slight distortion and turn the level control back slightly for an
undistorted output . Depending on your system, the midrange and
tweeter output may be on the same output channels .
6 .
turn up the level control corresponding to the tweeter output
until you hear slight distortion and turn back the level control
slightly for an undistorted output . Depending on your system
the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output
channels .
7 .
Fine-tune the output level between midrange and tweeters .
Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this
manual for detailed instructions .
8 .
Repeat steps 5-7 for the rear speakers . If you do not have rear
speakers continue to step 10 .
9 .
set levels between the front and rear midrange and tweeters for
optimum front/rear balance .
10 .
turn up the level control corresponding to the woofer output
until you hear slight distortion and turn back the level control
slightly for an undistorted output .
11 .
Fine-tune the output level between satellite speakers and the
woofers . Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of
this manual for detailed instructions .
12 .
enjoy your awesome orion sound system .

Amplifier Visual Troubleshooting
Your new XtR amplifier has three indicator lights (LeD's) mounted on
the top plate of the amplifier as seen in the next figure . these lights
are very useful in trouble shooting possible amplifier problems and
issues .
Power LED: this LeD lights up green when the amplifier is turned on .
this represents normal operation if the Protection and thermal LeD's
next to it are off .
Protection LED: this LeD lights up red if the amplifier goes into
protection . Below is a description of reasons the amplifier could
engage the protection circuit . the protection indications will self
reset once the condition has been fixed .
•
Short:
speaker wires pinched or shorted together or to ground
(frame of vehicle) .
•
Overcurrent:
Check for possible speaker issue(s) or speaker wiring
pinched in a door or other metal . Make sure speaker(s) load is
not below the minimum impedance load .
•
DC Offset:
this can happen if the installation inadvertently
connects the power wire to the speaker input(s) . this can also
happen if the amplifier has an internal problem .
•
Undervoltage:
Vehicle charging system is not supplying enough
voltage to the amplifier . this can also occur if you use too small
a gauge wire or the terminals connecting the amplifier power to
the electrical system are dirty or corroded .
•
Overvoltage:
Vehicle charging system is supplying too much
voltage or over the amplifiers rated DC input . Usually this occurs
when there is a problem with the electrical system . turn off the
headunit when jump-starting the car .
