C Over current Channel Circuit Breakers Short circuit shutdown AMPLIFIER LOCATION AND MOUNTING The Soundstream Granite 110 2 amplifier employs highly efficient circuitry and a unique Chassisink design to maintain lower operating temperatures When mounting the amplifier it should be securely fastened to the vehicle away from moisture stray or moving objects and major electrical components electrical motors fuel pumps etc To provide adequate ventilation mount the amplifier so that there are at least two inches of freely circulating air above and to the sides of it Before mounting the amplifier make certain the amplifier is configured correctly for your system BRIDGING MONO If used in dedicated mono set the switch to the mono setting and follow the wiring diagram below If used in Mixed Mono set the switch to the stereo position and follow the wiring diagram below XXX DIAGRAMS XXX BASS EQUALIZATION If the Granite 110 2 is being used to drive a subwoofer you may want to activate the subwoofer equalization circuit by throwing the switch to the XXX position Activating the circuit also engages a subsonic filter at 45 Hz The subsonic filter is designed to remove the very low frequency bass information that may damage subwoofers CROSSOVER SETTINGS The Granite 110 2 can be configured to operate full range for a set of satellite speakers or coaxials low pass for subwoofers or high pass for satellit
4. Configurations Use at least 16 gauge speaker wire preferably a flexible multi strand cable such as Soundstream Speaker 120 or Speaker 160 C Carefully run the positive power cable from the battery to a fuse or circuit breaker and then to the amplifier Connect the lead to the battery via either a fuse or a circuit breaker within 18 inches of the battery Leave the fuse out or the circuit breaker off until the installation is otherwise finished If the circuit breaker cannot be shut off manually do not make the final power connection to it See below for recommended fuse ratings to be used Amplifier Fuse Battery Fuse Circuit Breaker 25 amp automotive 30 amp D Run a ground cable for the amplifier and securely connect it to a solid chassis ground on the vehicle The ground cable should be the same gauge as the power cable E Double check each and every connection TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM No sound and LEDs are not lit Repeatedly blown amp fuse or frequent activation of thermal shut off CAUSE no power or ground at amp no remote turn on signal blown fuse near battery blown power supply fuse accessible through access cover on bottom of amp speaker or leads may be shorted verify adequate cooling of the amplifier speaker load may be less than 2 Ohms F Re connect the fuse or circuit breaker Power up the system and the red LED should be lit There may be a 2 3 second delay from the time that the sour
