Power Connections for the XTR5001, XTR10001
and XTR15001
• 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 provides +12V 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 .
• Connect ReM terminal to remote turn-on lead from source unit .
this connection provides +12V 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

the orion XtR5001, XtR10001, and XtR15001 amplifiers offer two
positive and two negative output terminals for ease of connecting the
speakers to the amplifier . since these are mono amplifiers, the speaker
connectors are paralleled internally . each amplifier is stable to 1Ω . see
following diagrams .
