Bridging (strapping)
For bridging into a single speaker load, the Orion XTR5001, XTR10001 and XTR15001 have the ability to be bridged with another amplifier of the same model.. To do this you must utilize the MASTER/COPY switch settings.. For the MASTER amplifier, set the switch setting to MASTER.. This will route the signal through RCA to the other (slave) amplifier.. On the Slave amplifier set this switch to the COPY position.. Refer to Line Output Configuration section of this manual.. Set the PHASE switch on the slave amp, move the phase switch from 0 to 180, exactly opposite of the master amp.. Refer to the Phase Switches section of this manual..
On the slave amplifier be sure to turn off all crossovers.. For the speaker connections, connect the positive (+) speaker lead from the speaker to the positive (+) speaker terminal of the master amplifier.. On the negative
(+)speaker terminal of the slave amplifier must be connected to the negative
WARNING! The impedance of the speaker must not be less than 2Ω.. See diagram below..
NOTE: For best results, connect both negative speaker terminals on the master amp to both negative terminals on the slave amp using at least 12 AWG cable..
