CIRCUIT BREAKERS/FUSES 
EXTERNAL
Like all car audio amplifiers, the Reference705s must be protected with a fuse or circuit 
breaker located within 18” of the battery. This will prevent a fire in the event of a shorted 
cable. The value of the circuit breaker or fuse should be between 60 and 80 amps. 
INTERNAL
The Reference705s is fused on its front panel with a 40 amp Maxi-fuse. In the event of a 
blown power supply fuse, the “Fault” indicator on the front panel will light. Never replace 
the fuse with a higher value than what is supplied. This may result in amplifier 
damage and will void the warranty!
REMOTE TURN-ON
Connect the turn-on lead from the source unit to the “Remote” input on the amplifier. When 
+12 volts is received, the amplifier will turn on.
SIGNAL CABLE
Depending on your application, you may use one to three pairs of signal cables to drive your 
Reference705s. Use a high-quality cable that will be easy to install and has minimal signal 
loss to guarantee optimum performance.
SPEAKER CABLE
The Reference705s will accept up to 8 gauge speaker cable. Use a high quality, flexible, 
multi-strand cable for best performance and longevity. Soundstream Speaker120 (12 gauge)
