amplifier should be wired directly to the vehicle battery using the appropriate size cable. Start at the vehicle battery and run the power cable through to the amplifier. Avoid running the power cable over engine components and near heater cores. The use of an online fuse o circuit breaker is a must ; this will prevent the risk of a potential fire caused by a short in your power cable. Connect the fuse holder or circuit beaker as close to the battery positive (+) terminal as possible ( no farther then 18" from the battery).This fuse or circuit breaker should be no greater then the sum of the fuses found on the chassis of your amplifier (also see specifications chart). You may now connect the cable to the battery, but remember to leave the fuse out or circuit breaker "off" until all other cable connections are made.
Ground
When grounding your amplifier, locate a metal area close to the amplifier that is good source of ground (preferably the floor pan). Once again, investigate the area you wish to use for electrical wires, vacuum lines, and brake or fuel lines. Use either a wire brush or sandpaper to eliminate unwanted paint for better contact of the ground. Secure the ground cable to the body using a bolt, star washer and nut. Spread silicon ove the wcrew and bare metal to prevent rust and possible water leaks.
Now it's time to connect the power and ground cable to the amplifier. Cut both cables to length. Strip off 1/2 - inch (12mm) of the insulation so that the bare wire will go all the way in the terminal block on the side panel of the amplifier, seating it firmly so no bare wire is exposed. Use a Philips (cross) type screwdriver to loosen the + BATT and the GND connections on the amplifier. Insert the ground first, and then the + 12V and please make sure that you place them into the correctly marked terminals.
Then tighten the screws down securely.
Remote
This terminal must be connected to a switched +12V source. Typically, remote turn-on leads are provided at the source unit that will turn on and off the amplifier in correspondence with the source.
If the source unit does not have a remote turn-on lead, then a switched +12V supply must be used, like the ACC, +12v.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
| Problem | Solution |
| Power LED not ON | With a Volt Ohm Meter (VOM) check:• +12 Volt power terminal (should read +12 to +16VDC).• Remote turn-on terminal (should read +12 to+16VDC).• Ground Terminal. |
| Power LED is GREEN, no output | • Check RCA connections.• Test speaker outputs with known good speakerSubstitute known good Source Unit.• Check for signal on the RCA cable with VOM in AC position. |
| Protection LED is ON, no output and1. Amp is VERY HOT2. Amp shuts down ONLY when the vehicle is running3. Amp plays at very low volume | • Thermal protection is engaged. Check for proper impedance at speaker terminals. Also check for adequate air flow around the amplifier.Voltage protection engaged. Voltage to the amp is not within the 10-16.8 VDC operating range.Have the battery/charging system inspected.Short circuit protection is engaged. Check for speaker wires shorted to each other or the vehicle chassis. Speakers operating below the minimum impedance can cause this to occur. |
| Alternator noise (varies with RPM) | • Check for damaged RCA cable.• Check routing of RCA cable.• Check Source Unit for good ground.• Check amp gain setting, turn down if set too high. |
| Poor Bass Response | • Check speaker polarity, reverse the connection, of one speaker only. |
NOTE: If the RED protection LED. is activated with no speakers connected to the amplifier, and all the power connections are correct; this would indicate an internal problem with the amplifier. Contact Soundstream Technologies or your local dealer.
