POWER AND GROUND
To assure maximum output from your amplifier, use high quality, low-loss power
and ground cables. Soundstream amplifiers incorporate gold-plated barrier
strips for maximum power transfer and protection from corrosion. The screw
terminals back out for use with spade & ring terminals. Determine from the chart
below the minimum gauge power and ground wire for your application.
