Power Connections - Orion XTREME 800.4 2 Owner's Manual

POWER CONNECTIONS
• Minimum 8 gauge power and ground cable is recommended for acceptable performance
• 4 gauge power and ground cable is recommended for optimal performance
• Fuse power wire less than 18" from battery
• Ground amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to the amplifier
• Add extra ground wire between the negative terminal of the battery and the chassis
TUNING 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 helps especially in newer vehicles, where the current delivery of the factory electrical system
was designed only to accommodate electronics supplied by the auto manufacturer.
