AMPLIFIER CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS Power LED - when lit indicates that the amplifier is on. Front Gain Control - continuously adjusts from 200mV to 5V for full power output. Front High-Level Input Connector - accepts input from head unit's speaker output. Front RCA Inputs - accepts RCA input from a source unit, preamplifier, or equalizer. -

The 4CH / 2 CH switch routes input from the front inputs to the rear section of the amplifi- er. This allows the Orion 4004 channel amplifier to utilize a single set of RCA's or high-level inputs to feed signal to both the front and rear channels of the amplifier. -
Page 8: Intelli Bass Control
0dB to 16dB of boost centered at 45Hz. Initially the Q is very low (wide). As INTELLi Bass is added, the Q rises (narrows). This allows the Orion 4004 to overcome acoustic deficiencies in your vehicle. The type of enclosure used, the sub-woofer's excursion capabil- ity, personal preference, and attitude determine acceptable boost levels. -
Page 9: Speaker Connections
Speaker Connections Four Channel Stereo Configuration Front and rear channel lowest recommended impedance is 2W stereo. Crossover mode, output, and gain configurations are independently adjustable between the front and rear channels. Two-channel or four-channel input can be used for this configuration. For source unit fading, use the four-channel input mode. - Page 10 Tri-Mode Six Channel Configuration Lowest recommended impedance is 2W stereo and 4W bridged mono. Front and rear outputs must be set for full range operation. Passive crossovers must be used on all components and frequencies must not overlap. WARNING! Failure to observe these requirements may result in damage to the amplifier. ©2004 Directed Electronics, Inc.
- Page 11 Two Channel Bridged Configuration Front and rear channels are configured for bridged two-channel operation Lowest recommended impedance for both front and rear channels is 4W Crossover and gain configurations are independently adjustable between the front and rear channels Two-channel operation is recommended for this operational mode. Front and rear outputs can be configured for high-pass, low-pass, or full range operation.

Page 12: 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 13: 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 the RCA and speaker wires to the amplifier. Check the quality of your speakers and signal connections. This will determine the ultimate per- formance of your Orion amplifier. -
Page 15: 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. -
