When using Orion loudspeakers, minor deviations from the recommended frequency ranges can provide superior results depending 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.
Infinite Baffle Example High-Pass Set at 30Hz By removing low frequency signal that the woofer cannot produce, the woofer can play its capable range louder .
Sealed Example High-Pass Set at 20Hz This sealed example is the same 12-inch woofer in the recommended sealed enclosure. Up to 6 dB of boost is capable if 20 Hz was used. With +6dB of boost, the woofer has more out- put down to 15 Hz. Sealed Example High-Pass Set at 30Hz In this example, the frequency has been increased to 30 Hz.
Remote Gain Operation The remote gain port provides easy remote access to the internal gain structure of the sub- woofer section of the Orion 7005 amplifier .
Three Channel Bridged Stereo Configuration ● Front and rear channels are configured for bridged two-channel operation ● Lowest recommended impedance for both front and rear channels is 4 W ● Crossover and gain configurations are independently adjustable between the front, rear , and subwoofer channels.
AMPLIFIER INST ALLA TION 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.
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.
