AMPLIFIER WIRING

Power Connections

ssOrion HCCA25001 Fuse Size: 250 AMP.

ssOrion HCCA50001 Fuse Size: 500 AMP.

ssPower connections accept up to 1 AWG wire.

ss1 AWG power and ground wire must be used for optimal per- formance.

ssConnect 12V+ to the battery through fuse holder. This connec- tion provides +12V main power to the amplifier.

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

ssGround amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to the amplifier.

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

ssAdd 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.

WARNING! The Orion HCCA amplifiers have a single input for power and a single input for ground. Both connections must use 1 AWG wire for proper operation. Failure to do this may damage the amplifier and is not covered under warranty.

Speaker Connections

The Orion HCCA25001 and HCCA50001 amplifiers offer two positive and two negative output terminals for ease of connecting the speak- ers to the amplifier. Since these are mono amplifiers, the speaker connectors are paralleled internally. Each amplifier is stable to 1Ω and can support one or more speakers as long as the total impedance does not go below 1Ω. See the following diagrams and refer to item #7 under Top Panel Layout of End panel Layout section for LINE OUT settings explanation.
