While many line output converters are available. We thank you for choosing Sound-
stream. The advantage to using the iCQ.2 is that we use the nest quality parts available
for unmatched sound qulaity.
Most factory headunits are designed to roll the lower frequencies off when the volume
increases to save the factory speakers. The iCQ.2 will keep constant voltage so at any
volume level the sound remains constant as the volume gores up, with no roll off. This re-
sults in the best possible sound at any level.

INSTALLATION
The Power Connection (12v+ and Ground) should be made with minimum 18g wire. The 12v+
terminal should be connected to 12v positive with a 1A fuse between the iCQ.2 and the power
source.
The GND terminal should be connected to chasis ground and should have a ring terminal
crimped. The terminal should be connected to chasis ground where all piant and grease has
been removed for maximum contact.
