Page 8: Subwoofer High-Pass
When using Orion loudspeakers, minor deviations from the recommended frequency ranges can provide superior results depending on your speaker locations and your vehicle acoustics. Setting crossover frequencies higher than recommended will not cause damage and may provide superior sonic results depending on your system's performance goals. Refer to your loudspeaker owner's manual for assistance in choosing the proper crossover frequencies for your system. -

Page 13: Amplifier Installation
AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION Choosing Mounting Locations The location of your amplifier will depend on several important issues. Due to the low pro- file size of the Orion amplifiers, there are many possible installation locations that will yield satisfactory amplifier performance. Always mount the amplifier in a place that protects the amplifier from the elements. -
Page 14: Tools Of The Trade
Power for systems with a single amplifier can be supplied by most automotive electrical sys- tems. Systems with multiple amplifiers may require a higher capacity battery, alternator or the use of a storage capacitor. We strongly recommend the use of a Directed Audio Essentials power capacitor with an extra battery in larger stereo systems. -

Step 6 Turn the vehicle's key switch to the off position. Step 7 Disconnect the vehicle's battery ground terminal. Step 8 Connect power wires to the amplifier (ground first, then 12 V(+) and RGC). Step 9 Connect the RCA and speaker wires to the amplifier. Check the quality of your speakers and signal connections. -
Page 16: Adjusting The Sound Of The System
Adjusting the Sound of the System Once you have checked the system's operation, adjust the sound of the system. Adjusting the sound of the system is accomplished by setting the level controls and adjusting the internal crossovers. Step 1 Turn the signal source volume control all the way down. Set any tone con- trols to their flat or defeated positions. -
