Dear Customer

Selecting fine audio equipment, such as the unit you have just purchased, is only the beginning of your

musical enjoyment. Now is the time to consider how to maximize the fun and excitement your equipment

has to offer.

AUTOTEK and the Electronic Industry Associations Consumer Electronic Group want you to get the most

out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level, a level that lets the sound come through loud and clear

without annoying blaring distortion; most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, what

may have sounded “normal” can actually be too loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by

setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a “safe level”:

•Start your volume control at a low setting.

•Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

•Once you have established a comfortable “sound level”, make a note of this position and do not go

above this setting.

Taking a minute to do this will help you to prevent hearing damage in the future. After all, we want you

listening for a lifetime.

Introduction

Your Autotek STEALTH amplifier has been designed to give you very high performance, and valuable

features, at a reasonable price. Take the time to read over this brief set of instructions, and you will get full

enjoyment from your system.

Installation

The quality of the installation will affect system performance and reliability. You may wish to contact a

dealer or professional installer. The amplifier isgenerally mounted in the rear trunk area but can be

mounted in any convenient area such as beneath a seat. Please be sure to locate this unit where you have

reasonable air circulation and protection from any hazard with moisture. When considering the mounting

location you should minimize the length of the power supply and speaker leads. It is important to ensure

that the cooling fans or the heat sink are not against a panel or a surface preventing air circulation. Mark the

location fro the mounting screw holes by using the amplifier as a template. Drill #29 or 9/64” diameter

holes at the marked locations and firmly fasten the amplifier in place with the mounting screws supplied in

the accessory kit. (Refer to Fig. 1)

Caution

Before drilling or cutting any holes investigate the layout of your automobile thoroughly; take care when

working near the gas lines or hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.

Warning

This power amplifier has a protection feature to prevent any damage form misuse or faulty conditions—

excessive heat, short circuited speakers or overload. If the nit senses one of the above conditions, the

protection indicator will light and the system will shut down. To diagnose the problem turn all levels down,

all power off and check the installation for possible wring mistakes or shorts. In the event the amplifier

shuts down due to excessive heat under adverse conditions simply allow time for the unit to cool down at

which time the protection indicator will not light.

Fig. 1 Installation of amplifier

Power Supply Connections

The +12VDC and ground wires should be heavy gauge standard copper wire with heavy insulation. The

wire gauge should be 4AWG for the 300.S, 400.S, 500.S or larger. In addition it has a 12V remote control

wire and it should be 14AWG-18AWG. It is preferable to have longer speaker wires and shorter power

supply wires to minimize power losses.

+12V Power

This wire is usually connected directly to the positive battery terminal. Ensure that the + power supply wire

is fused via an assigned fuse in line with the + power supply wire. This connection must be completed by

using spade lug with insulating sleeve.

Ground

This connection must be completed by using spade lug with insulating sleeve. This wire is the electrical

ground and must be fastened securely to the vehicle chassis. The best method is to use a shelf threading

sheet metal screw since the threads cut into bare metal. Ensure that all paint coating or other insulation is

removed from around the hole are and using self tapping screw, securely affix the bare wire ends to the

vehicle chassis. Use as short a piece of cable as possible—use the same gauge as for the +12V.

Remote

Many radios or other music sources have an output terminal for connection of the remote turn-on of the

power amplifier. If a radio doesn’t have a remote turn-on feature, then you can use the antenna relay wire

which activates the antenna motor. But you must take notice if the power antenna retracts when the tape

player is operating. In this case, you can’t use the antenna relay wire to operate the remote turn-on.

Power Input Connection

Fig. 2 Power Input Connections

Caution

First make +12V wire connection then the ground connection and finally the remote connection.

Furthermore the +12V wire must always be fused at the battery for protection against possible damage. If

you need to replace the power fuse, replace it with a fuse of the same value. Using a fuse of a different type

or rating may result in a serious hazard.

This amplifier has two types of signal input terminal. RCA connector for low input. Adjustment of input

levels is accomplished by the gain control of both channels. Adjusting this control allows the amplifier gain

to be controlled to match and balance both channels.

The RCA input connector should be used when connecting the radio/cassette line out and this connection is

usually made by using RCA-RCA connector wires. RED connector is used for RIGHT channel and

WHITE connector is used for LEFT channel.

SIGNAL INPUT CONNECTIONS

Note: RCA Cable not supplied with unit.

DOTTED LINES SHOW 4-SPEAKER CONNECTIONS.

IN THIS CASE, IT IS BETTER TO USE 4 ohm SPEAKER TO

PREVENT ANY DAMAGES.

Fig. 4 Speaker Output Connections—MONO Mode

•The amplifier can be used in the STEREO and BRIDGED mode as shown in Fig. 4, Fig. 5.

•The speaker wires should be connected to the speaker terminal on amplifier.

•Notice that most speakers have a polarity marking such as “+” or a dot on speaker terminals and

these markings denote the positive terminals of the speaker and are used as a guide to phase the

speakers. Improper phasing causes a loss of bass response.

•When used in the BRIDGED mode the speaker wires should be connected to the output terminals

of the amplifier as shown . (Ref. To Fig. 5)

•When operating 4-speaker system, the impedance of the speaker is an important factor. Do not use

less than 2 ohm in the mono mode.

•Do not use speakers in parallel for less than a 1 ohm load per channel in the stereo mode.

•Too low impedance loads will cause excessive heat radiation from the amplifier and the protection

circuit will be operated to prevent damage. In this case, you must reduce the volume to the proper

level.

Caution

Be careful not to connect speaker (-) to the ground chassis.
