About the Soundstream Picasso Nano PN5.640D
Great little system amp
Great little system amp
Instead of filling your trunk with amps and a sub like you did in your youth, you can now power a complete speaker and subwoofer system in your more up-to-date vehicle with one single Soundstream Picasso Nano PN5.640D. This 5-channel amplifier will power your entire system, yet it will fit in some pretty tight locations because of its incredibly compact size. And there's no doubt that the stalking tarantula logo looks pretty cool too.
Power packed
The Picasso Nano PN5.640D puts out 4 channels of 60 watts RMS to your full-range speakers and up to 350 watts to your sub — that's a great balance of power between speaker and sub levels. Or, if your rear speakers don't concern you, you could power high-performance front components with 200 watts RMS each, along with 350 watts for the sub.
Convenient controls and connections
Soundstream gives you all the control features you'll need to craft the sound to match your different components. High-pass filters on the front and rear channels keep low bass out of your full-range speakers so they'll play louder and cleaner. The subwoofer channel features a variable low-pass filter and bass boost, so you can get the best possible performance from your sub. The amp can handle preamp or speaker-level signals so you can use it with a factory receiver that doesn't have preamp outputs.

Features
Channel Configuration: The SoundStream PN5.640D is a 5-channel amp; essentially two full range 2-channel amps and one mono subwoofer amp built into one chassis. Both full range sections are bridgeable, so it can be configured as a 5-channel, 4-channel, or 3-channel amplifier.
- Channels 1/2 and 3/4:
- 4Ω: 60 watts RMS x 4-channels
- 2Ω: 80 watts RMS x 4-channels
- Bridged: 160 watts RMS x 2-channels into 4Ω
- Channel 5:
- 4Ω: 200 watts RMS x 1-channel
- 2Ω: 350 watts RMS x 1-channel
Signal Inputs: Both RCA harnesses and speaker level harnesses are included to plug into the three input ports on the amp.
Auto Turn-on: When using a speaker level input, the amp will turn on automatically when it senses the input signal.
Controls
Level Control (Gain): The input levels are independently adjustable for channels 1/2, 3/4, and 5. The input range is 0.5 Volts to 12.0 Volts.
Crossover: The amp has independent crossover controls for channels 1/2, 3/4, and 5. The crossover slopes are all 12 dB/octave:
- Channels 1/2:
- Mode: two position switch; choose flat (full range, crossover is bypassed) or high pass
- Frequency: set the crossover point when in high pass mode; rotary dial; 35-250 Hz
- Channels 3/4:
- Mode: choose flat (full range, crossover is bypassed) or high pass
- Frequency: set the crossover point when in high pass mode; rotary dial; 35-250 Hz
- Channel 5: because the channel 5 is the
subwoofer section, the crossover is always engaged
- Frequency: set the low pass crossover point; rotary dial; 35-250 Hz
Bass Boost: The bass boost on channel 5, centered at 45 Hz, is continuously variable from 0 dB (flat) to +12 dB.
Wired Remote: A wired subwoofer level control is included (channel 5 only). The remote has integrated flanges and screws are included to mount the unit under the dash. It includes a 16-1/2' cable to connect to the amplifier.
Note: The wired remote measures approximately 1-5/8" wide (2-1/4" including the mounting flanges) x 1" tall x 1-5/8" deep (2-1/4" including the knob and cable).
Connections
Power Input: Two set-screw terminals are provided for connecting the power and ground cables. The terminals accept up to 8-gauge wire. The set screws are tightened/loosened with a Phillips head screw driver (not included).
Speaker Outputs: The five pair of speaker output set-screw terminals will accept up to 8-gauge wire. The set screws are tightened/loosened with a Phillips head screw driver (not included).
Signal Input: The amplifier has three proprietary signal input jacks, for use with either the included RCA harnesses or the included speaker level harnesses.
Remote: The wired remote cable plugs into another proprietary jack on the amp. The remote turn-on wire is also found in this harness.
Fuses: The amp has one 40-amp ATO fuse.

A lot of power and 5 channels in a small package! Connected a 10" sub and 4 speakers to this amp, great power! The input connections limit you to wire size, so make sure you have correct power/grd wire. Connections for speaker/power inputs strip out easy, so do not over tighten.
