INSTALLATION
Confirm the mounting location and depth requirements by
inspecting the area where the speaker will be mounted. Most
speakers will fit into stock locations on the vehicle, in this case only
depth is important.
If the location you have picked does require cutting, use the hole
cutout measurement f rom page 3 and mark the mounting location.
If there is a cosmetic panel where the speaker will be mounted, we
recommend using a utility knife to carefully cut a hole in it. Confirm
the cut by placing the speaker in the hole. You may modify the hole
as necessary.
If it will be necessary to cut steel, reinstall the cosmetic panel in
place and use the hole you have previously cut as a template. This
will help to insure proper cutting and a good fit. Mark the location
for the speaker mounting screws, remove the panel and drill the
screw holes. When finished you may replace the panel.
After cutting and drilling all holes, inspect the mounting areas for
any metal burrs or rough edges. File any area that may interfere
with the mounting of the speaker.
Clean any metal shavings from the mounting area and check for
areas in which water may enter the speaker cavity. Treat the area for
water protection when necessary.
Make sure your source unit (CD, DVD, etc) is turned off while
connecting the speaker terminals. Turn on the various components
and slowly advance the volume. Remember to check and recheck
all connections to insure proper use.
Orion recommends using at least 18-gauge wire with your new
speaker system. Thinner gauge wire may easily be severed and can
cause damage to your system should any bare wire come in contact
with the vehicle's chassis.
Make sure that your audio system is off while installing and
connecting your new Orion speakers. Failure to do so could
result in damaging the speaker beyond repair.
