INSTALLATION STEP 4
COHERENT STEREO™ / BRIDGED MONO
The stereo channels of the Reference705s have the ability to operate in either of the following modes:
Coherent Stereo with identical left and right stereo channels for maximum fidelity.
Bridged Mono for dedicated single channel operation; ideal for using the Reference705s in 3- channel operation. It is also used when large amounts of power are necessary for single speakers. In bridged mono, only the right channel input (per pair of channels) is active.
In bridged mono, only the right channel
input is active.

The Soundstream REFERENCE amplifiers have extensive internal power supply capacitance, called the
1.Connect the +12 volt cable to the amplifier and to the battery.
2.Connect one end of the ground cable to the chassis of the vehicle.
3.We have supplied a 150 ohm, 2 watt resistor with the amplifier. One leg of the resistor has been connected to the ground terminal of the amplifier.
4.To charge the capacitor bank, touch the loose end of the ground cable to the open leg of the resistor for at least 45 seconds.
5.Remove the resistor, and connect the ground wire.
