AMPLIFIER WIRING
Power Connections
Orion HCCA25001 Fuse Size: 250 AMP.s
Orion HCCA50001 Fuse Size: 500 AMP.s
Power connections accept up to 1 AWG wire.s
1 AWG power and ground wire must be used for optimal per-s
formance.
Connect 12V+ to the battery through fuse holder. This connec-s
tion provides +12V main power to the amplifier.
Power wire must be fused no more than 12” from battery.s
Ground amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to s
the amplifier.
Connect REM terminal to remote turn-on lead from source unit. s
This connection provides +12V power to turn-on the amplifier.
Add extra ground wire between the negative terminal of the s
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.
WARNING! The Orion HCCA amplifiers have a single input for power
and a single input for ground. Both connections must use 1 AWG wire
for proper operation. Failure to do this may damage the amplifier and
is not covered under warranty.
Speaker Connections
The Orion HCCA25001 and HCCA50001 amplifiers offer two positive
and two negative output terminals for ease of connecting the speak-
ers to the amplifier. Since these are mono amplifiers, the speaker
connectors are paralleled internally. Each amplifier is stable to 1Ω
and can support one or more speakers as long as the total impedance
does not go below 1Ω. See the following diagrams and refer to item
#7 under Top Panel Layout of End panel Layout section for LINE OUT
settings explanation.
