FEATURES

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

1. SPEAKERS

Connect speakers/subwoofers to these terminals. Be sure to check wire for proper

polarity. Never connect the speaker cables to chassis ground.

2. +12 Volt Power

Connect this terminal through a FUSE or CIRCUIT BREAKER to the positive terminal of

the vehicle battery or the positive terminal of an isolated audio system battery.

Warning: Always protect this power cable by installing a fuse or circuit breaker of the

appropriate size within 18 inches (45cm) of the battery terminal connection.

3.Remote Turn On

This terminal turns on the amplifier when (+)12 volt is applied to it . Connect it to the

remote turn on lead of the head unit or signal source.

4.GND

Connect this cable directly to the frame of the vehicle. Make sure the metal frame

has been stripped of all paint down to the bare metal. Use the shortest distance possible.

It is always a good idea to replace the factory ground at this time with a larger cable equal

to the new amplifier power cable or larger. CAUTION: Do not connect this terminal directly

to the vehicle battery ground terminal or any other factory ground points.

5. RCA input jacks

These RCA input jacks are for use with source units that have RCA outputs. A source

unit with a minimum level of 200mV is required for proper operation. The use of high

quality twisted pair cables is recommended to decrease the possibility of radiated noise

entering the system.

6. High level inputs

The high level inputs are for use with speaker level wiring. Some source units do not

have RCA outputs, so use this terminal for speaker level signal input. CAUTION: Never use

high level input when RCA inputs available.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

7. REMOTE

Connect the remote controller to control the subwoofer amplifier volume from the

driver seat location, for ease of adjustment during playing.

8. LEVEL Control

The level control will match the amplifiers sensitivity to the source units signal

voltage. The Operating range is 200mV minimum to 5V maximum. This is NOT a volume

control!

9. Low Pass Filter Control

This control is used to select the desired low pass x-over frequency. The frequency

can be adjusted from 40Hz to 220Hz for all bass mono models.

10. Subsonic Filter Control

This control can filter out unwanted low frequency from 10Hz (OFF) to 50Hz. This

function will increase the power handling of your woofers.

11. Bass Boost Frequency and Level Control

By adjusting these two knobs, you can boost a wanted frequency to a wanted level.

The center boost frequency is adjustable from 30Hz to 90Hz, the boost level is adjustable

from 0dB to 12dB.

12. Phase Control

This control can adjust speaker output phase from 0 to 180 degrees infinitely to

match your system phase characteristics.

13. X-over mode and frequency Control (Full range)

These controls allow control over the frequencies played for the front channels.

There is an option for Low Pass, Full Range or High Pass. In LP or HP mode the frequency

range is from 50Hz to 4kHz.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

14. X-over mode and frequency Control (Monoblocks)

These controls allow control over the frequencies played for the rear channels.

There is an option for Low/BandPass, Full Range or High Pass. In HP mode, the frequency

range is from 15Hz to 500Hz. In LP mode, the frequency range can be switched from 50Hz

to 800Hz, or 250Hz to 4kHz. In the higher range, the LPF can be set at 4kHz for a midbass

while the front channels are also set at 4kHz for a tweeter resulting in a 2-way xover and

eliminating the need for a passive xover. Even with a set up like this, the midbass can still

be protected by the HPF which is not defeatable. It can be set anywhere in the 15Hz to

500Hz range creating a bandpass filter for the midbass by eliminating any damaging lower

frequencies in the subbass region.

15. Bass Boost Level switch

This switch can boost bass level by 0dB, 6dB or 12dB. The boost frequency is

centered at 50Hz.

16. Input mode switch

This function is for switching the rear channels' signal path. When switched to 4CH,

all 4 RCAs inputs are required. When switched to 2CH, the rear channels get their signal

input from the front channels in parallel.

17. Power Indicator

This LED will light up when amplifier works properly.

18. Protection Indicator

The red LED will light up and will be flashing if there is a fault presented to the

amplifier. Please disconnect the amplifier and resolve the fault before reconnecting the

amplifier.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Before you install the amplifier, investigate your car's layout very carefully. Take

special care when you work near the gas tank, fuel lines, hydraulic lines and electrical

wiring. Before making or breaking power connections in your system, disconnect the

MOUNTING AMPLIFIER

1.Soundstream D-Tower amplifiers can be installed vertical or

horizontal. Plan the installation method and find a suitable location with

sufficient air circulation.

2. Check the drawing below to see how to mount the feet for vertical or

horizontal mounting.

3. Be sure to install the amplifier in a way that makes adjustments easy.

4. Make sure that the wiring is secure to avoid damage.

Fig 3. Feet installation

vehicle battery. Confirm that your head unit or other equipment is turned off while

connecting the input jacks and speaker terminals. If you need to replace the power fuse,

replace it only with a fuse identical to that suggested by this manual. Using a fuse of a

different type or rating may result in damage to your audio system or your amplifier which

is not covered by warranty .

CONNECTING THE AMPLIFIER

1. Select cable and fuse according to the following table.

2. Connect the amplifiers ground cable to a close, bare metal part of the frame or

chassis. Use a nut and bolt, NOT a screw! The ground cable must be at least the same size

as the +12volt cable.

3. Connect the remote terminal to remote output of the head unit using 16 gauge (or

heavier) wire.

4. Connect the fuse holder within 18”(45cm) of the car battery, and run the selected

cable from this fuse to the amplifier.

5. Connect all the inputs with high-quality cables. Connect Remote Control if

necessary.

6. Insert fuse(s) into the battery fuse holder(s).

7. If using the rear channel of the DTR4.500 for a subwoofer, bridge the channels by

using the Left “+” and the Right “-“ terminals.
