l o0.e l REFERENCE POWER SUPPLY DESIGN 6 dB/OCTA VE PASSIVE CROSSOVER CHART The REFERENCE amplifiers employ an extremely efficient unregulated pulse- width modulated oower SUDDIV. REFERENCE amolifiers from Soundstream are rated at 12 ;olts but &e’designed to take advantage of the additional voltage available when the vehicle is running. The two major advantages of the unregulated power supply are: l awesome dynamic power capabilities l added continuous power with higher voltages (see chart belo
