INTE RN AL CROSSOVE R CO N FIG U RATI O N
The crossover section of the HCCA amplifier is continuously variable and ex¬
tremely flexible. There are eight different crossover configurations possible al¬
lowing high-pass, low-pass and band-pass configurations. The high-pass crossover
utilizes the INTELLi Q feature. This circuit is designed to optimize the performance
of ORION subwoofers in all types of enclosures.
When using ORION loudspeakers, minor deviations from the recommended frequency ranges can provide superior results de¬
pending 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.
WARNING!!! DO NOT set crossover frequencies lower than the speakers recommended operating range. This can cause
driver failure that is not covered by manufacturer's warranty.

600HZ 5kHz
The crossover section is marked at four frequency points for
ease of system adjustment. These points are 45 Hz, 175 Hz,
600 Hz and 5,000 Hz. Specific crossover points can be chosen
based on the recommended operational bandwidth of your
speakers.
There are three small dots on the frequency range dial.
These dots represent commonly used ORION crossover fre¬
quencies. These crossover frequencies are 85 Hz, 2,500 Hz
and 3,500 Hz respectively.
