Amplifier Wiring

Power Connections

• Power connections accept up to 4 AWG wire..

• 4 AWG power and ground wire recommended for optimal per-

formance..

• Connect 12V+ to the battery through a fuse holder.. This connec-

tion provides +12V main power to the amplifier..

• Power wire must be fused no more than 12” from battery..

Speaker Connections XTR2504 and XTR5004

The Orion amplifier offers four positive and four negative output terminals for ease of connecting channel 1, 2, 3, and 4 outputs to the speakers.. The amplifier is stable to 2Ω per channel.. See diagrams below for possible configurations..

• Ground amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to

the amplifier..

• Recommended fuses are 50A for the XTR2504, and 100A for the

XTR5004..

• 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..

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 recommended because the current delivery of the factory electrical system was designed only to accommodate electron- ics supplied by the auto manufacturer..
