Amplifier Wiring, Remote Gain Operation

Remote Gain Operation

The remote gain port provides easy remote access to the internal gain structure of the HCCA power amplifier. The RGC-1 plugs into the amplifier via the 1/8" mini jack plug. The RGC-1 can be installed in the front of the vehicle to control the amplifier gain level. The RGC-1 can be used as a bass level control when used on an amplifier dedicated to subwoofers.

In addition, one RGC-1 can be used on multiple sub amplifiers. Plug the RGC-1 into the first amp that must have its RCA output selection switch in the MASTER position. The RGC-1 information will now be sent to subsequent amps via the MASTER signal.

AMPLIFIER WIRING

Power Connections for the 600D and 1200D

●Orion 600D Fuse Size: 1 x 50 AMP MAXI

●Orion1200D Fuse Size: 3 x 40 AMP ATC

●Power connections accept up to 4 AWG wire.

●4 AWG power and ground wire recommended for optimal performance.

●Connect 12V+ to the battery through fuse holder. This connection provides +12V main power to the amplifier.

●Power wire must be fused no more than 18" from battery.

●Ground amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to the amplifier.

●Connect REM terminal to remote turn-on lead from source unit. This connection provides +12V power to turn-on the amplifier.

●Add extra ground wire between the negative terminal of the battery and the chassis.

Power Connections for the 2500D

●Power connections accept up to 4 AWG wire.

●Dual 4 AWG power and ground wire required for proper performance.

●Connect 12V+ to the battery through power distribution and fuse holder. This connection provides +12V main power to the amplifier.

●Power wires must be fused no more than 18" from battery.

●Terminate both grounds of the amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as pos- sible to the amplifier.

●Connect REM terminal to remote turn-on lead from source unit. This connection provides +12V power to turn-on the amplifier.

●Add an extra ground wire between the negative terminal of the battery and the chassis. Either dual 4 AWG or single 1/0 AWG is recommended.

NOTE: The addition of a ground wire from the battery to the chassis of the vehicle improves the ability of the battery to supply power to the amplifier. This is recom- mended because the current delivery of the factory electrical system was designed only to accommodate electronics supplied by the auto manufacturer.

WARNING! The Orion 2500D has two separate four-gauge power and ground inputs. Both pairs of connections must use 4 AWG power wire for proper operation. Failure to do this may damage the amplifier and is not covered under war- ranty. The 2500D cannot be operated in a bridge or strapped configuration, attempting to do so will damage the amplifier.
