Question about Orion XTR Pro 1000 Car Audio Amplifier

Orion XTR Pro 1000 amp ticking

My amp was working fine, then the last time i started my truck , the stereo was already on ( I don't/didn't get that "pop" in the speakers that sometimes comes with starting up with the stereo on. The amp kicks on but, all I get is tick...tick...tick... I have the amp powering the subwoofer only, my other amp powers the rest. At first I thought it was just coming through the woofer but, after closer inspection, I heard the amp ticking & the power light flashing with the ticks. I know my proble isn't with sufficient power to the amp since 1. i have a truck w/high output alternator & 2. I have a yellow top optima battery. The amp worked fine for the past couple years. All this started up after I had a new head unit installed- the only thing the installer (supposedly) did was connect new RCA cables to it- y'know, the overpriced "stereo shop" kind. Before that, I had cheap cables running to it. When I was looking it over, I noticed I only had afew strands of my remote wire actually in the harness, I fixed it thinking "Ah Ha!!- that must be it" but, the problem still remains. I play my music loud sometimes but, not constanly so, the amp hasn't been abused since I've owned it. Is there a way to reset the amp? I've kind of got the impression that the ticking was a protection feature. I've disconnected the power & reconnected. The plug fuses look fine, pulled them out & put 'em back in. I don't think it would be the glass barrel fuse to the power at the battery, because it's for the entire system. It were blown, I wouldn't have any sound/no amps would even power up.

The amplifier output transistor or ic may be damage, its the relay may be thats ticking, or if not the output going to the speaker may be shorted or overloaded with low impedance, you may remove some speaker and try again.

I have an Orion 2150sx and an Orion xtr2150 will either of these run on a one ohm load ? If not what is the best way to run either of these amps to get the most power out of them. I have two Orion xtr...

EITHER OF THEM WILL WORK AT ONE OHM WITH NO PROBLEM, MAKE SURE YOU MAINTAIN VOLTAGE INTEGRITY, USING EITHER 2 OR 0 GUAGE POWER AND GROUND AND A POWER RATED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY.

My amp works when the volume is low, but if i go higher it turns off and then it power up again but i can't go higher, what will be the problem

Your Output devices are most likely going faulty. When that happens your protection mechanism is cutting in. OR it could be a speaker problem, You manual to troubleshoot is below. www.teamcsw.com/manuals/orixtrpro1000_2400.pdf

Will not power up

Hard question to answer because of the lack of information, but my first guess would be the remote turn on wire and my second and third gueses would be a resistors or a blown fuse.

Wiring diagram

Hello rivertoyz,

If your F250 has the stock radio, there are no preamp outputs, so you will need to use the speaker outputs. The best solution would be to wire a LOC (line output converter) to the rear channels and run RCA cables to the amp.

Speaker wire color code:

Left rear positive - Gray/Light Blue
Left rear negative - Tan/Yellow
Right rear positive - Orange/Red
Right rear negative - Brown/Pink

You'll need an amp wiring kit with 4gauge power and ground. Both the LOC and wiring kits are available at numerous online stores. The best service is from www.crutchfield.com. Another reputable online seller is www.sonicelectronix.com.

You did not say what subwoofer(s) you intend to use with the amp. If you want to stick with the Maxxsonics product, a pair of 10" Orion HP10D2's would be an excellent match. Wire each of the subs dual voice coils in series for 4ohms, then parallel them to the amp for a final load of 2ohms. Both of the linked retailers above sell the Orion's and many other brands as well. Just make sure that your sub selection has adequate power handling capability. At least 1000 watts RMS if you use a single sub and 500 watts RMS if you go with 2.

Hope this helps.
