Door Mounting; Rear Deck Mounting; Installing The Mid/Woofers - Orion HCCA 5.2 Owner's Manual

DOOR MOUNTING

When checking for possible speaker locations in the doors, check the operation of
the window and all assemblies. There is also a stabilizer stop bar in between the door
and the door jamb. This bar prevents the door from opening too far. Many shade
tree installers overlook this and check for clearance only when the door is fully open.

REAR DECK MOUNTING

In rear deck installations, check the operation of the trunk suspension springs or
tension bars. These tension bars move in the opening and closing of the trunk.
You cannot be too cautious during this part of the installation, In addition,
do not locate the speakers too close to the back of the rear deck. Installing
the far screws will only be possible with the removal of the rear window.

INSTALLING THE MID/WOOFERS

Step : Determine where the speaker will be mounted. Make sure there is a flat
area large enough for the speaker to fit properly. An uneven mounting
surface can damage the driver.
Step 2: Check to make sure the space you have chosen for the speaker will not
interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
Step 3: Using the supplied template guide, mark the mounting hole and
mounting screw hole locations with a pen.
Step 4: Cut the hole for the speaker. When using correctly sized factory locations,
this step can be passed. A hole can be cut either with a pair of metal tin
snips, an air or jig saw, or with a hole saw corresponding to the size of the
mid/woofer listed below.
WARNING:
Step 5: Run the speaker wire to the speakers. Make sure to keep wires away from
sharp metal or other edges. When Passing through metal, use a protective
grommet.
Step 6: Pre-drill mounting screw holes using a /8" drill bit.
WARNING:
Step 7: Pull the wire through the speaker opening and connect to the speaker. Be sure to
observe proper mid/woofer polarity during this process.
