What to do if my Orion Car Amplifier has distorted output?
- L
  Lisa JohnsonJul 29, 2025
  If your Orion Car Amplifier has a distorted output, here are a few potential causes and solutions: * Amplifier level sensitivity set too high: Readjust the gain. * Impedance load to amplifier too low: Check the speaker impedance load; if it's below 2Ω stereo or 4Ω mono, rewire the speakers to achieve a higher impedance. * Shorted speaker wires: Check the speaker wire connections and fix or replace as needed. * Speaker not connected to amplifier properly: Check the speaker wiring and fix or replace as needed.

What causes distorted output in Orion Car Amplifier?
- K
  Kathryn MorrisAug 2, 2025
  Distorted output in your Orion Car Amplifier can occur due to: * Internal crossover not set properly for speakers: Readjust the crossovers. * Speakers are blown: Check the system with known working speakers and fix or replace as needed.

Why does my Orion Car Amplifier have no output?
- J
  James KnightAug 6, 2025
  The Orion Car Amplifier might have no output due to several reasons: * Low or no remote turn-on input: Check the remote turn-on voltage output at the amplifier and fix if needed. * Blown fuse: Check the power wire integrity and look for speaker shorts. Fix as necessary and replace the fuse. * Disconnected power wires: Check the power wire and ground connections, fixing or replacing them as needed. * Unconnected audio input: Inspect the RCA connections, fixing or replacing them if necessary. * Disconnected speaker wires: Check the speaker wires and fix or replace them as needed. * Blown speakers: Test the system with a known working speaker and replace the speakers if required.

Why does my Orion Car Amplifier keep blowing fuses?
- P
  Paula MerrittAug 10, 2025
  Your Orion Car Amplifier's battery fuse might be blowing due to: * A short in the power wire or incorrect power connections: Check the power and ground connections and fix or repair as needed. * Using a fuse smaller than recommended: Replace it with the proper fuse size. * Too much current being drawn: Check the speaker impedance load, if it's below 2Ω stereo or 4Ω mono, rewire the speakers to achieve a higher impedance. Also, check the power and ground connections and fix or repair as needed.

  Lisa HayesAug 15, 2025
  If the fuse in your Orion Car Amplifier keeps blowing, it could be due to: * Too much current being drawn: Check the speaker impedance load. If it is below 2Ω stereo or 4Ω mono, rewire speakers to achieve a high impedance and replace with recommended size fuse. * Using a fuse smaller than recommended: Replace it with the proper fuse size. * Impedance load at amplifier too low: Check the speaker impedance load. If it's below 2Ω stereo or 4Ω mono, rewire speakers to achieve a higher impedance. * Speaker is blown with shorted outputs: Check system with known working speakers and fix or replace as needed.

Why does the audio cycle on and off in my Orion Car Amplifier?
- C
  Chad NolanAug 19, 2025
  The audio in your Orion Car Amplifier might be cycling on and off due to: * Thermal protection engaging: This happens when the amplifier heatsink temperature exceeds 90°C (190°F). Ensure proper ventilation for the amplifier and improve it if needed. * Loose or poor audio input: Check the RCA connections and fix or replace as needed. * Loose power connections: Check the power wire and ground connections and fix or replace as needed.

Why does my Orion Car Amplifier have poor bass response?
- C
  Christopher WatsonAug 23, 2025
  Poor bass response in your Orion Car Amplifier could be caused by: * Speakers wired with wrong polarity: This causes cancellation at low frequency. Check speaker polarity and fix as needed. * Crossover set incorrectly: Reset crossovers. * Impedance load at amplifier is too low: Check speaker impedance load; if it is below 2Ω stereo or 4Ω mono, rewire speakers to achieve a higher impedance.
