Wiring Layout
In general, you should plan to connect the
DTAl
between the digital
source and the control head unit, as shown in Figure 3. If you are
using an equalizer or active crossover, be sure to insert the
DTAl
in
the chain before any of these components.
Determine how your vehicle’s wiring is laid out, and plan to run
your new wiring along the same routes.
Be
sure to keep power wires
away from
all
audio signal wires. (NOTE: Wires containing audio
signals can cross a power wire, but not run alongside it.)
You can route the new wires under the carpeting, but make sure
they do not interfere with the vehicle’s normal operation. Keep all

Automotive sound system installations can be tricky, especially for
first-timers. For this reason, we recommend using o professional
installer, who has the tools and, more importantly, the experience
to do the
lob
right. If you decide to install the equipment yourself,
we hope this manual will serve as a helpful guide.
Recommended Signal Cables
The DTAl uses custom gold-plated RCA
iacks
for analog and 2
of the available 3 digital audio connections. For best analog signal
transfer, we recommend using
Soundstream
DL.1
Stereo Audio
Cable, Streamline Audio Cable, or an equivalent premium cable.
For digital audio connections, use a precision flexible 75 ohm
cable like Soundstream’s
HRV.
1, 75 ohm Interconnect Cable, to
insure accurate transmission of digital signals.
