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 fuse holder . this connec-
•
tion pr12V main power to the amplifier .
Power wire must be fused no more than 12” from battery .
•
Ground amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to
•
the amplifier .
Recommended fuses are 50A for the XtR2502, and 100A for the
•
XtR5002 .
Connect ReM terminal to remote turn-on lead from source unit .
•
this connection pr12V 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 .
Speaker Connections XTR2502 and XTR5002
the orion XtR2502 and XtR5002 amplifiers offer one positive and one
negative output terminal for ease of connecting channel 1 and/or 2
outputs to the speakers . the amplifiers are stable to 2
Ω
per channel .
see diagrams below .
one Channel/two Channel Configuration
Lowest recommended impedance is 2
•
Ω
stereo .
outputs can be configured for high-pass, low-pass, or full range
•
operation .
