Congratulations! You now own the Soundstream RUBICON Class A amplifier, the most musical amplifiers ever created for the 12 volt environment. Your Soundstream RUBICON IWKSO and ENOR Class A amplifiers are critically engineered to reproduce the most subtle details of high-pass and full-range applications and will outperform any other amplifier in the world. To maximize the performance of your system, we recommend that you thoroughly acquaint yourself with its capabilites and features.
RUBITM(/Japid-_Use Branched !mpulse) This new proprietary power supply topology eliminates “power sags” during low frequency reproduction by rapidly increasing the duty cycle, stabilizing the power supply and allowing it to deliver the power required when reproducing wide band frequencies. Also, greater reserve gate power is stored for low voltage conditions that occur during extreme conditions. STACTTM (STabilized Apex Topology) Reduces power - Current supply stress by 50%.

[ INSTALLATION STEP 1 [ INSTALLATION STEP 2 The RUBICON Class A Pf@ISSO and RWOIR amplifiers have the ability to operate in any one of the following modes: The RUBICON Class A PlclclSS0 and EIUOIR amplifiers have the ability to accept either a standard Unbalanced RCA signal input, or a Balanced “Pro Audio” style input signals with the use of the Soundstream BLT Balanced Line Transmitter or some other balanced line audio source.
( INSTALLATION STEP 3 ] REMOTE TURN-ON Connect the “Remote” line 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. POWER AND GROUND To ensure maximum output from your RUBICON Class A amplifier, use high quality, low-loss power and ground cables and connections.
[ INSTALLATION STEP 4 ) AMPLIFIER LOCATION The RUBICON Class A amplifiers employ highly efficient circuitry, a customengineered heat sink, and a unique Chassisink construction to maintain lower operating temperatures. Additional cooling may be required if the amplifier is located in a tightly confined area or when driving especially low impedance loads at extremely high levels.
