We strongly recommend installation by an authorized our dealer. This Owners Manual only provides general installation and operation instructions. If you have any reservations about your installation skills, please contact your local our dealer for assistance. > PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION NOTE: The tools listed below may be required for basic installation + An electric drill with bits + Philips head and standard screwdrivers + Wire strippers + Crimping tool + VOM (electronic volt ohm meter) + Heat shrink tubing and gun + Soldering iron > INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS NOTE: Proceed only if you are qualified installer otherwise, let your dealer do it. Always wear protective eyewear when using tools. + Tum off all stereo and other electrical devices before you begin. + Disconnect the negative (-) lead from your vehicles battery. * Locate all fuel lines, brake lines, oil lines, and electrical cables when planning the install. * 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 make 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. > Bluetooth Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that uses a 2.4 GHz frequency to connect to various devices over short distances. It can connect and exchange data with other Bluetooth enabled devices, such as mobile devices, computers, printers, and other digital home appliances, without connecting via cables.Notices for using Bluetooth +To avoid problems when connecting your device to another device, place the devices close to each other. + Ensure that your device and the other Bluetooth device are within the Bluetooth connection range(10m). The distance may vary depending on the environment the devices are used in. + Ensure that there are no obstacles between the headset and a connected device, including human bodies, walls, corners, or fences. + Do not touch the Bluetooth antenna of a connected device. + Bluetooth uses the same frequency as some industrial, scientific, medical, and low power products and interference may occur when making connections near these types of products. +Some devices, especially those that are not tested or approved by the Bluetooth SIG, may be incompatible with the headset. + Do not use the Bluetooth feature for illegal purposes (for example, pirating copies of files or illegally tapping communications for commercial purposes). > MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER To keep your MICRO MINI 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 MICRO MINI 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, please consult your dealer.© Upside down mounting will compromise heat dissipation through the heatsink and could engage the thermal protection circuit. © Try to avoid mounting the amplifier on a subwoofer enclosure, as extended exposure to vibration may cause malfunction of the amplifier. © Don’t mount the amplifier so that the wire connections are unprotected or are subject to pinching or damage from nearby objects. © The DC power wire must be fused at the battery positive (+) terminal connection. Before making or breaking power connections at the amplifier power terminals, disconnect the DC power wire at the battery end. © The power supply of the car audio system must be disconnected until the entire wiring and installation is completed. $T4.1000DB3} S@UNDSTREAM STEALTH AMPLIFIER I CONTROL PANEL LAYOUT $T4.1000DB1. LINE IN (RCA) Jacks 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 6Vims. 2. High Level Input If you are installing by using a high level. you do not need to connect to the remote because. To hear a better sound quality, you must connect the high level ground wire to the head-unit ground. 3. GAIN Control This control is used to match the input sensitivity of the amplifier to the particular source unit that you are using. 4, HPF (High Pass Filter) Control This control is continuously adjustable from 35Hz through 250Hz at 124B per octave 5. Bluetooth Indicator The white LED when the your mobile phone and pairing is on. 6. POWER Indicator The GREEN when the power is on. 7. Protection Indicator The amplifier protection circuitry will disable the amplifier If Input overload, short circuit or extremely high temperature conditions are detected, When the protection mode is in operation, the LED indicator on the side panel will be illuminated. Indicating the amplifier has gone into a self-preservation mode. If you observe that protection LED is It, please check the system carefully to determine what has caused the protection circuit to engage. The amplifier can be reset by turning the remote power off and then on again. If the amplifier shut down due to a thermal overload of an input overload or short circuit, be sure to repair these conditions before attempting to power up the amplifier again. 8. SPEAKER Terminals ‘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 up to 10 gauge speaker wire. 9. GND (Ground Input Connection) ‘A good quality ground is required for your MICRO MINI amplifier to operate at peak performance. A short length of cable the same gauge as your power cable should be used to attaché the ground terminal directly to the chassis of the vehicle.10, REMOTE (Remote Input Connection) All MICRO MINI amplifiers can be tuned 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. 11. REMOTE (Remote out Connection) You can use when turn on another amplifier You should be careful when connecting remote in and remote out wire. 12. +BATT (Power Input Connection) This terminal is the main power input for the amplifier and must be connected directly to the positive (+) terminal of the car battery. (see Power Cable Selection Chart on Page 9 for recommended wire gauge for each model). 13. FUSE For convenience all MICRO MINI 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 (see specifications page). 14. Omni Antena ‘When connected, the longer the communication distance. Please use solidly fixed it. 15, Thru-Pass Out These inputs are signal cables from the source. Always use high quality shieded RCA cables. The Thru-pass allows you to build mulitiple amplifier systems without having to use splitter cords to distribute that the signal. Now it is simpli a matter of bring one set of RCAS into the first amplifier, tnen using the line out RCA jacks as the feed to the next amplifier.[[wirInc AND CONNECTIONS | Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal before you start any wiring work! The power supply of your car audio system must be disconnected until the entire wiring installation is completed. ‘Your MICRO MINI amplifier requires unrestricted current to deliver peak performance, so don’t “starve” your amplifier by using small power cable. Using too small of power cable can result in unnecessary over-heating of the amplifier, distortion at high volume levels and might even cause the thermal protection circuitry to shut-off the amplifier. © Use rubber grommets when running cables through any metal or sharp plastic, to prevent accidental shorting or shearing. Make sure the cables do not interfere with normal operation of the vehicle. © The audio signal cables (RCA interconnects) should be kept far away from any potential sources of electrical interference such as electronic vehicle management systems (relays, engine computers ete.) wiring harnesses, fuel pumps ete.> POWER INPUT CONNECTIONS (FUSE) 304 ry 0 < 0 i 8 ae] Red (B+) x2 os 1 GNG BATTERY Remote(Biue) ~ SPEAKER OUTPUT CONNECTIONS ° oO.) “ST BT" Bluetooth name oan 4 yposye00s r @® ® =lO9| Ke 701 4Chanel Mode (4Q~8Q) 'S7.70000)Mone Block ampli) $T4.1000DB 14Mono Black Model (W8~BZ) epow jeueUdE gq000l’rLs Jeyoom qng Bs40-00 ) "ST BT” Bluetooth name Ss] 2Chanel Mode (42~80) g Gray/Black Groen ‘Sub woofer ST4.1000DB 16> THRU-PASS HI-LEVEL & LOW LEVEL CONNECTIONS “ST BT" Bluetooth name oJ A mp 577 700000Mon0 Block amplifier) Remote out (Orange) connect @ 2 Bee Se 89,5 = 12) Maas ‘yino soyeeds 4Chanel Mode (42~8Q) $T4,1000DB 17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 speaker ‘+ Substitute known good Source Unit. * Check for signal on the RCA cable with VOM in AC position.
