POWER AND
To assure max
GROUND
output from the DaVinci amplifier, use high quality, low-loss power and ground
cables. The DaVinci will accept up to
gauge power and ground cables. At least 4 gauge cable is
recommended.
WIRING
CIRCUIT BREAKERS/FUSES
EXTERNAL
Like all car audio amplifiers, the DaVinci must be protected with a fuse or circuit breaker located
within 18” of the battery. This will prevent a fire in the event of a shorted cable. The value of the
circuit breaker or fuse should be at least 100 amps, depending upon your application.
INTERNAL
The DaVinci is fused internally with four 30 amp glass fuses.
In the event of a blown power supply
fuses, the “Fault” indicator on the front panel will light. Never replace the fuse with a higher value
than what is supplied. This may result in amplifier damage and
void
REMOTE TURN-O/V
Connect the turn-on lead from the source unit to the “Remote” input on the amplifier. When
volts is
received, the amplifier will turn on.
SIGNAL CABLE
Depending on your application, you may use one to four DIN audio balanced signal cables to drive
your
DaVinci amplifier. Use the cables supplied with the BLT4 Balanced Line Transmitter, or see your local
Soundstream dealer.
SPEAKER CABLE
The DaVinci will accept up to 8 gauge (4 gauge on sub channel) speaker cable. Use a high quality,
flexible, multi-strand cable for best performance and longevity.
