Orion XTR Series - Amplifier Wiring

AMPLIFIER WIRING
1. Disconnect the battery positive (+) lead before making any power connections.
2. Reinforce The Ground: Ground the battery negative terminal to a metal member to ensure an adequate ground.
(see Detailed Power Connections)
3. Connect the power cable assembly directly to the positive (+) terminal on the battery. CAUTION: DO NOT connect
amplifier to fuse box. Do not use a smaller gauge wire for the hot lead than coming out of your amplifier.
4. Use the supplied fuse within 18 inches of the battery.
5. Make sure that all connections are clean and properly secured. Failure to do so may result in damage to the compo¬
nents in the system.
6. Make sure wire enters the vehicle safely. Always use a grommet when penetrating metal.
7. Run wire through the vehicle in appropriate areas, try to avoid going near the fuse-box (it can radiate noise into your
power wire). Never get power from the fuse-box, this will at best cause a noise problem and may in some cases cause
electrical problems.
8. Once you have selected the mounting location, mount the amplifier using the four self-tapping screws provided.
Tighten screws securely.
9. Power connections are made through power connector in end of amplifier. Remove connector and install wires in end
and tighten screws, reinstall connector.
