WIRING

POWER AND GROUND

To ensure maximum output from your REFERENCE404s amplifier, use high quality, low-loss power and ground cables. The REFERENCE404s amplifier will accept up to 4 gauge power and ground cables. Determine from the chart

CIRCUIT BREAKERS/FUSES

EXTERNAL

Like all audio components, the REFERENCE404s amplifier must be fused near the battery. A fuse or circuit breaker must be located within 18” of the battery. This will prevent a fire in the event of a shorted cable. See the chart below to determine the correct fuse value.

INTERNAL

The REFERENCE404s amplifier is fused with automotive-type fuses. In the event of blown power supply fuses, the “Fault” indicator on the front panel will light. The fuses are accessible via a plastic plug on the bottom of the amplifier. See the chart below to determine the fuse value. Never replace the fuses with a higher value than what is supplied. This may result in amplifier damage and will void the warranty!

WIRING (cont.)

REMOTE TURN-ON

Connect the “Remote” to the turn-on lead from the source unit. When +12 volts is received, the amplifier will turn on.

SIGNAL CABLE

Use a high-quality cable that will be easy to install and has minimal signal loss to guarantee optimum performance. Soundstream’s DL￿1 and SL￿1 are ideal.

SPEAKER CABLE

The REFERENCE404s amplifier will accept up to 8 gauge speaker cable. Use a high quality, flexible, multi-strand cable for best performance and longevity.
