Crossover Switch adjusted from 200mV to 8V. Refer to Testing the System and Adjust- Controls the type of filter for the onboard active crossover. The Orion ing the Sound of the System sections of this manual for detailed XTR500.4, XTR750.4, XTR1000.4, XTR1700.4 and XTR2500.4 have instructions on setting the gain.
The Slave amplifier(s) gain will not be controlled. crossover is active. The high-pass crossover is continuously variable from XTR500.4,XTR750.4 and XTR1000.4 : 50Hz - 5kHz , The remote gain port provides easy remote access to the internal gain XTR1700.4 and XTR2500.4 : 50Hz-1.5kHz/500Hz-15kHz(Using x10 structure of the XTR power amplifier.

WARNING! Failure to observe these requirements may result in damage to the amplifier XTR500.4,XTR750.4 and XTR1000.4 Figure 5 NOTE: To get full output in this configuration, band limiting filters as shown in this diagram may need to be used to prevent the impedance from dropping too low and engaging protection circuits.
The location of your amplifier will depend on several important issues. WARNING! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, Due to the low profile size of the Orion amplifiers, there are many brake lines, hydraulic lines, vacuum lines, or electrical wiring when possible installation locations that will yield satisfactory amplifier working on your vehicle.

Symptom Probable Cause Action To Take Speaker not connected to amplifier properly. Check speaker wires and repair or replace as needed. Refer to the Speaker Connections section of this manual for detailed instructions. Internal crossover not set properly for Readjust crossovers. Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration speakers section of this manual for detailed instructions.

MEM O Symptom Probable Cause Action To Take Impedance load at ampli er is too low. Check speaker impedance load if below 2Ω, rewire speakers to achieve higher impedance. Speaker is blown with shorted outputs Check system with known working speakers and fix or replace as needed. Actual current exceeds fuse rating.
