CHOOSING A LOCATION
It is always best to plan the complete installation prior to
attempting to install any product. The routing of wires, power
connections and mounting locations should be planned first. As with
any car stereo installation, all work performed should be checked
thoroughly and carefully prior to the operation of the system.
The placement of your Orion speakers within your vehicle will
greatly affect the overall performance of your audio system.
Installation in every vehicle may not be possible without
modifications. Factory provided locations are generally preferable
due to ease of installation. In all cases speakers should be placed
in a location free of obstruction by body panels, window cranks,
storage compartments or anything that may hinder the speaker's
performance. Avoid areas that do not provide a flat, sturdy
mounting surface.
Orion speakers are designed to fit in almost any factory location.
Again, if at all possible, it is recommended that you use a factory
location. This applies mostly to later model vehicles. For those
earlier models that do not have factory locations or are limited to
front locations, it is recommended that you choose an area with
sufficient air space.
If you allow an insufficient amount of air space, the speaker may
not reproduce low frequencies very well. It is recommended to
mount the speakers in door panels, kick panels, rear decks, etc.
Ideally, the speaker should be mounted where it will be in an
enclosed airspace, allowing for extended bass response.
ATTENTION:
NOTE: Orion strongly recommends that you operate your system
at low volume prior to the completed installation of your Orion
speakers. This will allow a test of the speaker before securing it to
its permanent location.
CAUTION: Make sure that all speaker wiring is fully protected from
cuts, tears and possible wear. Any short circuit developing as a
result could severely damage the source unit or possibly the
amplifier. Make sure all speaker wires easily reach the
speaker terminal with no stress on the wires or connectors.
